Covetworthy

I started this blog as my personal fashionista manifesto. As a personal shopper and lingerie designer, a former buyer and fashion director and overall consumerella, I live this stuff. (Much more on my crazy and crazy blessed life in future posts…)

If there’s one thing I pride myself on (besides my shoes), it’s my deeply-ingrained Southern hospitality. I was taught to make guests feel welcome, and there’s no better way to do that than by offering a little gift. So for now until we meet again, here is my virtual welcome gift for you: A Wish.

I wish you found money: absent-mindedly stashed in the pockets of coats and jeans, or tucked covertly in the zipper compartments of purses you were about to give to Goodwill.

I wish you sales in all their glorious varieties: sample, hidden, online only, end of season, half-yearly and half off. I wish you a virtual avalanche of stock in your sizes and no lines at checkout.

I wish you parking space, trunk space and closet space.

I wish you Manolo style at Mossimo prices.

I wish you freedom from indecision, bad decision, and worst of all, buyer’s remorse.

I wish you good hair days, flawless skin and chic flats to prowl the stores like your personal catwalk. (It’s more rewarding to shop when you look like you already have it all.)

In short, I wish you the shopping equivalent of good karma.

But when you have this, remember that it is a gift. Do not boast arrogantly of your newfound riches to fellow shoppers. There, but for the grace of Gucci, go you.
