Too much or not enough Anthropologie?

Part of my detests how incredibly over priced my beloved Anthropologie is.
You can easily spend $50-80 on a basic (but really cool!) shirt.
Average price tag for a dress is $150.
I know this because one, regardless of said prices, I am obsessed with the place.
And secondly, I used to work there.
AND even with my sweet sweet employee discount of 40% off,
I neverrr could afford anything full price because even at HALF price, it was still out of my price range.

Still, I'd like to think that their elegance and their ability to bring in some of the most unique and beautiful pieces from all over the world makes it worth it. So when my budget can finally afford a three hundred dollar shopping blow, I know where I'll be splurging.
Because really, whats wrong with treating yourself to some pretties?
And this store, at all times of year (particularly Christmas: ga ga glittery) is gorgeous.

Just a couple of said pretties in my last affair with my Anthro





THIS WALLET WAS INCREDIBLE

 Photo hardly captures its sparkle.
 
 
 
 
Helllo good lookin'  ;) 
($150)
This color has totally grown on me.
Seriously and literally, like a fungus. But in a cool trendy sort of way.
 
 
 
More jeweled belts, eye candy 'round yo waist. (At $50 bucks a pop though)
Though, if it were up to me, I'd probably have eye candy on my head,
around my neck
on my wrists
'round my waist
on my shoes
probably on my face
 
What I like to go for is a blinding sparkle effect,
a very subtle way to tell the world,
WATCH IT !
I'm a little cray cray

BUT ANYWAY moving on.
The last few trips of thrifting were actually goal oriented.
This girl got herself an office job and now has to update the ol wardrobe.
(OH NOOO not that ;)
 
However, not much luck! Lots of hopefuls but just failed in the trying on prooocess.
 
 
A look at said hopefuls
 
 
 
Groovy prints and textures. Way bummed nothing fit right.
 
 


And this coat was awesome, but I couldn't talk myself into buying a coat while living in AZ.
 
It was only $25 though, pretty good for a coat I know I won't see anyone else in.


 

But alas, that is life. Ya thrift until you thrift some more.
