These are my new - expensive - black boots. It was a little anxiety-inspiring for me to buy these, but they're molto cute and I really like them.
Here are a couple other views of them.
This is my new off-white peacoat. Only 20 euro! Zara has some awesome sales.
This is the black peacoat I bought. It was more expensive, but exactly what I wanted, and really warm and comfortable. I haven't really needed the warm coat here in Rome though, it's been extremely pleasant and warm (quite the opposite of the uber snowstorm in Seattle!!).
I got these brown suede boots from Zara for 14 euro!! That's only about $20. They're surprisingly comfortable too, although I'm not going to even try wearing them around the cobblestoned streets of Rome.
These are the two new bras I got at Yamamay, which seemed to me like the Italian Victoria's Secret (except not quite as good). I did get them both for 20 euro though. Only about $26 altogether.
The next three sweaters I also got at Zara. They were each 15 euro.
I also got this scarf at Zara. Only 13 euro!
The next three shirts I got at a store called Habana, each for only 10 euro. As I said before, Saldi rocks.
These last three tank tops I also got at Zara (where else). The first two were only 4 euro each. That is a little over $5! The last one was only about 12 euro.
All the Italian women dress so nicely here, I constantly feel like a scrub. But I'm improving my wardrobe bit by bit! Next on my list is a cute gray or black skirt to go with my new coat and boots. Aunt Bat, aren't you proud? :)

OMG!!! I would go nuts. That white peacoat and black tank top are particularly dreamy! That black tank would look smokin' with some jeans tucked into those black boots--ciao wow babee! I wish I could hop on a plane right now. I know my adage is "fashion is where you find it" but that would be a bit ridiculous, no? I hope you are having fun AND oh yeah, learning some things besides the exchange rate of that fake euro-trash $$. Oops. A little un-pc of me. Today Clara and Olivia met the Indian Ambassador to the US in a ceremony downtown in which they escorted the Mayor and Ambassador to a statue of Ghandi (it was a dedication.) They did great, but they were really interested in the table of post-ceremony treats. Love you love love you!
so...... half my wardrobe is from zara (hey mexico) and oh my god it may be my favorite store in the history of life. btw i noticed one in vancouver, so...... once you get back and rich again, i call trip to CANADIA. ps.imissyou.
Interesting to know.
