My husband is great with numbers. Me? Let’s just say I have different skills. However, when it comes to finding a “deal”…I can blow all of you out of the water. You see, I am the QUEEN of the DEAL and I apply “Jamie Math” to every purchase that I make.
Take these boots for example:
I got these Manolo Blahnik boots for $650. Yep $650. Purchased from my girlfriend who just simply ordered herself the incorrect size and did not return them. Never worn. She also spent nearly 2 and 1/2 times the amount on these boots than I did. I’ve had these boots for years and I rock them every fall and winter season. Pennies on the dollar, according to MY math – plus, I needed them.
“$650 for a pair of boots???” my husband freaked all out asked. (Ok – do the words Manolo Blahnik mean anything to you? Additionally, I do contribute to the household income, you know. But perhaps most importantly…did he not realize the deal that I got for US?)
I call this Good Math … “Jamie Math.” I’m always looking for a deal and/or how I can make something for less. Such as this outfit:
ENTIRE outfit– under $100.00 (excluding earrings and ring)
I spent $35 on my purse – similar & similar ||| $24 on my pants – similar ||| $0 on my shoes – a gift, but I thought the shoes needed something so I embellished the heels. Learn how to create your own version of Miu Miu shoes here. ||| $32 on the jacket.
Listen, this jacket is super cute…apply my math and you won’t even give it a second thought.
Now… WHO wants me on their math team?
Scary when you need something !!
not when you apply my math to it!
I WANT YOU ON MY MATH TEAM! Hmmmm, I wonder where you got this marvelous talent???
Good genes!
Jamie – Your math makes good fashion sense. Whenever I buy something expensive, I just calculate how many wearings I will get out of it and divide that number by the total price. The price-per-wearing is what counts.
Totally!

ok, so this entire want and need discussion, changes as we age right.. “I need to look good, so I want those boots” or vice versa ” I want to look good, so I need those boots” nuff said. Jamie, can I still get away with the 501 button up levis?? if they’re faded and my rear end looks like Goldie Hawns? 🙂
Yes- the last comment was the decision maker!
HEY…..remember me ? We were in the same math class!!!! I save us so much $$$ with every purchase I make!!! Why can’t our husbands see that !!
Love the boots!! Wonder if they would fit me?
Ok ok… you could give me a run for my money. No way will the boots fit you.
This is valuable information…
It is, girl…it is.
You’re our New Mexico rock star!!
Love your style!
But most of all I like how you can justify buying something fab for your wardrobe ! Very creative .
Keep on Rockn !!!
My math equation…
Woman in awesome clothes and accessories + Man in fancy car = one hot looking, fun couple. It adds up perfectly! We are just fulfilling our half of the perfect 10 couple. HIGH FIVE!
You are killin’ me!
