Re: QOTD Thursday (Shopping)

  • I mentioned this in the bumps/babies post...   After the NT Scan I finally bought something for the baby, a completely overpriced (I'm actually embarassed how much this pillow cost), but I've been obsessed with it for over a year and swore if I ever got pregnant again I would treat myself to it and decorate the nursery around it....

    image

    I also went on a spree with Piperlime, Gap, and Old Navy on tuesday because they were having 20%, 20%, and 30% off respectively... (and Gap is having 30% today code GAPFRIENDS)... this was one of my purchases...

  • I can't even think of the last item I purchased for myself.  Yikes.  We've been holding off buying anything until we go back to the US in a few weeks.  I'm afraid I'm going to go a little crazy then, but it's just so much cheaper!

  • This dress:

    image

    I definitely didn't need it, but thought it would be great for holiday parties and whatnot.

  • That pillow is adorable, though. Your baby's nursery is going to be gorgeous!

    I went a little crazy with the LOFT/Ann Taylor 40% off deal. One of my impulse buys was this dress.

    And today I'm wearing this new necklace.

    ETA: Links instead. The pictures were going wonky on me.

  • I bought this great Calvin Klein dress that looks like a fall photo but blurry. It's really cool It came with a cool belt too. Alas I can't find a picture of it on the website. I haven't been buying myself anything since I've been dropping weight. I loved the dress though so I wanted to buy it and wear it to thanksgiving and everywhere else I can possibly wear it. :)

  • The last purchase I made for myself was hiring a painting company to come in and rip down our kitchen wallpaper and paint the 14' walls in the living room. That might sound like a purchase for the house and not myself, but it saved me hours of trouble, mess and back pain so it was definitely in my best interest!

  • I stocked up on makeup during Sephora's F&F sale.

    I also just ordered these wellies from Jcrew, and red fleece liners to go with them:

    image

    I'm hoping they can serve both as rain and snow boots, b/c all the snowboots I've seen so far are UGLY.

    I also ordered a couple pair of pants from JCrew, and this shirt after I saw Robin wearing it on HIMYM on Monday.  It was super cute on her:

  • Plane tickets to Vegas - does that count?  I very rarely buy anything for myself.  Oh, wait, two weeks ago I got two new pairs of flats at Loehman's.  I was so excited because I got both pairs for $57 when they would have cost $180.

    the second pair is like these, but not suede.  Ellen Tracy

  • Eek, it's been a really long time since I bought something for myself just as a treat. I don't know if this counts because I bought it out of necessity for nursing, but the last thing I bought for myself was this top from Old Navy.

  • The last thing I bought for myself was maternity pants.  ha!  Silly expanding waistline!

    The last thing that was a just for fun was probably my magnetic nail polish. 

    I do intend on being slightly silly at the VIB sale I'll be going to at Sephora this weekend.  Shhhh, don't tell Derek!

    We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

  • The last thing we bought was this bad boy

    image

    It was an amazon daily deal that we scooped up. Absolutely no necessity, but just fun for us. Early Christmas was the excuse.

  • I just bought an iPhone 4s.  I went on a total shopping spree when we were in Vegas at the end of September.  My favorite were these bad boys:

    image 

    I get tons of compliments on them, including from the male partners at my firm, which I will admit throws me off my game a bit.

  • I bought myself a new pair of jeans this past weekend. I really needed them as my pre pregnancy jeans are still way too tight in the hips.

    Circa Joan and David.  I bought them in a wine red color, but I think they also came in black.  They are super comfy too!

  • It sounds crazy, but we just bought a deep freezer yesterday. I've been wanting one for years, but just kept putting it off. I have to go pick it up next week. And the Jeep. That was a big one. And today Russ bought me a new stereo system for the Jeep. I've been getting a little spoiled lately. I also just bought some new winter boots from eBay and am still waiting for them to come in. Oh and new seat covers for the Jeep too. We've been kind of on a spending spree lately. Hopefully the next purchase will be a house :)

    Oh that is a purchase for you! Wall paper removal sucks! I've done it a few times and I hope to never do it again. :)
