There are several pieces of footwear that are considered preppy and one of the most iconic is probably the oxford shoe--classic and timeless.
Some of you may recall that this summer I went on a no-shop summer inspired by Beth. It actually went really, really well! Better than expected actually. I didn't even have a hankering to shop. I stayed away from thrift stores without a problem. I put all of my email ads straight into the trash. I was not influenced by other bloggers. Ok, I was sometimes but I was able to keep my will power up.
But I did buy one thing: this skirt. I saw it in Target getting something for my kids. But the price tag was clearance. And it is a skirt that I seriously have been yearning for for a very long time--seeing it all over the blogosphere and beyond--I knew of it's remix potential.
So I didn't feel badly about the skirt. And I still don't. It was under $20, it's already been on my radar and I can picture countless ways to style it over and over again. So I think that is something worth breaking a shopping ban for.
But, as predicted by Lydia, now that school starts (today!) the ban is officially over and I want all the things. All of the little pieces I have been eyeing on other bloggers, longing for them to join my closet. And I did a little online shopping to satisfy my cravings.
So get ready--Mama's got some new things in her closet and I cannot wait to debut them on the blog. And once again I am reminded of why shopping bans are so dangerous. Because when they are over, you binge. And I would feel slightly guilty if it were not for all of the pretty, shiny new things hanging in my closet.
