I Might Buy Something Today (+ Instagram Update)

in Life, Odds and Ends

1. I’m leaving for New York tomorrow morning. I’ll actually BE in New York for 36 hours. Way too short, if you ask me.

2. I’m filming some spring fashion and beauty segments, and I need to dress appropriately.

3. I’m probably going to buy something today. At J. Crew. Because I CAN’T CONTROL MYSELF.

4. But I’m going to be on film, people! Talking about spring! Shouldn’t this situation give me a No Shopping Challenge pardon or something? I didn’t buy anything new for last week’s style documentary, but this is too much!

5. I’m a loser void of any willpower, aren’t I?

What should I do? Stay strong or muster up something from my closet?

In the meantime, here are my recent photos from the Instagram Photo-a-Day Challenge.

    Is that a retro Fisher-Price record player or do they still make those?

    I say shop in your closet simply because I stopped into J Crew last night and while I did buy a sweater (to wear to work), there really wasn’t anything too lust worthy in the store. But if you do end up caving and purchasing something, please let us know what you ended up getting!

    Be strong so I know it’s possible for me too!

    Shop in the closet lady! You’ve got a lot to choose from. If you really feel the need to shop, why not buy something and donate to a woman’s shelter or single mom’s group. It would probably make someones year to get a brand new never worn item of clothing from J. Crew.

    Its truly depressing watching someone who has everything want more when others are in need and expect so little. Perhaps its the fashion/lifestyle blogging persona one must represent, perhaps its regional, perhaps its just an acquiring high.The previous commentator who said donating to a woman’s shelter is brilliant!

    Love that you’re doing the Instagram challenge, because I love seeing your lovely photographs daily. (Hope NYC is UH-mazing, even in its brevity!)

    Stick with the no shopping challenge. You have plenty of beautiful clothes to choose from, and no one who sees you on TV will know, or care, what you are wearing isn’t brand new. Think of it this way, it’s very European (or at least in Spain where I lived) to own just a few, high quality pieces and wear them over and over. No one bats an eye at wearing the same shirt in one week.
