Busted!

I was stone-cold BUSTED breaking my month-long shopping ban last week. I ran into a reader at Anthro and I was standing in the checkout line with my arm full of skirts! LOL, I had an Anthro Shopping Relapse!

So...I guess I'm a weak soul and didn't last very long. And there's ZIPPY CHANCE I'm missing any opportunities from the big Tag Sale that will start tomorrow. So...May Shopping Ban? FAIL.

It's okay though, there was actually a month earlier in the year that I didn't shop, so maybe I still win? (Excuses, excuses). Anyway, I might as well share what I picked up (all different blue themes it appears):

  • A Navy Field Skirt (marked down to $19.95!)
  • A Fantastic Field Skirt

...and an Inkwell Skirt...which happens to be one of my new faves. I LOVE the poofiness of it! It's so adorable!

Cardigan: Anthropologie Blooming Lattice Cardigan, Blouse: Anthropologie Scalinata Top, Skirt: Anthropologie Inkwell Skirt, Shoes: Bare Traps
Feeling goofy after the Radio Show Broadcast. The Inkwell Skirt was an excuse to dust off the ole' Blooming Lattice Cardi, which I sometimes find a little too "cute" to wear for real. The navy accents in the skirt went perfectly with the cardi. I certainly felt dressed up, but totally comfortable. I didn't want to wear tights because it's MAY, alas...Boston is really cold and gloomy right now and the forecast doesn't look good either. I guess I will keep the faith, until the sun comes out again.

Tag Sale starts tomorrow...OH, the anticipation!!!!!

    I know, I can't take it! I actually came across one of your posts today about the Tracy Reese maxi dress. Did you ever order that? It looked crazy good on you.

    My ban included one snafoo, and the TAG SALE IS IT. Ahhhhhhhhhh, 3am please hurry.

    Oh gorgeous- I love your selections! I still have the inkwell skirt in my wishlist, but I hadn't seen anyone wearing it- I like it! Heh- I didn't join in the ban because I knew I would just rebel against it and buy even more!

    I have a serious issue, and am wondering if you can help. I just bought three beautiful anthro skirts. Can you help me choose between them, pleeeease? One is the inkwell that you are rocking in this very post! I feel that you must have a teeny-tinier waist than I do? Or something. Help!
