Current wants

I never thought I could be so disciplined with money as I am right now. But that's not to say I'm not making mental notes of things I might buy at some future date and time, yet to be determined. Chelsea blogged this sweater from Cardigan and I'm seriously looking at it daily. And e-mails from Upla (I should really unsubscribe from them altogether) always remind me I want one of their bags.


I still (still!) want a Pyrrha J necklace (seriously, what does it take to get some secret admirers around here?). And, since my enjoyment of winter goes up in proportion with my ability to stay upright on ice, I think I'll buy some new boots (possibly Blundstones to be alternated with my old faithful Bean boots).

But that's it - remarkably subdued considering I should be feeling seriously deprived of shopping treats. There's nothing too dramatic, certainly nothing glamorous, on this list. Yet I would love every one of these things and wear them to death. What unglamorous things are you wishing for?

  3. I can see why! On the top of my list right now is a fine wool pullover. That's it -- simple and cozy.

  4. I've been eyeing a pair of navy blue Toms shoes for a while now, but other things always seem to take precedence!

  6. I'm also not spending right now. I very sensibly added a Wish List folder to my internet favourites at home. I expected dresses and shoes to dominate. Erm, but a new doona cover is what comes through!

    While this is a stylish item for others, I have to keep in mind who will be using it the most: a feline. Therefore, durability comes first, but dammit, I also want one that looks good!

  11. I love that bag, but I've been really craving a pair of Blundstone boots too! Have you ever had a pair? I've heard great reports, and I love the look of them.

  12. Ha! Thanks Barbara! I think I need to set myself a goal and tempt myself with it as my reward. I guess I want to buy it for a special reason, instead of just cause...

  13. i'm doing a spending hiatus right now, and i just posted about my non-glamorous wish list. sailor shirts, a light, loose blouse, leggings with snaps at the ankle, sunglasses, and parka. it's kind of a long list, but it's really just an update on basics i'm starting to wear out.
