A girl can dream, right?



Well, dear blog, it looks like I didn't abandon you after all. I have to apologize for my absence. I really have no good excuse other than my busy schedule and the lack of interesting occurrences in my life lately. But tonight I found something I can safely say is blog-worthy.

Because of the state of my current funds, I really haven't bought anything but food and gas lately. I thought the lack of new clothes would get to me, but truly, I've been doing fine. I had found that as long as I didn't tempt myself, I didn't have any desire to go shopping. I was becoming satisfied with what I have, which is something I've been striving for.

But then I HAD to look at Anthropologie's spring stuff.

As I looked through these dresses, I began to have fantasies of living the life of an Anthropologie Girl. Is it so wrong to want that kind of sickeningly sweet lifestyle?

I could sip lemonade on the porch, wear this cute dress, and love life. For Easter, I'd show up for church in this adorable thing. In the summer, I would ride my bike, with an incredibly chic hairstyle, might I add, while wearing this. For those times I happen to be in Brazil, and I need something to go dancing in with my gorgeous foreign boyfriend, I would whip out this little number. When I go to New York City for a fun and spontaneous week with my girlfriends, I'd wear this dress when we go out to eat after walking through Central Park. I would lounge by the pool at my country home, making martinis while my hot, Jon Hamm-looking husband barbeques, in this.

Can't I do that? Can't my bank account somehow make room for that kind of life? Won't the universe give me that???


It's not safe to digitally window shop when I have so little money. It wreaks havoc on my sanity.
