After coming back from the saddest loss ever, I needed to do something to pick up my spirits. And with the sun shining brightly outside, it was clear what I had to do: buy lots and lots of things. Only lots of designer duds could pull me out of the deep depression my little Spartans had thrust me into. And this is the result:
I love a good, belted shift dress. I think they really flatter my curvier frame. And the long stripe down the center will make me look taller and leaner. Now I just have to get working on toning up these arms....
Diane von Furstenberg, Sale $239 I was really taken with the idea of pairing this girly, flowered dress with my fiercely out there new L.A.M.B. sandals. Just maybe not for the baby shower I'm hosting next month...
Diane von Furstenberg, Sale $325 Eek, I should've probably cropped this photo. Oh well, this is what you get. So I am so incredibly in love with my black TB Revas that I just had to get another pair. This time I went for brown. See, I'm very practical. They are the perfect walking shoe and I wear them all the time. I'm so worried I'm just going to wear right through them, so I had to bring anothe pair into the mix.
Tory Burch, $195Yes, another photo that should've been cropped. Just be happy you're getting a post. I'm feeling the lazy daze of summer a few months too early and can't bring myself to do anything. Well, other than this shopping extravaganza. So, since I loved my TB flats, I thought it might be a good idea to try some TB sandals for when it gets hotter and I want something with an open toe. These were just too delightful to pass up. Here's hoping they're as comfy as the Revas.
Tory Burch, $195Okay, yes, so that was some serious damage I did in a matter of a few minutes, and probably more than my sadness warranted, but I'm perfectly happy to return anything that doesn't work out, and I'm pretty sure at least one of the two dresses is not going to work out. No idea why, just my gut feeling. We shall see.
And an embarassing little story to end this post. Well, as I said, my credit card has gotten a bit lazy since I haven't been using it at all in the last few months. After this little online shopping spree, the likes of which my credit card has definitely seen in non-frugal days gone by, I got a phone call from my credit card company's fraud protection services. I have never gotten a call from them before in my life. But this apparently was unusual activity and they wanted to confirm that I made all these purchases, which I made on 4 different websites, so I had to sit through 4 different prompts going "Your card has been charged X by X, if this is a purchase you have made, press 1." Almost embarassing, but mostly amusing. It's nice to know my card is looking out for me. Though I am concerned they didn't call me when I purchased tickets to Spain for much more than all these purchases combined. Maybe they just think I'm the hot international jet-setting type?
