Shop, drop and roll.

First sweater available here. Second sweater available here. 

Excuse the corny post title. It seems I'm full of corn lately

(both literally and figuratively, actually...it's the end of corn on the cob season

so I've been eating it with pretty much every single meal).

But, I digress.

Corny titles aside, I've been itching to shop lately.

This happens to me (and every other woman on the planet, I assume) with every new season,

and since the first day of September I've been compiling a wish list of all things fall fashion.

Somehow, I managed to hold out until yesterday, when I stormed the mall,

wish list in hand, ready to conquer. 

But, man, it just wasn't quite my shopping day.

Don't you hate it when you have the time and energy (and funds...those are helpful, too)

to shop but you don't feel like digging to find what you're looking for 

or everything you come across seems either not quite right or a little too expensive?

That's how I felt. 

I found a few things (and I also managed to get lost inside the mall...

in my defense, it's gigantic). And then I went home and I eBayed some things

(I did not get lost on eBay...that would be really awkward). 

I think the real problem is that when I plan my wardrobe wish lists,

I always have a very specific item in mind, either one I've seen on someone else

or one I've created in my mind, and if I can't find something that matches

my expectations EXACTLY, I get discouraged. And then I buy nothing.

Bad for my closet, good for my wallet.

But, alas, my fall wardrobe is off to a start. 

And it's off to a savvy start, at that. Just check out this adorable sweater I fell in love with
on Pinterest...and the awfully similar sweater I found on eBay
for considerably less money. I know, I know, I'm so thrifty sometimes.
