damn Madewell

I've been to the store once and felt like I was entering an alternate universe where I was invisible. It was highly uncomfortable--plus, nothing fit.
Anyway, I got my awesome gold plated spike necklace there, and I love some of their new items...



Skydot matinee blouse ($115). I will have it!! Er...it's cute, I guess. Um. Everything I love in a blouse with the 3/4 sleeves. Delicious. Hope for a sale in a month or 2. Or maybe I'll just buy it after the shopping ban is over.



Trooper Jacket ($118). If it ever went on sale, I could use it to replace my beloved army jacket lost at Loma Linda all those years ago...

High riser jeans in eclipse wash ($98). Not sure how they would look on a fatso like me (i.e. anyone over size 6). Another humiliating trip to the shop in order?

ASOS skirts











ASOS mini prom dress $51.72. Too short, too cute.




Actually practical---ASOS WHITE calf midi skirt. $78 (in black and what they call "olive").



And now, for the impractical:
Whistle's print skirt ($160) of which I could find a similar version in a vintage store. And:



Whistles Esther Skater Skirt $215. Which is too short, too expensive (why so expensive?) and unnecessary. But very cutes.

Disafort, no picture of the ivory version (which I'd be getting) is available (i.e., too lazy to PhotoShop).



Also this dress is damn cute. On sale for $107.40

Or in polka dots! http://www.llbean.com/llbeansignature/llb/shop/65279?feat=65278-sigppxs&dds=y&subrnd=1

Probably not.



We'll see if my size is still in stock next month--when I can start shopping again.
