I love you but you're no good for me

Every few autumns I buy a pair of knee boots because I love them.  Then I don't wear them.  There are earrings studding my Etsy favorites list but I don't wear earrings.  Ever.  I also can't exactly cram a cloth diaper or a sippy cup in a tiny clutch purse yet I covet those too.  The 1950s style dresses look terrible on me and I know this.  Yet I search for them, wasting my precious time.  

So here is my ode to things that I for some reason love but are not me. 

1. junquegypsy vintage boots  2. JenniferCasady citrine earrings

3.  23stien 50s dress  4.  luluvintage 1940s clutch

I am very concious of what comes into our home in all other areas besides fashiony stuff.  I ponder and research endlessly about what dish rack, garden hose or sofa to purchase, comparing pros and cons and prices.  So where did I get so lost with fashion stuff?  No more, baby, I'm turning over a new leaf. 

So goodbye knee boots, clutch purses, earrings and 50s style dresses!  It isn't you, its me.  Honest.

**It is pretty obvious that I've reached that magical 6 week postpartum mark!  Here I am suddenly interested in fashion and wearing normal clothes again.  Feels good to be here.

I totally know what you mean! Etsy window shopping could be a full time job-- just looking at things I admire, not that I necessarily intend to buy. Sigh.

CONGRATULATIONS on reaching 6 weeks, mama!! It's such a turning point.

That stuff is all gorgeous, and I totally get what you mean. Also, the person who made the scarf comment -- I should just drape pretty scarves all over my house, since I love them and look totally goofy trying to wear them.

Props to you for blogging with a newborn. And a polite, non-needy, un-gushing, absolutely-not-slobberingly-grateful thank-you for the comment (everyone who blogs is pathetically insecure right? It's not just me, right? Right?)
