Slow my roll...

If you follow my Facebook page you probably saw that I shared this post from Man Repeller (one of my favorites, if you don't follow her you should!!!). The title of the post is 
Uh Oh: I Think I Buy Clothes Because I Like How They Look on Instagram
I admit it I am totally guilty of this, but it really got me thinking about how much Instagram influences our impulsive shopping and overspending habits. I know it does for me when I see something I love on Instagram I automatically google it, and often times buy it, when I probably
A. don't need it 
B. Will only wear it once or
C. Have something identical already in my closet.
 So, I've decided to try to train myself, when I see something on Insta, rather than being impulsive and hitting Buy It Now, I am going to try to simply gain inspiration from who and what I am looking at and then go into my own overstuffed closet and see what I already have that is similar. I am sure my husband is going to love this, if he sees my UPS guy one more time, he is going to shoot me. 
This of course doesn't mean I won't be buying anything, I'm not a saint, I am just hoping it will just slow my roll, and give me a reality check.
And I do have my eye on a few pieces for spring...

Sandal of the Season

If you are like me when you saw this sandal all over Instagram this past week, you knew you had to have them. I was so sad when I discovered they were Sold Out on Shopbop, but then super stoked when your friend discoveries that Bergdorfs has them...
They are sure to be The sandal of the season
