Wishlist

This is what I wish I had the money to buy. Unfortunately I dont...

And while I want to pretend/lie and say that I was able to hold true to my no shopping for a month, I failed....

It sucks. I was at the mall yesterday with my sister, and bought something...

I know I should be put in blogger jail.

But I got 4 basic Ts. Well technically 1 long sleeve, 1 T and 2 tanks. All in a simialr mustard/camel color scheme. I didnt spent much. It was at F21. and I think it was one of the best desicions I ever made. I can add these shirts to almost everything I already own, and it really up dates the look. So Im not sorry. At least I lasted 3 weeks!

 

Here are some looks that I wish I could be wearing this fall... If only I had a never ending budget.

Camel, Mustard, Burnt Orange and Wine are HUGE looks this fall and I cannot get enough of them. They are A.MAZ.ING.

Maroon 5

Boyfriend just bought tickets to the Maroon 5 concert that is in 2 weeks!!! IM SO EXCITED! Maroon 5 is one of my favorite bands (along with Death Cab for Cutie and Band of Skulls to name a few) and I've already seen them three times. The first time was way back in the day when they were opening for John Mayer! how crazy is that! This time they are comming with Train and Matt Nathansen. I love them. (Marry Me anyone??) So, naturally when I got the text from boyfriend that he got the tickets, I started thinking of the most important question, what to wear? This is what I want to wear, but since my big announcement in my last post, this will not be happening. But hopefully Ill be able to find something with the same feel in my closet. If you have any suggestions of what to wear to a concert that will be outdoors, at night in Houston TX with the heat and humidity, let me know!

What I Wish

Yesterday I decided to do something bold. I decided that I have lots of pretty clothes, and not enough time to wear them. I also came to the same realization that I do every two weeks: Im broke. So to kill to birds with one stone (METAPHOR! I would NEVER do that! comeon people!) I have decided that  I am not going to go shopping for a month. So boys and girls, that means that untill October 9th, (since I decided this yesterday) I will not buy ANYTHING - clarification- no clothes (new or used or online) no jewelry, no shoes, no purses. I am also going to try my hardest to not wear anything twice (except pants/shorts, because I dont have many of those). So I hope that you enjoy this little journey that I am taking. (PS- I totally plan on possibly buying something at Target on Tuesday- which Im not counting in my not buying rule. Its only for a limited time and Missoni. Missoni gets to break the rules.)

Also - Its September. In case you live under a rock. And in most places that means that the temperatures drop. I live in Texas. Its hot. Its still in the upper 90s.... It wont cool off here untill the  end of October maybe November. While would be awesome, except that I love cool weather! (NOT snowy icey weather) but cool, wear a sweater weather. And unfortunately we barely get that here. So untill then, here is what Im wishing I was able to wear 24/7. (This is also what I wish I could go buy! but because of the afor mentioned paragraph I cannot). Something comfy and easy, cuddled up on a couch reading a book and drinking a Pumpkin Spice Latte (Clarification: with pants on, and maybe boots. not in the fashion of Missus Emma Watson). Instead, Im still stuck with Iceed Coffees. Its still too dang hot for hot drinks. And that means that while most of you will post pictures of your adorable fall outfits, I will still be in summer gear, untill the temperatures cool down.

One pair of shoes....

okay... heres the truth, as much as I love high heels.... Im a flats girl... 9 out of 10 times Im going to choose flats. Dont get me wrong, I love how a heels look, I just feel more comfortable in flats, and usually Im always on the go, so I dont want to be falling over in heels all day (have I mentioned how clumsy I am??). So, I saw these adorable Kate Spade flats and immediately thought of 3 summer dress ideas for them. 

 

p.s.- how much does the blue dress remind you of T. Swift??

What Im Dreaming of for Fall....

All though it is the middle of July, and it never does get very cold here in Texas, Im still dreaming of lovely coats for this winter.... A girl can dream right??
I've been hitting up thrift stores for look-a-likes of these lively pieces to stock up on untill the weather is right.
Im loving motorcycle jackets, oversized blazers, and Warbler inspired schoolboy jackets.
