{Two quick shots of the garland on my my desk}
Hi sweets! I thought it would be fun to show a few of the happy things I've purchased recently. I'm on a pretty strict budget (especially when it comes to buying things for myself), but these things were just too good to pass up.
Firstly, I've become completely obsessed with this little bundle of tinsel garland that I picked up at Target a few weeks ago (it is only available in stores sadly). It has such a great vintage look to it in person, and the tiny size is just the cutest thing. I think I bought them out at one of our local stores!
Next, I finally broke down and bought myself a warm winter jacket (cozy all the way down to -25°). I feel a bit silly after all my grand talk about finding a super stylish coat (you all had the best recommendations - thank you so much)...but I wound up going for comfort in the long run. Who knows, my birthday is coming up, so maybe a fashionable coat isn't too far out of the question just yet. Then I finally found my perfect red nail polish after my hunt last week. The color is OPI "Color So Hot it Berns." I'm hooked. And lastly I picked up this checkered dress on sale at Old Navy. I know...I don't wear dresses, but It looked so cute tucked into jeans like a shirt and layered under a cardigan I had to buy it anyhow. I just have to shorten it a tad, sew a new hem, and presto-change-o, I have a fun checkered top for layering this Winter.
Have you had any fun shopping adventures recently (for yourself)? What's topping your wish list? My top three hopefuls are: 1. a new couch (desperately needed en mi casa), 2. fashionable coat (this one is still a serious contender), 3. amazing black boots (sigh). xo Ez
