blub.

terrible how it's gotten to be a once-a-week (saturday) post kind of a thingy around these parts but i'm going on the idea that:

1) somethin's better than nothin'

2) "A" is for effort

3) it's better late than never

i returned the coat from jcrew - it just didn't WOW me and for that price i really needed it to in order to justify the purchase, you know? in return though, i stopped by anthro yesterday and found this beaut on sale for just $70:

and since i've been wearing it i've recieved about 30 compliments! it's not very warm at all but it's almost constructed like a dress and has the loveliest details... 

the orange stitching goes great with my vintage orange gloves :)

this is a look a wore last weekend but neglected to photograph. we had a baby shower/brunch to attend at 11am and as i am tearing through my closet trying to put together something to wear at 10:45am p looked at me in complete desperation and confusion and said "can't you just wear an outfit that you've worn before and liked?!".... well, i guess i can. 

i thrifted this top months and months ago and never wore it until last weekend - i love it's fluttery sleeves and bow tie. 

after the shower we went to a craft bazaar which was a bit of a let-down for me personally seeing as how i was looking for a few gifts and most of the items were more expensive and not something i'd easily pick out for someone who isn't me.... thus i bought myself the following presents:

these chandeliers are super heavy but SO worth it!

meow.

now i'm in a funk because i really need to stop the spending (especially on myself) but all i want to do right now is go to the thrift! what to do? what to do?

details of outfit from above:

knit hat - H&M

vintage top - thrifted

mini - gap (had it for about 5 yrs and was 9 bucks!)

tights - thrifted (but new not used - ew.)

boots - gift from ellie (thrifted)

ring - F21

if i were to guesstimate the outfit total i would say = $25

can you tell i'm trying to justify going shopping again?!
