Looks I'm Loving Lately

That's a lot of Ls.

I'm loving the look of lace up wedge booties lately.

I already have 2 pairs of booties, but they are both tall so they cut my leg off and don't look cute with dresses and skirts, so I was pinteresting booties that were lower or had a dip and came across these styles, and fell in love. These Dolce Vita ones are super cute, and surprisingly cheap. And of course, Target has us covered with these beauties, but I love the colour of these ones from JC Penney. I will probably end up getting these ones from Amazon because they are the cheapest, and have great reviews (so many colours, too!).

I know I mentioned a plaid scarf last time, but I'm still loving them.

I really like the look of the old Zara scarf, which is of course long gone unless you want to pay $80 on eBay. The newer one was cute, just a little more red than I wanted and then it sold out anyway. Franish has been rocking this Target scarf which is pretty cheap and looks fabulous on her. This Forever 21 one is cute and super cheap, and I really like the colours of this infinity scarf. I spotted this Look By M one and did a double take because it looks so much like the Zara one, but it's an infinity scarf - still cute, just not what I'm after. There are a bunch of listings on eBay that are like a copy cat of the old Zara scarf, which is probably what I will end up buying because they have sold so many and have pretty good feedback (and so cheap).

I am really digging trench coats lately, but I really don't know if I would actually wear one. I get cold as soon as it gets under 80, so it wouldn't really help in keeping me as warm as a normal coat.

If I could just have Jessica Hart's everything, mmk thanks. For a coat, this Calvin Klein one is pretty reasonably priced, and this one from Gap looks good, I would just wait for a sale! I will never afford this Burberry one, but it is The Trench, am I right? Of course, I could always get an actual coat like this one from F21 or this one from Victoria Secret because they are the same colour, but thicker thus warmer.

Lastly, I am really liking the baseball tee. Jessica at LBG has posted about them a bunch, but I never really thought they were really 'me', and lets face it she'd look good in a garbage bag.

Then I kept seeing that first picture all over pinterest and I kept coming back to it. I would wear this outfit, wearing skinny jeans instead of boyfriend (personally).  This one from Gap is surprisingly cheap. I think I'll end up getting this one from American Eagle or this AEO one with the split neck. I like the plain ones, but this striped one from F21 is super cute. I think they are a good basic top, that you could really wear in all seasons, or at least 3 (not sure these are very Springy, but they'd look cute with shorts in Summer).

Anyway, this is what happens when I try and do 2 months without shopping, I spend too much time on Pinterest and have a list a mile long of what I want to buy. Truthfully, this shopping ban has really helped me realise what I want in my wardrobe and it is helping me make smarter decisions. If I am still thinking about things a month or two later, and I can see myself actually wearing them more than one way, I know they'll be better purchases than just randomly picking something up or impulse clicking. For example, I'm still thinking about the plaid scarf and still wanting this cardigan.

I have been reading a lot about capsule wardrobes and people trying to make more deliberate decisions when buying clothes, is that something you do, or are you more of an impulse shopper?
