[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a poster who always mentions her "ponte pants and silk scarves" as if that's the height of good taste.  I honestly can't remember the last time I wore a silk scarf, if ever.[/quote]

Yes! And for years has been talking about her crisp button ups. I was about to respond and say I wonder if it is the same person and then I reread the post above and lo and behold she mentions the button ups.

Who wears “crisp” button ups anymore? They were a thing when I went to law school 20 years ago. Not so much now. Maybe the Hermes scarves pull it all together [/quote]

Sigh...my husband who is pretty clueless on gifts usually avoids buying "stuff" - we are much more likely to celebrate birthdays by going out to a nice restaurant than exchanging gifts. But he got a suggestion a couple years ago from a friend to buy me a Hermes scarf for Christmas -- I think it was $400? I work for an nonprofit. I've worn it to work-related events and have gotten compliments on it but honestly would be pretty embarrassed if anyone recognized it as Hermes. It goes without saying that when I have worn it the entire rest of my outfit including shoes likely cost far less than $400.

My more splurge clothes come from Anthropologie. I love MM LaFleur but the only items I've owned I bought from consignment stores or Poshmark. Ditto for Eileen Fisher - love it for sweaters and basics but shop for it at Nordstrom Rack and when there's a big sale on. [/quote]
