Pinterest & My Tax Return Wishlist

Ah, my hard-earned tax return! – First time in 3 years I don't owe money (grrr 1099 freelance!), so this is pretty exciting! In addition to celebrating a tax return check, I've also just accepted a new fulltime job! Pretty exciting stuff happening :) 

Considering my former position was a remote job of which I worked out of my home for, it's been a while since I've actually needed to shop for clothes. With Spring approaching, there's lots of new things out there... so, I'm compiling a wishlist of work apparel. (*Notice I said wishlist – I'm not going to go blow my entire return on every single one of these items, it's just for inspiration.) 

– o O o –

And figured while I set out to compile said wishlist, that I may as well build it using Pinterest! I'm new to the whole virtual bulletin board, so if you're interested in following me, here I am: Trig&Sprightly Pinterest.

BHLDN: Tiered Tulip Gown


My I just express that I am legitimately FLIPPING OUT and sobbing like a total baby on the inside right now?! Anthropologie/BHLDN – I am so frsutrated with you! WHY ON EARTH are you discounting and discontinuing the ONE DRESS that makes me feel like the "ideal dress search" is over?! THIS DRESS has inspired the entire daydream in my mind of what I want my someday wedding to be like! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT DISCONTINUE IT! If I won't be able to purchase it via BHLDN... where will I be able to? Who are the makers of Va et Vien??? *ARG!*

If I Had A Million Dollars: Anthropologie Jan 2012

I FINALLY got a chance to flip through my Anthropologie January 2012 catalog that came in the mail sometime this week, this morning... and I find myself singing in my head, If I had a million dollars!!! SO many adorable new items, especially some amazing 'for the home' selections – to be honest I think I liked more of the home stuff than the clothing stuff this time around. *I'll note that much of the January collection is nice in the instance you a.) live in a warmer climate, or b.) are taking winter vacation to someplace warm. For someone braving a Chicago winter however, not all items are conducive. Well, enough rambling – without further adieu, here's my hand-picked favies:

Those heels especially... drool! They're right up my alley! LOVE them! The dress is a bit more of a manageable price and I do have a wedding to attend at the end of April... we'll see ;). As for some of the for-the-home loves:
