An Autumn Wishlist
Monday July 09, 2012
A wishlist.
- Madewell printed loafer, sheep sweater, tassel low wedge sandals
- Shu Uemura “Chocolat Donna” mint & vanilla eyeshadow palette
- American Apparel Bull Denim Woven Cotton Cities Bag with Strap
Some of these things haven’t been released yet, which makes saving money a bit easier. I’ve been in a money-hoarding state of mind recently. Mostly stemmed from not wanting more stuff. I just know I have so much stuff for which I should already be grateful. Especially clothes and makeup.
Not that it makes saving easy. I have bad days where I just want to go BUY something at Madewell. Anything! :deco13: Because “I had a shit day & deserve this.” So instead I’ve been avoiding it until the fall releases I want come out. It also prevents me from buying items I don’t 100% love. win-win
I went through my closet and looked over my fall/winter items from last year and I’m just so eager to wear them again.
I’ve been finishing up products left and right too. Shower gels, mascara, my Paul & Joe kitten compact is now 45% pan. Bittersweet but gratifying because I used it to its full potential. I have such a natural need to “hoard & save” things for “only special days” so I force myself to crack seals and use items on any day. And I find more times than not it helps make an ordinary day feel special rather than making a special day feel … I guess, appropriate? See, there’s less of a benefit (for me personally) to save things for only special occasions because I can’t even describe what purpose it serves. :)

EEEEEEEEEEE! That shadow palette is divine!
I started to only buy new make up and skincare when I need it. I had too much that I never got to, or never really used. So now I’m down to only three eyeshadow quads. And when I run out of one, I’ll buy a new one maybe in a different color scheme. I have felt more hygienic about it too, I don’t have opened palettes of blushes or eyeshadows sitting and slowly decomposing. I read that you should really change make-up products every two years because of bacteria build up. -
Loafers are too nice right, for some reason, here we call them slippers…! I’m like that too. Right now i will only pick stuff that i really really want! I lost the opportunity to buy a travel bag… But i might get a better one in the future.
About using things. I have this feeling with perfumes! I don’t know why, but i really feel bad if i use them randomly. As for makeup, i have few products, but for some reason, i have too many body lotions and creams, so i need to finish them before buying more. -
Ha ha, I get that a lot. When you have a crappy day and you just have this strong urge to lift your spirits by obtaining something nice for yourself. Shopping is medicinal, ha ha! :3

I’ve been meaning to ask you how you keep everything you buy XD I’m in a small studio apartment now and I need to try so hard to stop myself from buying anything in case if I end up with too much crap in my apartment ; _ ; Do you throw out anything? How do stop from hoarding!!

Good for you using up products and making an attempt to utilize what you have!! I feel like there is nothing more satisfying than knowing you used your ’stuff’ to its full potential!! I also sympathize with the need for buying something….ANYTHING for instant gratification. it sucks though because my closet is bursting with just STUFF. I dont have the space for things I only kind of like. I need to strive to be pickier!

I also save things for “special days”! I don’t even know why I do it, I just find some things to be so precious to waste. Which is weird because now that you’ve said it and I start to think about it, those things we save up can glam up an ordinary day :)
