Wish List: April - June 2013

The Quarterly Wish List is a list of pieces I am allowed to shop for during a specified period of time. If it's not on the list, I shouldn't be allowed to buy it. I've been going on random shopping sprees (too many of them) and always end up with impulse buy items that I never use. If I can return all of those pieces, you have no idea how much richer I'd be!

OOTD: Banana Republic Tweed Skirt

A spontaneous shopping day led to an impulse purchase. I said I'd stop buying in the moment, but I am quite satisfied with this piece - no buyer's remorse yet. Banana Republic, along with what seemed like every other stores in the mall, was having a 50% off sale. I mindlessly thumbed through the clearance petite section and was actually quite surprised to fish this out. The orange tag said $34.99 - 50% off that means YES!

Introduction

While this blog is here to chronicle my random musings, there will highly likely be posts revolving around fashion, food, and travel. Here's to logical (hopefully) decisions and purchases!

Fashion. That may be a misnomer - I see this more of a style blog; I don't have an eye for fashion unfortunately. While my closet has grown exponentially in the past couple of years, there isn't much variety and I always end up feeling like I have nothing to wear. My focus will be on collecting the essential pieces, minimizing spontaneous purchases that end up at in the back of the closet, seeking out versatile pieces, and sticking to the budget. 

Food. Any of my friends can attest to the fact that I love food. I'm an amateur chef at best, but that's why we have people who make a career out of cooking and setup restaurants to share. I will be documenting my trials and tribulations in kitchen as well as experiences dining out.  

Travel. I grew up in a big family, making travel hard to come by. Now that I'm older, I want to travel the world and see what's beyond the gentle walls of home. As a young professional still paying off my student loans, I have limited spending money to save towards travels. Let's see how I accomplish this desire.
