Shopping Diet

I decided on Saturday after purchasing this outfit that I'm putting myself on a shopping diet. I'm going to try for the next 6 months to go once, maybe twice a month. Because lets face it, when you go to a store, it's just too tempting to not buy something. It's very rare when I go to a store and don't find something I like. And let's be honest, I don't NEED anything. Of course it's fun to get new clothes, but I don't NEED them. So from now until March I'm only going to go to a store 1 or 2 a month. We'll see if I can do it.

Trench

I have never owned a trench coat because I thought that short girls couldn't pull them off.  Maybe I was right.  But I saw this one at Old Navy and thought, "What the heck, don't knock it til you try it."  So I'm trying out the trench look.  What do you think?

Scarf

It's scarf season! Well almost scarf season.

This day it was a little too early to wear the scarf, but I couldn't pass it up when I saw it at Nordstrom.

It's the perfect color and I can see it going with many of my fall/winter wardrobe.

Lashes

I have a thing for long eyelashes, who doesn't?

One of the cutest things about Nick are his eyelashes. One day I was on one side of him and I noticed how long and curly his eyelashes are. Like, he had just curled them, curly. Then later that day I was on the other side of him and noticed that that eye's lashes were stick straight. SO then I had to do a double take of the other side and they were still curly.

One side curly, one side straight.

We laugh about this a lot, how could one side be sooo curly and the other side soooo straight. Well the other day I walked into the bathroom and I find Nick with my eyelash curler curling his stick straight side. He looked at me like,

"What???"

"Um.... what are you doing?"

 "Welllllll.........I'm trying to make the other side curly too!"

Needless to say, it didn't work...

Which I'm kinda glad about because it's just one more thing about him that I find completely adorable.
