		<description><![CDATA[(This post first appeared on Skirt!) If husbands were shoes, I always thought I’d marry a stiletto. A stylish, beautiful stiletto of course, maybe a Manolo Blahnik or a Jimmy Choo. If I didn’t marry a stiletto I’d at least end up with a Prada pump. I imagined Mr. Right wearing a well-tailored suit to the office every day. He would work in the city in finance or law. On Friday nights we would open a bottle of red and order take-out from a Thai restaurant. But when it came time to settle down, I made a very different choice. The truth is I never even dated stilettos or pumps. They sounded great on paper, but in real life I was always attracted to loafers. If my husband was a shoe, he’d be a loafer &#8212; not a Gucci, not a J.P. Todd, but a Bass Weejun, to be exact. It turns out the Weejun is the perfect fit. Weejuns are classic like Levis, navy blazers and Timex watches. They have solid New England values. With a Bass Weejun, what you see is what you get. They are never pretentious and they don’t make other shoes feel bad about themselves. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like most born salespeople, I enjoy the hunt &#8212; even when it comes to shopping. I find the pursuit of the perfect black pump or patent tote bag immensely more satisfying than the actual purchase. This trait has served me well during a recession. Money is scarce, but I still need to dress for success. Luckily, I&#8217;ve been able to use my prospecting skills at thrift stores, consignment shops and on Ebay. And I&#8217;ve &#8220;closed&#8221; some incredible deals. I bought a Sonia Rykiel coat for $8, brand new Prada boots for $44, an Escada sweater for $4 and a vintage Douglas Stannard necklace for $29. Thrifty shopping requires a mix of luck and skill. As far as the luck, you&#8217;re on your own. But I can help with the skill. Here are my top ten tips for thrifting.  1) Shop frequently: Merchandise moves fast in thrift stores. Shops usually bring in new stock weekly. Find out when the new inventory arrives and try to visit the same day. 2) Be willing to leave empty handed: If you don’t find something you need or love, don&#8217;t buy. Remember, an acrylic sweater with appliqué flowers is always hideous &#8212; no matter how [...]]]></description>
