necessary purchase #1
Ok, I caved. But before I tell you about that, here are some pictures from the weekend. We spent the weekend doing some errands, trying out Chedd’s and Taco More, dog training, partying on 6th for a friend’s birthday and at my parents’ for Sunday Dinner:
Training at Town Lake:
Sunglasses, Marc by Marc Jacobs, $98
Took these pictures outside Flower Child, where I’m doing some marketing and image consulting. Love the mural!
Whole outfit cost $6.00! This romper was $2.00. Yes, $2.00. I bought this last week prior to the ban (see what I mean about having clothes I haven’t worn?). It’s from Kohl’s where it was on sale for $7, then I used a $5 off anything coupon (which Bear discovered we could get for signing up on the email list). Then my mom used a 20% coupon as well. Course then she paid for it with so technically it was a gift but whatevs. $2.00! I’ve been wanting one all summer. The frog belt was a buck at a garage sale and shoes were $3 at another garage sale. Whoo!
I know I recently wore the top (OK, earlier this week, don’t judge); Shorts from Old Navy; Shoes were from a Savers-like-but-cheaper store in Houston called the Sand Dollar and only $2; Clutch is old-school Charlotte Russe; Bracelets $5 a piece from Le Tigre Outlet; Rings from Aldo (never buy gold jewelry from there, never stays gold).
(And yes, I know my eye looks weird – it’s my bionic eye. No seriously, that’s a fake lens you’re seeing. Maybe one day I’ll regale you with the stories of my many eye surgeries. Maybe. Maybe not.)
Now for my Necessary Purchase #1:
I texted Elia frantically about a $1.00 resale store sale I was trying to resist (and did, huzzah!) but then later I realized I was wearing heels and I had to go train doggies. But then I thought, tax-free weekend! And I could really go for some red Tom’s which I have been craving forever and are obviously never on sale. Elia gave me the green light. It was just meant to be.

No judgment here because you look adorable!
whoo! thanks for justifyin me ladies.
The Tom’s were a smart buy, girl! I’ve been wanting some myself but haven’t given in yet. However, I saw someone wearing a pair of oxford type Tom’s the other day and it was LUST.
Ya know…when you buy a pair of Tom’s they also donate a pair so technically you could say that you still have all of your splurge’s left. (I’ve gotten quite good at rationalizing shoe purchases.)
that’s totally how i rationalized it to the boy and to Elia, my shopping ban partner. plus, hello! tax-free! best time to buy.
Those Toms are wonderful!
When you told me about the shopping ban, I was like, I could NEVER do that, but hearing about your five allowable items, it seems like insurance!
