I have for months kept a list of what I need/want for spring/summer, and now I’m finally getting closer to completing it. There are still a few things missing though:

Wooden wedges I have a pair on the way that I ordered on eBay, so if everything works out, it’ll soon be crossed off the list.

Floral dress I want one in that will work as a substitute for the ones in Anna Sui’s spring collection. I thought those would be easy to find, but I guess I was wrong.

Baggy dress May be a tricky one.

High waist pants They don’t seem to be found anywhere at my price range.

Colorful leggings So many people hate leggings, but I must admit that I’m quite fond of them. A lavender pair would be great.

Yellow dress I got one on eBay, but I wasn’t too happy with it. I have a bid in for another one, so I’m hoping to cross it off soon. Update: I lost the dress. Now I have to start from scratch. Darn, it was the most important thing left on the list (except the shorts).

Black wrap dress I really want one with a 40’s look to it.

Short khaki shorts It should be easy to find, but so far I’ve had no luck. I think they may have a perfect one on Mango, so I’m planning to stop by there soon.

Chain prints Not essential, but it would be fun to have a dress or shirt.

White or red framed sunglasses I actually found white framed aviators today, I just have to think about it. If things don’t work out I have a DIY project in mind.

I like to have full control over what I need and want at all times. I have even started shopping for fall. This way I make less bad impulse buys and my money last longer. Cheap and fun secondhand finds are always allowed though.

I’m having a really crappy day. I even cut class - I never do that! Then I went shopping even though I shouldn’t. With my terrible mood and temper it was due for a punk rock inspired outfit. I keep waiting for the day that I feel like dressing classy or preppy. It’s getting closer and closer to my finals, and it creates a lot of tension in me that I seem to be taking out in the way I dress. I keep imagining myself in pink dresses and golden shoes, but it’s just not the time for it. I change my style very often so I am waiting to see what’s next. At least, here I am, hanging out in a dark alley with political slogans sprayed all over.

I keep coming across vintage stores, and here’s another one for you: Parkerhawn is a store where you’ll find vintage clothing and accessories, including several designer items. The prices are low and I was sold the minute I saw the white quilted handbag. If you want it it’ll cost you $41. The flats are Salvatore Ferragamo and are only $30. The 60’s dress will set you back $44.
