Damn you shopping bug!

I haven't had a lot of trouble resisting the urge to shop for large items [clothes, shoes] since the accessories I've gotten [scarves, belts] have really helped revitalize my closet. It also helps to leave half my wardrobe with Tazy so I always feel like I have new pieces in my closet when I swap things with her.

But I'm starting to desparately need shoes.

I destroyed all of my flats except my one pair.

Claudette Slingbacks

And my poor cowboy boots that I've always relied on are in need of repair. Which makes me want to break my no spending rule to buy these:

Marrs boots from Aldo

And to further my sudden shopping bug infection ... I can't stop looking at this:

So Happy It's Over

Saturday night's crazy wedding reception had its highs and lows. I'm just so glad it's over, and I can get back to real life and enjoying married life.

My masterpiece

While I'm waiting for Tazy to finally send me a clear picture of the scarf I made her, here is a peek into that secret project:

The pattern was really easy to make. I enjoyed the four days of working on it, and it really went by quickly and painlessly. I really love the color of the final product. I decided to go with Charcoal yarn, which goes with practically everything in my sister's closet.

Trying on some stuff for fun

 Decided to go to Anthro @ Rockefeller Center today to check out the sale. Ended up trying on some of the new dresses that came in.

Serengeti Sundress

Thought the dress was cute online, but definitely changed my mind once I was in the fitting room.

 

Oroya Dress

This dress would definitely be one that the Hubby would like since it does great things for my "assets" ... but I was very uncomfortable.

  

Swinging Sweetheart Dress

I tried this lovely on because it looks so parisian ... and I think Tazy would appreciate it. However, the pink top is very sheer, and I feel like it runs large.

Traced Twirls Dress

I'm a huge fan of any dress that looks like I could go swing dancing in it. I loved the pattern and the bodice, but I'm not to crazy about halter dresses. I did like the pink accent underneath.

Though I didn't buy any of these dresses, I did walk away with the three lovelies below for about $10 each. Yeay me!
