Ohh... Anthropologie. How I love thee.

This is how I spend my down time...

1.) I will fill my "shopping cart" with everything I love in the catalog until the total is like $7,000 ... then I go back and meticulously decide what I can do without until the total is more like $1,000.

2.) I let it sit .... let me mind marinade it over .... get it down to about $500.

3.) I look at my bank statements, my checkbook, my bills (get it down to $200.)

Here's what I'm left with:

This cardigan ---


and these sandals ----


Now I'll wait another week or so ... debating the pros and cons.

I probably will never buy either of them ... but it's the HUNT. I think this is a bit of a look into my natural huntress state ... I am an Anthropologie woman. Hear me roar.

this is exactly what I do. I visit the anthropologie website almost daily and pretend to shop.

I love that shop so much. One of my best cocktail dresses came from there. I cannot wait until one day when I hit the lotto and can afford all their beautimous cardigans!

I totally agree! I keep all the catelogues for years and keep getting inspired for outfits from my own closet! Oh and last summer I bought one pair of Anthro sandals and wore them all summer! You will not regret it!!!!! I'm an Anthro women too :)

Yes right now I have 3 items in my shopping cart which are out of stock, but if they would miraculously be in stock they would be such a bargain. they have been there since before Christmas. Sigh!

Sweet Adeline said...

You are so funny, I thought I was the only one that did that!!!!

Ali said...

YES!

I saw those flats too and they are ADORABLE! Now if only I had money to afford all this stuff.... Haha:)

My other store that I am in love with is Forever21. I went there today and got a TON of stuff for $100... Can you really beat shirts for $3.00??? :)

graycat said...

Haha! I do the same exact thing- only I do it on Etsy! And also, more often, on bead supply websites. I don't even dare go clothes shopping...
