Recent Purchases?
It's been a while since we did this - anyone want to play?
Here are two of my faves (I also bought 4 cheapie pair of Payless shoes in preparation for warm weather):
(from Target)
(from Anthro's sale section)
I think I finally picked a dress for the wedding I'm attending in May (so no more posts about it!), though I'm ashamed to admit that I purchased 6 dresses for this event (and only returned one). To be fair, some I purchased for wedding/NYE, and we wound up not going out for NYE. Two have already gotten used for other purposes but I think Jeff and I need to start going out on fancy dates so I can get some use out of the others! I have to take one dress in to have the straps shortened, and for some reason I really suck at taking things to the tailor so who knows if that will happen.
Re: Recent Purchases?
Oooh we also bought a Calphalon grill pan with a Williams-Sonoma GC we found from the wedding. That was a nice surprise! We still have almost $75 on it, but nothing caught my eye online so maybe I'll browse around the store this weekend.
LOVE the shoes! Unfortunetly, I don't have anything to add.....
Thanks! You can put anything up there. If you want, you can pretend you bought this thing I bought yesterday for a shower:
Laura - I want those shoes AND that thing you bought for the baby shower even though I have no baby.
I'll try to post a picture later but the last thing I bought was a dress for Easter and then a shirt for going out Saturday. I'll try to find pics of them both and post them.
Will there be enough space to post all my pics? I went on a little binge last week:
From Lane Bryant:
Swimsuit (eek) in b/w polka dot--they don't sell them in store, no idea how it will look/fit/etc
Shrug in white
Seamless cami in purple
Cami in white
A bunch of panties--obsessed w/ boy shorts right now
heeled and sparkly flip flops in black
cork wedges in red patent (OMG, i cannot WAIT to wear these!)
from Old Navy:
Cowl neck top in white (kinda obsessed w/ white right now)
Grey lounge pants in tall (i heart u ON tall section)
Cropped cardi in navy blue
Also got some basic tees (white and aqua) and beater tanks (purple and white) in tall
And I just got an email from LB that crop pants are BOGO this week. Please....stop....me....from.....buying......more......
Fun stuff, ladies! Laura, that baby thing is adorable, with the little giraffe ear-like decoration part.
I finally found a pair of wedges, and am in serious lurve. It helps that Nordstrom had a 4.5 in stock!
ETA: Nordstrom is killing me! I saved and Tinypic'd the photo to message board size, and it's tiny. I totally fail at this.
Yay, I finally got it to work. Whew.
Brew, holy big haul! Love love love that bathing suit.
I forgot that I also finally ordered the Banana Republic classic trench that I've been wanting since last fall. I took advantage of the 30% off sale that they seem to be running constantly these days, and it'll finally arrive today after the free shipping gods took their time.
Not sure if the pic will work because it was a .gif, and looked weird when I selected from Tinypic, but here goes:
ETA: Tried again. Derr, I am the worst at this.
oh, oh, oh, I forgot something! I must have been having a "duh" moment!
I got 2 shirts at old navy last week.....but it's not posting my pic!!!!! hmph!
The baby bouncer thing is a group gift, I can't take all the credit (I did pick it out and buy it, but I'm only paying for 1/3 of it, in the end).
Brew - the bathing suit is HAWT and I love every single thing you got at ON. I also really love MushE's shoes - I'm obsessed with wedges right now because I can get some height AND wear them to work! 3 of the 4 Payless shoes I bought were wedges.
I choose the 320x240 for threads (and the smaller one for sig pics). If your picture is smaller than that, though, I don't think it makes it bigger.
I've actually been lazy and copying and pasting directly from retail websites. Working so far, sometimes I need to resize cuz they're huge.
I just ran and ordered some online! Thanks! I was looking at them on friday and thought "i should wait till they're on sale." didn't know it would be this soon!!
Thanks, ladies! I'll keep both of these in mind. I keep hearing about drag and drop, but can never get it to work. I'll try just C&P.
Also got some stuff last week for a one yr old
His mom is obsessed w/ plaid shorts. This pic shows the idea, but not what we got at all. We got black&white plaid shorts w/ a hot aqua shirt with headphones that said Turn Up the Volume. (DH used to spin, we thought it was an appropriate gift from Uncle Rob.) The babies r us site sux and I can't find pics of the airplane toy we got too.
Where did you find this? It would be a perfect gift for my bff's little boy.
It's from Babies 'R Us. It's by Carter's so you might be able to find it elsewhere.
I got a few gift cards for my birthday so I had to use them up. I still have $25 left for Target.
I went to Target last week to pick up this:
but then quickly realized I also needed this:
and then I decided WTH, I was going to treat myself and bought:
Then, my cheapy Payless wedges finally came in. (I ordered them online a while ago and did site to store shipping)
Edit: thats weird. I definitely saved the pic of the pink nail polish, not just the color sample. Oh well, you get the idea.

I really hate when nail polish looks like crap after you buy it. I tend to keep to the same palette (dark maroon) cuz I know it looks good, and am afraid to branch out. Can you return it?
And cute shoes!
OOH, so glad you waited! Please post pics, so I can live vicariously thru you. I'm not allowed to buy ANY pants, since I'm losing weight and who knows what size I'll be by the time the weather gets better.
