do i need this? do i need this?! (and other shopping lamentations)

This weekend marked the beginning of the annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! a.k.a. the most wonderful time of the year. My mom and sister actually went the weekend before with an early invitation, but I wasn't able to go with them. So out of the goodness of their hearts, they dragged themselves back with me. HA! They were so excited. The best part about the sale is that everything is brand new fall/winter stuff, so in a few weeks it goes back to full price, and you're not just buying last seasons has-beens. (Although I am also a fan of those sales.) Wow, who knew I could talk about this topic for this many sentences? 

Anyway. We shopped till we dropped. And when we dropped, we meandered over to the little cafe inside of Nordstrom and ordered our signature lemonade and sweet potato fries. Seriously their lemonade rivals Chic-fil-a, and if you know me at all, you know I crave me some chic-fil-a lemonade on a daily basis. (don't feel bad if you didn't know this about me. i actually don't throw it out there that much. so, now you know.)

^^^ And these are some photos of me in clothes. The first because I was deciding if I wanted to take the plunge and buy leather-looking leggings. Apparently I did! And the second because, aren't there just days in your life when you look at yourself in the mirror and say, "dang! I got dressed today!"

p.s. still selling those clothes! take a peek. a lot have sold already, which is making me feel a lot better about trying to get people to give me money for my neglected belongings. but seriously, check it out.
