So unaccustomed am I to buying clothes en mass, however, that after my marathon shopping trip last week, which resulted in three dresses, three tops, two pairs of shoes, one necklace, and five vessels for my bountiful decolletage (hooray!), I was sure my credit card company was going to call in a panic. (They haven't yet, but if a %$&@ dollar surgery fee and a #$!# dollar shopping bill weren't suspicious enough, *$#& worth of charges in NYC next week might just be the tipping point.)
Now, for your viewing pleasure, I've put together a little something to illustrate what an abominable spendthrift I'm becoming:
From top left: The first time I saw this dress it was out of stock. The second time I saw this dress it was available, but I hesitated because I was unsure of what size to order. The third time I saw this dress (about 20 minutes ago) it was out of stock again. Somebody needs to put her game face on. (ModCloth)
I wasn't so reckless with this frock: I saw it in a catalog, I figured out my size, I ordered it. This
Oh shiny red shoes that-are-almost-of-flats-but-not-quite, how I covet thee! I just need someone to convince me that these lovelies (or any shoes for that matter) are worth $112. Anyone? Please? No? Didn't think so. (Zappos)
Now $29.99 is more like it! These shoes look silver in this picture, but real life they are taupe and very very tall. I've had mixed luck with Target shoes so I'm anxious to see if these work out. I'm also anxious to see how long it takes for me to topple out of them. (Target)

an explanation for the barrage of comments lately: the semester is over and i don't start my job until next week. all my friends are in summer school and my boyfriend works the night shift, so all i do is stalk blogs and read perezhilton for the time being.
and sarah, while those shoes are cute, they are NOT worth 112 dollars!! are you crazy!? have you ever heard of ebay you silly bean? i buy everything on there and i have soo much designer and name brand stuff that i paid a fraction of the price for. NEVER pay retail!!!!!

nordstrom sells them for 76 bucks though!
No explanation needed--I enjoy the comments. And I, too, stalk blogs (and Twitter and Facebook, ugh) all day and I don't even have the boredom excuse! (That's a lie actually--I do those things when I get bored of work, which is often and very very bad.)
I was actually thisclose to checking for those shoes on eBay, but then I worried that they wouldn't fit right or wouldn't look as nice in person and then would I be stuck? (This is the case every time I consider an eBay purchase.) Buuuut, what if I could try them on at Nordstrom and then shop eBay!? That might be a perfect solution.
I am sooooo excited for you!!! In July when Rachel and you have your first paychecks and Lauren is living in Dallas we should all go on a shopping spree for work clothes!! I love the clothes and shoes you picked! :-)
