First Fashion Purchase of '08

Thanks to J.Crew's "up to 50% off" final sale extravaganza (as opposed to all their other sale extravaganzas that regularly show up in my inbox), I made my first purchase of the new year!



J.Crew sparkle tartan "Madeline" blouse, $19.99 (was $78). UPDATE: It's ridiculously big and boxy. I'm going to have use my as-yet-untested dart-making skillz to alter it, as it's unreturnable. Boo! Hiss!

And just for kicks (get it?? harrr), the last fashion purchase of '07:



Saucony "Jazz" sneaks, $14.99 (for certain colors).
