Let's play WWBRND?

That's WhatWouldBRNestiesDo for the acronym challenged.

MrShoe's company gave him a little unexpected bonus and he graciously forked over $200 of it for me to spend on ME.  Help me decide how to spend it.

I initially was going to get some too-cool-for-school riding boots that I've been drooling over for the past year.  But of course I need some make-my-ass-hot skinny jeans to go with it.  Those 2 purchases will eat the entire $200 for sure.  Even though I know the boots will make me immensely happy, I'm having issue only getting 2 things with my loot when I know I could spend it "wisely".  And by wisely, I mean on a fine ass purse that zulily has on their site this morning (It's only ~$40).

I could also put some of it towards my much deserved spa day that I am planning after the semester is over.

Or I could use it to get some things for around the house that I've been wanting.

Help me!

  • Purse and spa day. The house hold things can be fit into the budget :) This is PLAY money for a reason

    Either the Gray Marie or the Black Diamond.  I can't decide.

  • Do you have money budgeted already for the spa day? So this would add an additional treatment? What type of jeans are you looking to get? I have a 40% off coupon to gap I can send you which could take the jeans down to $40, including tax. Can you find less expensive boots, or is there only 1 pair that fit the bill?

    I have a $100 GC to bumble lane that I've been saving so I was going to use that plus budget in some cash from our regular paychecks.

    No clue on the jeans; I was going to head to ATL or the AT outlet this weekend with my fingers crossed.  I have a coupon for both.  I heard through the grapevine that Old Navy has some decent ones as well.

    The boots that I want are $140.  I thought about finding some for closer to $100 but not unless I love them.

    Do you think it'll go over the shoulder though?  I LOVE the ruffles but it must fit over my shoulder.

  • I think you would be cutting it close...I love the daisy satchel but not the strap.

    Ditto.  If the hobo came in gray, my world would be perfect.

    I also like the Brown Ivanka.  But I'm afraid I'm not cool enough to pull off the flower.

  • I like that one too. But the Gun Metal is sold out

  • I'd do the boots/jeans combo. 

    The spa thing you already had planned to do before you knew about the bonus.  And the purse isn't that expensive, you could drop some hints to your DH to maybe let Santa bring it.

    And you've been wanting the boots for a while, I remember you mentioning them a while back.

    I do like this rationale. 

    Shoe, you really need to give full details when asking WWBRND. Had I known about GC, my answer would have been Christen's.

  • Boots/jeans combo.  You'll get more uses out of them than a one time spa treatment that you already have a gift card for.  As for the purse I agree that maybe you can drop hints for "Santa" to give it to you. 
  • Christen & bboe are wise.

    I swear I'm going to sleep in those boots when they are finally mine.
