Nevermind today though, I'm here to talk to you about the changing of the seasons.
I was able to avoid the lure of the 'back-to-school' shopping extravaganza (acknowledging that it may no longer apply to me..)
And though this seems to suggest that I am a logical human being, I've found a slight loophole.
With the fall weather throwing itself in my face, my logic has thrown itself out the window.
Fall means warm clothes and pumpkin spice lattes.
It means my tank tops and Birkenstocks make me stick out like a sore thumb (though I will continue wearing the Birks till I'm frost bitten. At least on the non-rainy days.
The problem with this change is that I have not received a paycheque in 3 weeks.
The new job is lovely, only I have to wait till my banking information is processed in HR... and so I sit with negative dollars in my bankaccount.
This weekend got blustery though, and I cracked.
I went fall-shopping manic.
What does one need in preparation for fall?
apparently I needed nail polish. Even though my life is overflowing with it

Totally logical.
I also needed to find a pair of shoes I could wear in the office, other than my birks. I don't really have anything casual to wear, my options are Birks or big shnazzy heels, so I deemed shoe shopping acceptable.
I love shoes, but they don't love me back.
It's a bitter and resentful relationship I have with every perfect pair of shoes I pick up.
I hate shoe shopping.

If you know me, you know my feet.
Aha, they look fairly normal, but they're broken for life, and it is very easy to tell once you get me in a shoe store.
I don't wear flats because.. well I flatten them.
Collapsed arches are not pretty in a pair of flats, promise.
But I was actually very pleased with the spoils of yesterday's shoe-shoppingtorture adventure

| Cute right? |
Anyways, that was the only big purchase.
Otherwise... I find that when the leaves change colour, it's like every scarf I pass is calling my name.
I knew my credit card was hurtin' though.
Solution? Ardene.
3 for $15 scarves people! and theyre actually cute and practical.
Circle Scarves galore!
At this point you probably hate me, I don't usually appreciate the 'shopping-haul' blogs either.
But I promise you don't hate me as much as my bank account.
First pay day this Friday though!!
To make up for the pointlessness of this post, I will leave you with some music therapy.
