Black Velvet

Two outfit posts in a row! I'm on a roll...and guess what, you may even get one tomorrow too!  I have had this Marc by Marc Jacobs jacket since Christmas Eve of 2006.  I had been obsessed with it ever since I saw it on Emma Watson in 2005 [here] and I searched for it every day and finally found it on eBay and it arrived just in time to wear it for Christmas [pic from btb...before the blog.] This was a major splurge, I think I paid $80 for it...sheesh! That was a LOT for me back then (now too usually...)  Sadly my chest has grown a bit in the 5 years since I've had it so I have been searching for it in a bigger size because I love it so much.  But for now I just don't button it.

You guys are probably getting sick of seeing my purse every day, but get used to it ;) I need to use it every day for at least a year to make up for the cost (cost/wear ratio ;) )  I do sometimes break out my mini MJ purse, but only on the weekends if I go somewhere, its too small to use for work.  As you may have guessed I'm more of a shoe girl than a bag girl, I can live with 2/3 bags, but need TONS of shoes.  Are you a shoe girl or a bag lady?
