sale shopping to keep me sane

I'll be honest, I'm more of a September Back-to-School mom, then a let's spend the day at the pool, Summer mom... I need retail therapy to see me through these months of drippy popsicles, dirty feet and brothers who bicker.

sale buys

Fashion Trends & Styles - Polyvore

I bought the Lemon Chiffon blouse really impulsively, and then quick went to Polyvore to justify it's impending shipment to my closet. Now I'm not sure how I was ever going to live without it?

I know I'm commenting again for the wrong day, but I wanted to tell you that I weirdly appreciated your sharing your unhappy experience at JCrew the other day. It happens to all of us sometimes, and it's a little hard not to feel like it's your own fault, even though you know that's silly and that only mean people would act that way for no reason. So hearing about it happening to someone else, who clearly had not done the slightest thing on earth to deserve it, is a reminder that it's just mean people being mean. Thanks.

Ack! It was so hard not shopping today. I love your outfit sets. Yay! A new way to wear my heat wave shorts :) Thanks!

Beth - thank you so much for your thoughtful words. I hate when people make you feel crummy...

Cat - too funny, that first Polyvore is actually just a group of the things I bought yesterday, but you're right- you probably could throw the Summer Wandering Tank on with those shorts too!

Yay, another Heatwave shorts person!

The ivory plaid ones were surprisingly versatile for me, and are so easy - all you need is a simple tee with it and suddenly I've got an outfit!

Great sales choices.

Clothes are much less expensive than therapists, they say. ;) Of course, "they" have never watched me shop...
