1: I have NOTHING to wear for winter. All my tops are thin and short sleeved *fail*

2: It is well past the time to get rid of some of this stuff!

I always mean to clean out my closet and ebay some shit, but I never do. It’s such a hassel. But I have a big pile of winter stuff to sell and I have an even larger stack of spring items. But I am wondering, is it worth off loading spring weight items now? I’m thinking it would be much better to wait until somewhere in Jan-March but I have no where to put this big stack of clothes until then! I guess I could move it to storage but I’ll have to buy a larger container to fit it all in, it’s over flowing right now.

I’m thinking Ebay instead of blog sale because I have a ton of stuff and want it all gone asap. J.Crew and Anthro mostly. Tops, skirts, jeans, shoes, jackets, and if I was really gonna get it together, jewelry.

What do you think? Ever ebay Spring clothing in Fall? Worth the time or no?

Also, I have some hemmed denim, AG, Citizens, Joes. Have you had any luck selling altered jeans?

199 of the best books ever written. Gorgeous! But $1313 and no way my 70% off coupon is going to work on that lol. Only……it never hurts to check.

Well I nearly fell out of my computer chair. They also offered free Express shipping. So all together I probably saved $1000. I wasn’t expecting to drop that kind of money on books but even DH who is not much of a reader insisted that it had to be done. When else will I have the opportunity to buy almost every piece of classic literature I could ever want for $1.97 each? Only down side, they are paperbacks not hardcover. But the great thing about paperback is you can throw them in your bag and have a great book at all times. Lets take a look at the books I have coming Thurs!

ANYWAY! Sorry to ramble about not so interesting stuff lol. In shopping news, I ordered the Gainsborough skirt this morning!! What a surprise to see it marked down so soon. I hope I love it as much as I remember! I also got the Climbing cowlneck tee in navy to go with it. I haven’t tired the cowlneck before but I sized up hoping for a relaxed fit since the skirt is very fitted. Has anyone tried this tee on? Was it sheer? I hope not!

I really wanted to get this to complete the outfit

But alas, the old paypal account was running a little low because I just ordered this over the weekend

Yes the day after my “I’m done with j.crew rant” I ordered from them again. I know, I suck. The crack is strong.

How was your weekend?? Any shopping?

Oh I almost forgot! UPS stopped by this afternoon with a box from Anthro! With dh’s name on it. *Rubs hands together in glee.* Could it be a ruffly trench perhaps??? If it’s a Gainsborough skirt I will feel really bad HA.
