Let's Go Shopping!

[ColbertWatcher]

You have a budget of $100,000* and you have to spend it in an afternoon.

Go to Neiman Marcus and Sax Fifth Avenue and knock yourself out!

Post what you would buy on your dream RNC Shopping Spree!

RULES

> you are not shopping for Palin (although, if you want to you can, you just don't have to)
> you are shopping with the RNC's imaginary budget for VP's $100,000*
> try to put your entire shopping cart in one post!
> please post links, prices and if you want, pictures!

Let's go shopping DU!


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Yes, yes, I know the number is $150,000, but some of it was spent on makeup, and some of that was probably spent on security, or transportation, so I lopped off $50k in an attempt to be "fair."

1. I spent ten minutes perusing the Neiman Marcus site, and only racked up about $5000.

I got bored really fast - I would make a terrible vice president!

2. I would pay off my kids' student loans

and put the rest toward our mortgage.

i was actually thinking of saving to buy one but it doesn't seem right to spend so much on a coat when i live in southern california.

[GinaMaria]

26. If I had the option

I would buy vintage Chanel. I'd try for a bit of a Jackie O look with some modern touches. A hat for every outfit.

[a la izquierda]

29. I have $90K of student loans...
