Fall in love with comfort and quality. Pink suede over-the-knee boots found last May/June at the Neiman Marcus sale (my favorite for shoes!). Blue suede Balenciaga dress my Partner-in-all-things-Fashion (Claudia) Found shopping the Balenciaga outlet store in Cabazon two years ago. The cashmere-wool blue Escada coat from last spring’S sale at the Beverly Hills store. The bright pink striped Hermès scarf? Purchased in Paris many years ago at a sale that requires hours of standing in line. And the Prada handbag with the many zipped compartments? Allegedly imperfect and purchased at the brand’s out-of-the-way outlet store in Tuscany. Buy quality offseason and on sale at a discount and plan to keep forever!
