What Momma don't know won't hurt her! I don't know why I'm quoting a lousy Adam Sandler movie, but you can do it! You’re so naughty!

What Momma don’t know won’t hurt her!

I don’t know why I’m quoting a lousy Adam Sandler movie, but you can do it!

Good thing my mom didn't have time to look at my shoe closet because that would most definitely have been Commandment Number One. And I would've already broken it; I got these great Valentino slingbacks at Saks today!!

Only one bag purchase for 14 months. I can't even fathom how one would do that. Best of luck! Wow! Only one bag purchase for 14 months.

I can’t even fathom how one would do that.

Best of luck!

I suppose you're bear free, but I wonder if this applies to other animals -- even mythical ones. (If the last part of that sentence is true, I dare not check the closets of the childhood homes of any women I know...unicorns aplenty, I am sure!)

She actually thought I could live with just one new purse over three whole seasons. My mom is one cruel mama. No, that wasn’t a typo!!

Have you been to see Mr. Bunn in Harlem, 135th and Adam Clayton Powell? He makes them to measure in the back of his shop. Since he hasn't been discovered yet, he's charging 1/2 to 1/3 of what a comparable Javits or Louise Green would go for. He's Jamaican, and tends to make a more spectacular hat by altering the silhouette rather than just piling on flowers, which works better for those of us under 60. Only 9 winter hats?

('06 is that a typo?) I've decided to put myself on a commandment list when it comes to shopping. But mine is no new handbags for a month. I tried it once and it didn't work (3 handbag purchases last week), but I mean it this time! Only 1 handbag purse until December ‘06! (’06 is that a typo?)

Guess she gets away with it because she has better closet space than I do. ;-) Poor fashionistas are always a worthwhile charity. :-) A rather telling postscript: My mom had to borrow a suitcase from me when she left New York City because she’d taken so many of my castoffs!

But if you ever want to donate to charity I can provide you with the name of a poor fashionista who would give all clothing the love it so rightly deserves :-) See I look forward to the day when I too will have an overstuffed closet that forces me to get rid of stuff.
