contemplating, purchased, lost, want



I found this vintage wool coat with fir trim in a thrift
store for $50 yesterday. I didn't buy it, I am still thinking
about it. I have lots of coats, but the colour is to-die-for.



During my four-week hibernation, I realsied I have
hardly any flats. So I grabbed these babies for $30
in total. The red were $10 and the black $20. I haven't
worn them yet, to be honest, I spent most of last week
bumming about in jeans, sneakers (trainers) and woollen
cardigans. Comfort dressing (as in comfort eating).



The above sunnies, my fav pair of Karen Walkers, were sadly
lost last Monday. *sobs* Somewhere between the bank and my
car, we were parted, when I retraced my steps, they were long gone.
Soooo....


... I am considering these honies. They have been around for years,
but I am still thinking about them. Is wine the right colour choice?

Other than that, I've turned off my phone, avoided Facebook,
stopped freaking out about not posting daily blog posts, walked
the pugs heaps, got a lot of beauty sleep, spoiled the cats with pats,
drank too much coffee, browsed real stores (as opposed to online),
wandered around thrift stores, read every fash mag, and generally
unwound. Now if only I could do something about the weather.

  6. Definitely buy that coat! The colour is fab. The wine sunnies are pretty classic... and its a bit more interesting than boring black.

  10. Oh please, that coat is awesome. YOu'll kick yourself if someone else snagged it!

    Buy those sunnies also, they will look amazing on you and the red will look great against your skin tone and nice dark hair.

    Boo to losing things!! I am paranoid about my sunnies, the only pair that are about $150 that I have ever owned, so don't want to lose, or scratch them!!

    Good Shopping!

  15. Someone explain to me why I wasn't following you!! How did that happen?! I could have sworn...

  16. Sorry to hear about your sunnies that is a bummer! I love the new ones you have picked out. I was realizing the same thing when looking through my shoes that I have hardly any cute flats so I have been buying some recently! I love that coat you didn't buy but $50 is a large purchase or at least in my opinion ;P

    Yeah I'm in the same shape as I was before I got pregnant except I've lost a lot of muscle since I haven't been working out and was sick at the beginning ;( I'm wanting to go back to the gym but have no motivation. My body type was a lot like yours though I had more of an hour glass figure 26 inch waist and big hips my husband loved my small waist but he loves my baby bump just as much and my bigger chest haha. I'm sure you will figure out what to do it's a bit frustrating at times but worth it in the end (:
