The Pink Shoe Diaries

i realized last night that the good thing about not working in Back Bay anymore is i am no longer in close proximity to anthropologie

this store was the love of my life and the bane of my existance. i would just "pop in" on my lucnch break and leave an hour later with a 3 shopping bags and a depleted bank account.

it's the WORST place to just mill around in because everything is so cute: they have cutesy glass candlesticks, gorgeous summer dresses, adorable kitchen accessories, the most flattering jersey shirts i have ever seen....it's literally like some crawled in my mind and picked out everything that i would think is cute and put in a store. and then compelled me to go there.

daily.

i would walk from rack to rack, and spy some fantastic seersucker something or other and PRAY to myself that they did not have my size, because obviously if they did have my size i would be forced to buy it and i really can't afford to spend that much money on a skirt right now.

but of course i did.

so thank you, town of Newton, for not having an anthropologie store within your borders. me, and my bank account thank you.
