I've never been a huge shopping kind of girl. Wait. Scratch that. I have been. In high school when I wanted so badly to find my place and to make my "mark" with fashion. Then, yes, I was definitely really into shopping. The past few years I've slowed down a bit though, trying to make more of a statement with quality rather than with quantity.
This summer I've really cut down on the shopping and spending. I'm trying to save for lots of things more important than new shoes/clothes/accessories might be. And, overall, I've been successful. :)
I made it my goal to only buy WOW pieces. Clothes that would make me feel good in them, didn't cost a lot, and I knew would fit into my wardrobe. Oh. And they had to look damn good on me. ;) Otherwise I wouldn't even consider them.
I bought, in all, less than 20 things? More or less. I mean, I haven't counted or anything but I know it's around that number. And everything I bought was something that I could wear in the sweltering heat without layering (huge deal in Texas, HUGE) and something in a color that wouldn't absorb the sun's 'friendly' rays.
The pieces pictured here are some of my favorites that I bought this summer. Not pictured are some of the amazing shorts/shoes/purse/bathing suit that also found their ways into my life. But...you get the gist. ;)
Well, that's enough of that ramble! Did any of you all get anything extra special this summer? Or somethingS special? Not that I know anything about buying in bulk. ;)
Oh! I almost forgot! My sister Jessica told me today (after some quality facebook time) that apparently I am "the winky- face bandit". As in I use smiley/winking faces a LOT. Which, after looking back over this post I might just have to agree with. ;) <----Look! There it is again! Do any of you have that 'problem' too?
And now...I'm off to eat some more meltaway cookies that my sissies made just for me. Haha. Well, that's what I keep trying to convince them of anyways....
Song for the Day: King of Anything by Sara Bareilles. I love this one sooo much x a gazillion. It's stuck.in.my.head. For real. :) I woke up 'thinking' it.
Bye for now!
Happy Friday!!
