why, j.crew, why?

Why do you tease me with your aesthetically-pleasing catalogues and rocket-high prices? Thanks to you, I’m dreaming of spring when it’s still 40 degrees outside and contemplating the practicality of a $200 pair of shoes...

... and layered sweaters in the Florida springtime.


And despite the number of jeans overflowing out of my closet, you have me dreaming of these little beauties:

If you weren't such a tease, I might at least consider investing in a pair of these (completely legitimate in my climate):

Or in one of these:


But I can't do it. Nope. I'm resisting your advances. Your prices are just too much for me. So I’ll just settle for taking a red Sharpie and circling everything I want for spring, then throwing out the marked-up catalogue in the spirit of a fashion purging.

Of course, I could try to find an outlet store…

Hmmmm Fashion purging. Quite a concept or just a new way of saying "I can't afford those ridiculously high prices." :)

P.s. In case you don't go back to see comments written on previous days. I love the new design ~ Good Job Jordan!

Sigh.... I know how you feel. For example, when I walk through Anthropology, I'm pretty sure I experience intense spiritual warfare.

I KNOW! That store is amazing, and I truly can't afford a single thing at that place, and it all makes me swoon!

I am totally in the same boat! I've been looking at J. Crew's website the past few days and drooling over their Spring dresses. I'm actually wondering if I can spend my money from the wedding account on dresses for my showers and such. That's a good justification!
