My take is that it isn't a gift is she is admiring it and you offer to buy it on the spot - that's a subsidy and could feel demeaning.
Rather than offer to buy it for her, take note of what it is and then buy her something similar some time later as a gift and on your own initiative. For example, she admires a grey pencil skirt on the way through Belk. Take note of size and color, embroidery, etc. Then, a few weeks later, go to...Dillards and find something similar and gift it.
