Pre-season shopping and/or gear coveting

There's some really nice orange jackets this year that would look good with beige, but any bright color that you like would look nice with a neutral color like beige!

This TNF Freedom jacket is really cute. Not on sale and no I am not coveting because I have a similar TNF jacket, but thought I'd share this with other Divas. It also comes in blue/turquoise color scheme.

LOVE my Edens. Glad you found a deal!
TJ Maxx has some jackets and coats, but not much else. Amazingly enough, I've seen a small number of Patagonia things there! Got husband a Marmot down sweater there for $99. He was cold last year skiing, which is surprising considering I thought he had better chances of winning the Olympic downhill than I did of him getting cold. He should be set now. Lots of TNF there, and the manager said they'll be getting another shipment in. It's a big TNF year at TJM.
They had the O'Neill brand. Anybody know anything about it?

Just threw in the proverbial old towel and got a High Sierra backpack boot bag at STP, used 35% coupon. Like the one I currently have (Dakine) but frankly could use a bit more room.

After trashing AT LEAST 3 sets of ear buds last season, I'm hot for some Smith drop in headphones (bluetooth if Santa likes me) so I can walk, talk, ski and moonwalk while on the slopes this winter. I keep choking on the price tag though ($199 for bluetooth). That's a lot of moonwalking.

Wow, I didn't realize they were so much. How does the battery hold up in the cold, I wonder?

One of my friends and her hubby have them, and they ski all day with them. Haven't heard that battery life is an issue, but I can verify. The HUGE benefit to the Smith headphones is that they have a button attached to your helmet that you can "slap" with your mittens on to answer calls and change tunes. #firstworldproblems You can get the non-bluetooth ones for about about $50 retail (usually less at Backcountry.com; got them for my snowboarding son), but there are wires from the helmet to the iPhone, which is the major reason I destroyed three pairs of ear buds!

I am coveting a helmet. My old one (shown in the profile pic) has a few small dents in it and I really want a white helmet.

At yesterday's ski swap, I got a pair of K2 composite poles and a pair of Giro Siren rose lens goggles that fit really well with my helmet. I guess I know I'm a diva (not a bunny) because I have all kinds of great gear, none of it matches, and I paid half price or less on all of it.
Oh yay! And this is my 100th post here!

... I should switch off the internet on Sundays... just ordered a (nice and blue) down jacket and some merino stuff to fight the cold
Now I am still working out which skis must be ordered these days and which of my old skis will stay with me for the season....

You're welcome. Love helping other divas spend $ >
Where pre-season shopping goes, I *think* I’m almost in the opposite camp? It’s sell sell sell season. We just sold 6 pairs of skis, 2 pairs of pants, 1 jacket. Done>gone. Next sale is next Sat, and my list is up to 17 items (!). This one all soft goods, save a helmet and goggles. And my lime green pants > out the door. They fit, but I feel...downright ?stupid? when I wear them. Better suited to a young person.
Don’t cry for me, Argentina - the gear closet is still wildly full! I ventured into purple last season, first time. Moving a lot of blue out the door!

That is a great combination!
I finally have several jackets which are totally not black, so that's progress.
Have to lose some weight before I venture into not-black pants.

I have finally realized that is just not going to happen. So why wait? I'm trying real hard to be good between now and the Feb wedding and the scale refuses to cooperate. So screw it, orange pants it is!
