Details of My Newport News & Spiegel Shopping Spree: Unexpected Style

Published 12.18.2011 | By sms

I recently bought a couple of fox fur collars and I decided I needed a couple of crop jackets to go with. At least that’s my story of how this mini spree got started and I’m sticking with it.

I haven’t shopped at Newport News nor Spiegel for years. When I received email saying both were having 50% off sales I figured it wouldn’t hurt to take a look. I was actually pretty shocked to see how stylish their clothes have gotten. They’ve also certainly upped the quality of their clothing since I last visited, as well as the textiles they use including such luxuries as silk and cashmere. Unfortunately with style and quality comes price and their “regular prices” are no longer the bargain they once were, but with a 50% discount I can’t complain.

So here’s the entire contents of my fashion shopping spree. The duplicates aren’t a mistake, I tend to buy things I like in a couple colors if I can’t make up my mind which I like best. I spent right around $1K and as you can see I got a *ton* of goodies for my dollar, and there are even a couple items missing that I couldn’t get accurate photos of. Of course a third of the order will probably go back because what looks good on a 6′ size 2 model doesn’t necessarily look good on a buxom 5′ 1″ jewelry artist, but hopefully I’ll end up with some great fashion at a bargain once all is said and done (oh pleasepleaseplease let that at least include the pink suede and dove leather jackets, the big cozy grey sweater, and the Chanel “inspired” jacket!)
