Looking at fashion icons i love who have/had great style and really expensive things that I love, but can't afford yet. And then I made the decision that I was going to shop less and buy nicer things when I do shop. So far it's working, but it's hard!<br />Great seeing you today too!!!AsianCajuns (Lar)http://www.asiancajuns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241369117108101089.post-65443017209202285312010-07-01T13:44:32.344-04:002010-07-01T13:44:32.344-04:00You two totally remind me of me and my sissy.

I love your outfit and am hoping I have a few pieces I can dig up to create a similar look. <br /><br />As a few others have said, you can totally just sell 99% of those things to me. I have tons of items that I don't wear enough, but generally with Anthro items I leave the tags on until I wear it. If I notice I'm not wearing it, due to the glory of the Anthro card I just return them (sometimes 6 months later) for a full-price refund.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653344327714643606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241369117108101089.post-52666244818150416162010-06-30T15:15:44.356-04:002010-06-30T15:15:44.356-04:00oh my, please put some of those things for sale on...oh my, please put some of those things for sale on your blog!<br />My rule is that if I buy something and don't wear it for 2-3 weeks, it goes back.

I like the idea of trying a piece on and asking yourself if you'd "purchase" this item and seeing if your mind has changed a since you originally got the item (especially if you haven't worn it yet!)Lisa - respect the shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271991199812031360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241369117108101089.post-86013768644759755662010-06-30T13:20:28.199-04:002010-06-30T13:20:28.199-04:00that blouse is spectacular!

It's mainly because of this reason that I have yet to touch too much of what I've bought at Anthro...When I was younger I would always try to borrow clothes from my older sister but she would refuse claiming that I would lose/ruin them, which unfortunately proved true a few times I ultimately 'borrowed' the item w/o her knowing. This is probably why I'm so paranoid about my clothes ten years later... <br />I need to avoid buying things that are inherently delicate like the Florid Facade Top which I really should return. I'm moving as well at the end of the month to a location that's hours away from the nearest Anthro so I'm going through a purge as well. It's so easy to fall into that collecting mindset with how unique and lovely Anthro pieces are, but I'm finding that there are some items in my closet that I no longer really love and do not meet my versatility needs. I'm learning that if I'm considering an item, it's probably a sign just to let it go and save that money towards something that I know I'll love and use. This probably borders on obsession but I like to find all the negatives about the item I'm considering and write down what's wrong with the it, why I returned it and why I don't need it, so I have something to reassure myself when I look back and wonder why I returned the item (usually I just forget about it though!). I figure it's better for me to err on the side of having the money and not the item, there'll always be something else to love(and so begins the new cycle!). <br />I'll start you off w/ an easy one: Nay on the Jacqueline since you already have the yellow ver. & the blue vappu dress!Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241369117108101089.post-32741606515922800912010-06-30T11:01:28.969-04:002010-06-30T11:01:28.969-04:00I love your outfit, and your sister is too cute!

My best advice would be just to try on and pretend you haven't bought it yet...ask yourself if you really love it or if you could take it or leave it.

I will buy 2 different sizes of the same skirt and keep them both for months in my closet because I can't decide which size I want, which means neither gets worn. I'll also buy things on sale that I don't necessarily need because I'm afraid they will sell out and I might want them later and then months later they are still sitting in my closet, tags on. It's a horrible habit that I need to work on!Sara-You, Me and Anthropologiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15078764380537953169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241369117108101089.post-62717632286259446622010-06-30T10:19:23.473-04:002010-06-30T10:19:23.473-04:00Firstly, you and your sister are tooooo cute toget...Firstly, you and your sister are tooooo cute together.

Seriously you don't ever want to see my closet, it is positively shameful. I have too many things that I have NEVER WORN and it makes me uncomfortable every time I open the door. I have developed denial-eyes and avoid looking at them, which drives them into even further neglect ;)<br /><br />That said, I love that you are awesome enough to have an audition rack, I am nowhere near that organized.
