Things I have bought his week that I really shouldn’t have but I am weak and cannot pass up deals:

.

J.Crew Augusta Peep Toes in Soft Apricot

I have been busy stalking these since they came out on the site in early Spring.  Oh so adorable, but not necessarily $225 adorable.  Fortunately, the color I most wanted, the apricot (since I already have the Augusta Ballet Flats in yellow), went on sale this week, and with the recent 20% off promotion, these came to a cool $79.99.  I’m always at a loss for what to wear with my frilly, frothy white dresses and skirts, but I think these will go perfectly.

Jessica Bennett Jeanie D’orsay Heels

I was randomly browsing the Jessica Bennett sale section and I did a double take when I saw these gorgeous red bow-adorned peep toes on sale for $49.  I have been looking for a pair of shoes like this for a LONG time.  I was even more pleased when I saw the site had a $10 off coupon on the blog, bringing these down to $39.  Jessica Bennett makes really nice quality shoes, so that’s kind of insane.  And then, best of all, I managed to get endless.com to pricematch the $39, and thus got their free overnight shipping and no sales tax to boot.  Oh man, I’m such a cheapskate.  But a cheapskate with pretty feet.

Anthropologie Bow-Tie Belt

I’m not sure what exactly I’m going to do with a lime green belt, but that bow looked so perfectly formed, *and* it was on sale, so I couldn’t resist.  I’m sure I’ll  find something!  I got tempted by this after seeing it on the fab blog Midwestern Cliche, which, if you haven’t read yet, you should, because she manages to highlight the cutest things :)

Not totally related to the bow-tie theme but:

Anthropologie Majesty Palm Maillot

I’ve been drooling over this swimsuit for several months, but was not about to pay $200 for it.  Now it’s on sale, yay!   The obi-like tie at the waist seems super flattering and willing to hide a pudgy belly like mine :)

Modcloth Bow-jito skirt

I know, I know, I already own the J.Crew Bow skirt, but I have to see how this minty green version stacks up against it.

That was the last of my buys, but now that I’m on such a bow roll, I’m considering getting this very old wishlist item too :) :

In God We Trust Bow Cuff

Well I’m off for a few days to visit one of my best friends up near Seattle.  Hope all of you have great weekends :)
