Okay so I've been known to live a little... Let's just say I lived a lot --over the weekend when I went shopping... dare I say twice. These are the results... the good, the bad, and the super ugly. I'm starting with the clothing items I purchased, which were all under five bucks and that turned out to be good. Now what can cover the body, any part of the body for less than five bucks? The answer is... almost out of season... but still useful... red tag accessories like...
- a crocheted scarf
- with matching hat
- a second cute cap
- and a floral umbrella (so parasol--ish that no girl with a french manicure could resist. ) Let me just justify this seemingly frivolous purchase for a second. Number one, I don't have an umbrella and even if I do, I can't find it. Two, I know it's the middle of winter... but if those darn groundhogs are right, then I am indeed being super duper prepared, and for once planning well ahead. No more procrastinating for me ... or is that prognosticating?
And yes all items totaled a little over twenty bucks (tax included).... but I figure that's the price of one as yet unworn shirt hanging around in my closet... with tags. I've so resolved to shop way less... so for me to dissuade myself from buying that foxy blue coat or the antique lamp... or talk myself out of the spa essentials is indeed very good.
One other item I bought was a book entitled Pottery Barn Bedrooms for $14.95. It was ten dollars below list price and believe me I've been known to pay a lot more than that for a book... but I'll save that little tidbit for tomorrow... in part 2 entitled "Bad Girl."
Love the sketches. They're wonderful!

ha, i saw the comment you posted on my blog that you went shopping :) At least you got some good deals! (thats always what I tell myself)
Oooh, and I decided to start my own 200 things list...I thought it would be a lot easier but so far I've only gotten rid of 9 things (to be posted later)....

Tomorrow I'm posting my similar "good deal" logic.
And it is so hard to part with the things... even the useless ones!
