wish list

I love buying stuff. But I have to be careful. My husband is a frugal accountant. I would love to go on a giant shopping spree once a season and buy whatever I wanted and then wait until the next season to buy again. Instead, I must buy something here and something there, little things at a time so he never notices a large dent in our account. If I could have my spree, here are the fall ’09 items I would quickly pick up:

I have a slight obsession with gray pants. I love a light pattern, too. All in all, these are perfect. 215 Martin grey pinstriped trouser at Banana Republic.

MAXSTUDIO ‘Hooper’ Bootie

Nordstrom ‘Eyelash’ Tissue-Weight Two Tone Cashmere Wrap

Printed Kelsey ruffle top at J. Crew

Scoopneck Tunic at Ann Taylor Loft

Braided Chain Necklace by Guess

Of course I’d wear a shirt underneath it. VIA Button up trench coat at Victoria’s Secret

We all know I have a jeans fetish. 7 For All Mankind® A-Pocket Stretch Jeans from Nordstrom

That was my wish list. Here is what I’ve actually bought this fall:

Red by Marc Ecko Handbag, Hold On Trapunto Tote from Macy’s

(audible sigh)

At least the cashier told me teal was “the color this Fall.” She made me feel a tiny bit better about the single bag hanging from my arm.
