forgive me mother, for i have shopped

purchase post.

ugh. see. this is a confession. i fell off the not-buying wagon real bad the last month or so. i got excited cause i was actually doing well with my monies, and i had lots extra. and then i was online so much and there were so many great things. i fully admit that i have failed in my minimal-buying resolve.* along with the ipad case which i've already told you about, here's what else i bought online.

gap jeans that are oh so bright-yet-pale and springy. grey t-shirt which is comfy and casual.

blue plaid olden-timey bathing suit from modcloth.

and in real life, i got this red sweater because i love love love the way i look in red and it was on SALE*!

finally, this orange amazebox of a skirt from joe fresh, which, to be fair, i had every intention of buying from the moment i saw it on the runway. it is for marc&mel's wedding.

*the gap stuff was on sale. too. and i think it is fair to say that i am a sucker for a sale. yes. a sucker. a chump. for a sale.

i do have some purchaser shame for these things, but not remorse. they're all really great pieces, and the prices were good. i didn't need them. and thus the shame. the lack of willpower. the heavy sighs at having to disclose this all to you. i promise to be well behaved again. starting now.

and while we're talking purchases, i may as well cover some of the older purchases that i put off writing about cause they were kind of too boring for individual posts. these are from the last several months.

- a pair of navy leggings, and some socks (mostly grey) from the bay and h&m.
- that new iphone case you saw (did you? or was that just on twitter...) that is white with black instead of black with white to replace the broken one, as well as some earphones since margene had eaten both my old pairs.
- two used joan didion books. blue nights and miami.


*ha! i wrote this, actually, a while back, but took my time getting the pictures taken. (honestly, i'm pretty behind on this whole purchase thing.) and then today i was reading the very blog that gave me this idea, and look what happened to her, too! that makes me feel better. cause. ooooof.
