Love List: I’m Not Allowed to Buy Any of This Stuff Edition

Ok.  I’m well overdue for a love list, wouldn’t you say?  And before I get started I just wanted to let you all know that we are in the midst of what we call “financial lock-down” around here… which totally sucks.  Anyway, every January we have to put an end to the holiday extravaganza spending spree and launch into financial lock-down.  Which pretty much means no “unnecessary” spending.  No extravagant dinners, no more flats or jeans or cute tops for future possible events, no “I was bored so we went to Target and somehow spent 50 bucks on travel-sized products, toothbrushes and socks.”  Pretty much no fun at all.  Anyway, this is all of the stuff I’ve been drooling over for the past month and a half.

1. Ok.  So I never thought I’d want a pair of yellow shoes.  But seriously, I love these shoes so much and am hoping that Nine West or Jessica Simpson comes up with a cheaper version because $375 for a pair of yellow shoes is not going to go well with the finance committee.
2. I am all about short sleeved sweaters this time of year.  Especially this one and this one.
3. Or cute little jackets, like this.
4. But really, I can’t wait to be able to wear cute little dresses like this and this.  Or… this and this.
5. And of course when it gets much warmer (oh, say a month or so… around here) I’ll be wearing something like this… I hope.
6. I’m really into necklaces lately… chunky, long, and of course beads.  I loove beads.
7. But for now I’ll have to stick with my regular jeans and t-shirts… and I’ll dream about more jeans and t-shirts.
