Home again, home again, jiggety-jog!

I went home this weekend and took advantage of Bank of Mom. On Saturday we went to the outlets in Cabazon. I got a pair of AG dark wash, straight leg jeans, two Calvin Klein bras and a black sheath from Theory. On Sunday before I went to the airport, we dropped by Anthropologie and I picked up two shirts on sale. I also tried on a couple of dresses that I really liked so I'll be watching those to see if they go on sale.

Ruffles and glitz, oh my!


I went to Anthropologie today to return the shirtdress I had ordered online. Of course, I couldn't just leave without checking out what was new in stock. Boy was that a bad idea! I (un)fortunately found two items that I am in love with. The first is the perfect pair of Sevens. I have a problem finding jeans but Sevens usually fit. These are the perfect bootcut, uniformly darkwash jean. They are incredibly flattering and also over $150. Ugh. Sadly, they a steal compared to the other item I'm now lusting for. This Manoush coat is undeniably stunning in person. The ruffles aren't overwhelming and the buttons shine perfectly. At the high price of $350, it also costs more than my paycheck. I will pray that it goes on sale but I just might be crazy enough to buy it at full price. Eeks!

Luckily, I did find something I could actually afford. It's no longer online but it's an adorable trapeze dress that I admired when it was $200 and again when it was $70 and now it is mine for $54. Score!
