It's funny - I find Escada almost all of the time!  Most of the time it's in really bad condition or has huge shoulder pads.  I actually don't find their suits all that great, so I'm surprised people pay so much for them.

This suit was nice though.  It would have been boring without the lace accents, but with them, it was too pretty to pass up.

I wasn't that crazy about the coat, but I wanted something from that designer.  Plus, I had already decided on the suit, and I couldn't get a discount unless I spent over $30!

The coat looks way better belted.  I didn't like it that much at first, but it's growing on me.  I suppose it's only good for days that are wet and warm, since it's so light it doesn't contribute much.

They had a half off sale today.  At first I didn't feel like coming, but now I'm glad I did.  I originally came for the Escada suit and the short pink dress in my other post - I really didn't think I'd find so much stuff!

Most of the stuff in this post is for work.  All of them are made of wool...the Escada is a wool/cashmere blend.  I don't know if that actual suit retailed for $2K, but most of their suits now retail for that much!

The poet blouse is so romantic!  I love the collar and all of the lace accents.
