FALL WISH LIST

Yup, it's me again making a style post. I still find it rather humorous that I post about fashion at all. I love to shop and buy cute clothes/shoes/accessories, but fly out the door wearing jeans, a boyfriend T and my toms about 90% of the time. Oh, and add wet hair and no makeup to that hot look. I wish I was the girl who always leaves the house looking all put together, but I am not. Never haven been, never will be. So I guess this is my wish list for the 10% of my life I feel the need to look cute. :)

INSPIRATION:

BUY IT:

From top to bottom - left to right

cream sweater  |  tan cardigan  |  basic striped t

leopard belt  | mustard over-sized clutch  |   high ankle booties  |  sweater tights

pointy toed flats (animals print in my fav!)  |  low ankle booties  |  jack purcell tennies

AUGUST WISH LIST

Life on a budget. I know I have hit on this subject many times before. Budgeting is all about knowing where your money goes so you can put it where you want -- like spending less on clothes and golf so you can put money in your daughter's college fund. :) I guess that what budgeting means in our family at least.

Logan and I decided to both give ourselves a monthly budget to spend on whatever we want that is not considered a necessity. This way I can buy as many pairs of shoes as I want and he can order as many iphone/ipad gadgets as he wants and there is no arguing as long as we stay within the budget. Simple, right? So far, so good. I know our little personal budget system isn't rocket science, but it is new for us. Anyways, it has been kind of fun to plan out what I want to spend my budget on.  I know it is half way through the month, but here is my August wish list. Now, trust me, there is no way I could buy all of these items. Heck, I couldn't even buy the watch on my budget, but a girl can dream, right?! I could always find one similar for half the price. I have pretty decent competitive on-line shopping skills. ;)

I started with Pinterest and then found similar items online.  It kind of gets out my itch to shop for all these things, without actually buying all of them. Is that weird? maybe. :)
