First, let me say that I abhor shopping. Clothes never fit right (too curvy and too short) and I hate spending money. However, today I went out on a mission to buy some boots and dressy shoes for work. Rack Room Shoes was not open yet when I got there so I went and killed some time at Ross’. I lost my heart to this measuring bowl set:
It’s pink! With flowers! And tiny! <3 They range in size from 1/8 cup to 2 cups.
Then I lucked out at Rack Room Shoes and found my dream boots: right below the knee, low heel, slim, with no decorations. They put me back a very worthwhile $30. I’m especially pleased that they’re pretty much the identical twins of my old boots which are falling apart after 8-9 years of wear.
I then found these babies for work:
You can’t really tell, but they’re embossed with crowns, a family crest, and who knows what else. My left foot is wider than my right so despite three other cute choices, these are the ones I had to settle on.
Finally, I found a 3.5 x 5″ journal set to fit into my purse for work. There are three books (ruled, blank, and grid) which will be perfect for working with websites and taking general notes! I’m so pleased that things went well. Yesterday I also purchased a peacoat online from Delias that I’ve been lusting after for a year. I wish it was gray to match my cloche hat, but this was the only one they had in my size left. I figure that with my tax refund, I should spruce up my closet a bit as I try to present a professional, mature image.

1. OMG those bowls are super cute!
2. I like those shoes they’re very nice, far away they look nice and professional but up close they have some spunk to them.
3. OMG I wish I could wear things from Delias…I’ve been lusting after that same coat as well.
It’s hard for me to spend money but when I get stuffs I love it make its easier to stomach.
