My New Favourite Fall Sweater

Yes, I'm trying to challenge myself not to shop.  But I was in Montreal to see Eminem perform (another slight obsession) and I knew it would be dangerous shopping territory. My honeymoon was a great excuse to go shopping ("but it's our honeymoon!") and travelling is another one of my excuses to shop ("but we're on vacation!").  Limited on time, it didn't stop me from finding something.  I went into a store called Influence U and I immediately spotted this sweater (it's kind of hard not to catch your attention, whether you like it or not).  Pink + soft and cozy = must-have sweater for fall.  A perfect sweater to go shopping in.

Wildfox Couture has slowly become a favourite of mine.  I think the pieces are really fun and the quality is great.  After I purchased the sweater, I went on their website and fell in LOVE with another sweater.  Then I saw Ashley Tisdale wearing it (below) and wanted it even more.  Normally I would say that it's meant for me to buy it.  But starting this challenge actually makes me really think about my purchases.  And I did already purchase a great sweater (which I don't see on their website anymore, but there are similar great ones).

Wear Me Already: Guess by Marciano Wedges - The Final Days

It's September.  Ugh.  I am not prepared.  Today I saw a woman, once again, wearing tights!  It is still warm out, people!  I know fall is coming, but you don't need to rub it in my face.  Don't get me wrong, I love tights, boots, sweaters, the whole bit.  It's my favourite season for shopping.  (Mostly I dread it because it means winter is also coming. I think I lived in California in a previous life.)  I especially LOVE looking through September issues.  But I'm trying to cut down on shopping here and fall is going to be the most challenging season.  I'm not going to pretend I won't be buying anything because I'm desperately looking through my closet to see what I can put up on eBay, just to make up for my purchase(s).  And I'll be working a bit of overtime, which I may have offered to do just so I can go shopping.  I already have a long "need list" and a much longer "wish list". It's too bad I just started falling in love with these wedges.  But like Jay-Z, it's "on to the next one".
