The deets: J.Crew chambray shirt and skirt; Banana Republic boots; Michal Kors watch; Urban Outfitters shades; Lancome Midnight Rose lipstick.
I need to make a confession here. Today I made great strides. I popped into J.Crew after brunch with the ladies (which I DO NOT suggest doing whilst on a shopping diet) and locked eyes with this beauty. I even went as far as trying. it. on. and I became intoxicated with it's fresh white cotton-y, polka-dotted, twirly skirt deliciousness and came oh so close to making the purchase.. but then I thought about how I didn't want to let you guys down so I stayed strong and didn't do it. This is HUGE people. Huge.
I can't see the link of what you turned down but whatever it is, well done!! That does take serious will power. I'd have probably failed or got someone else to buy it for me and told them I'll give them the money and get the item after my shopping diet was finished! haha!
ReplyDeleteVery cute outfit btw, I think you've inspired me to look out for a denim shirt, you make it look so cute and cool too!

wow. that IS huge! congratulations are certainly in order!!! also, how do you like your chambray shirt?? I have one from express, but i know the j.crew one is like, the ultimate. is it worth it??
ReplyDeleteCupcakesOMG!
YES! I waited a month for it because it was back ordered because I found the texture/color/wash/pockets to be just what I was looking for so well worth it!
DeleteWay to hold back. That dress is really adorable. But just think, if you wait, it might be cheaper by the time you are shopping again!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is pure magic, and I am SO impressed by your will power! I'm going to start my 30x30 in 1 week and you are totally inspiring me! Virtual pat on the back to you! High five! :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!! I am getting to the point where I am ready to be done with it!
Deleteway to go dear! :)
