Recent Purchases

I did some serious bank account damage last week. Between a trip to TJ Maxx, the Stella and Dot trunk show, and J. Crew's free shipping on any order, I was like a kid in a candy store.

Let's start at the beginning. I went to TJ Maxx on a mission to find some shoes. Of all the aspects of my wardrobe, I am most lacking in the shoe department. However, the selection that day was not quite what I was looking for. And then I found it. The Cole Haan bag that I had been lusting over for a year. On sale? Nope - marked down even further to clearance. Even better, its not that purple color in the photo, but actually oxblood, my fall color of choice. That purchase was a no brainer.

The Stella and Dot trunk show I wrote about last week was super fun and I bought that necklace above. Granted, it was a little bit more expensive than what I normally would pay for jewelry, but I felt slightly obligated to buy something since it was a trunk show at someone's house. So a little bit of guilt, mixed in with a cute necklace meant that I bought it. I've done worse.
