I’ve bought a lot of thing recently. I mean a lot.
Everything is a bit hectic at the moment, and the fact that I’m not in a stable relationship makes me feel like I don’t have a base to lean on at the end of the day. … Hence, I shop.
From Mon Petit Coeur to the new iPhone (yes, I got it that weekend) to the massive amounts of clothes, my credit card number’s been flying all over the internets. And on this particularly hectic day (after a week of running to client meetings, making new business collateral and copious social activity + alcohol), I thought I’d share some of my treasures.
There are the dresses and jacket that arrived in the mail from Nordstroms today:



.
The best part? All the dresses were under $30!

I know this jacket might make me look a lot older. However, with my round and short frame, the jacket will probably look very short and hopefully a bit Jackie-O. If not, I heard Nordstrom has a great return policy.
.
Quickly moving on, here are my spoils from the Aldo sale (yes! I’m so all about sales right now. I’ve never been the thrift store type, both because the styles usually don’t fit my body shape and I don’t like wearing someone’s old clothes):
Both are incredibly comfortable, especially the Chilliwack (the patterned cloth flat on the bottom), which I’m currently wearing and totally loving.
.
At this point, you probably think I’m done… at least almost done. Well, you’d be down right wrong. I’m not even going to put pictures of the Stila lip glosses and eye shades that I bought. They’re from hautelook.com, which is one of my favorite sites right now. Go sign up for exclusive sales because they get sale items before they go out to the public. (Do me a favor and use birthofgaia@yahoo.com as your referrer.)
My most recent treasure from them is this beautiful pair of William Blast jeans. I LOVE them, although they’s a bit saggy around the hips. It’s nice that I probably *cross fingers* will never have to worry about getting a fat ass, but I do have to buy a belt because these pants keep falling off. Thankfully my gigantic thighs keep them in place so they don’t fall off completely (thanks, mom, for making me take 6 years of ballet). A note on the price: I TOTALLY got this for $100 from $300. Yes!

.
Barring the three tops and two pairs of jeans I got from the LuckyBrandJeans sale, I’m pretty much done.
I feel like a huge weight’s just been lifted off me from saying all of that. I can’t wait to go home tonight and try it all on. If I look decent enough, I’ll even post pictures.

Thanks for the comment. I love my new dresses. It’d go perfect with one of your sparkley watches.
Glad you enjoy the blog, Aaron.
