BRIDAL SHOWERS

I'm daydreaming about bridal showers - they are a strange thing to me... I'm not sure where the tradition started but I am curious. I'm going to be having a bridal shower at some point, so naturally I am thinking of outfits. 

This is made worse by my commitment to not buy anything for a long long time.

I saved the vow of non-consumerism in Nate's phone, and thinking I was doing really well I decided to ask him how long it had been...

2 weeks. 

Only 2 weeks.

It feels like 2 months. 

So its been 2 weeks without a purchase, and 1 week without a drink. (go me, right?!) 

But I could be buying some new swag - this would be it.

Or if a very wonderful mother I have wanted to buy me an outfit for my bridal shower then this would be a comprehensive road map! (a girl can dream)

This wonderful dress from ASOS (I'm a size 12 MOM!!) I think the pattern is super romantic - I picture this with a pair of black boots and a flower crown. 

Another beauty from ASOS (which also has free shipping Mom, fear not) I am obsessed with gibson girl era lawn dresses, which do not come in a 30inch waist. 

So, where do bridal showers come from? Have you ever been to one before? Are they still necessary given that couples commonly live together pre-marriage?

COVETING

Non Stop Coveting. I'm not sure what the matter with me is! I want to purge and then I want to squirrel. Purge/ squirrel/ purge/ squirrel...
I'm sure you get the idea.
I'm going to assemble a list here - maybe that would make me feel better?

Rose Gold Memory Ring, CATBIRDNYC - $64.00 

Cowhide Rug from Ikea - $299.00

MARC BY MARC JACOBS wallet - $198.00

Fluevog boots JAFFA JAFFALE - $309.00

Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply - $125.00

Manitobah Mukluks Havester - $89.00

Le Labo ROSE 31 perfume - either $58.00 or $145.00

Gold Ear Cuff CATBIRDNYC - $78.00

Okay... I think that might actually be it... It feels better to just lay it all out in its consumer glory! I'm not sure why I crave to buy things/ have treasures/ want want want. It's hard. But, if I was to strike it rich and buy everything it would only cost me... only $1220.00

...

that is a boatload of money! Who has that kind of money? Let me into your world!

This is what I've been working on instead of writing papers... 

oh god. 

HELLO BLOG? IT'S ME BRITSKY.

So stay tuned!
