I wish, I wish, I wish, throw a penny to the fish

Oh goodness gracious, I swear, it is impossible to save up money for my Russia trip when there are so many beautiful things I'd like to have, and there are so many gifts I need to get for my lubs.


I discovered romwe today, and I thought this dress and these tights would look perfect together, I love this color combination oh so very much --I do this with another cream-colored lace dress I own). But the dress is simply darling, sigh.


Another dress from romwe that looks absolutely adorable! (But sadly, it's too short for my personal tastes, it would make me feel paranoid and uncomfortable all day). But I love striped dresses in darker shades of blue and white or cream --they remind me of a sailor-esque dress, and I've been dying for a nautical outfit for months.

 
But this skirt. I really want this skirt, oh so much. It's the perfect delicious mulberry color (I really can't help myself when it comes to pieces in this color); it doesn't have a zipper (so it won't be broken like my last UO purchase --a very similar skirt in a similar color); and it's a comfortable length! Oh, but the price, I really don't want to spend over $40 dollars on a skirt...especially with Russia coming around the corner...


(and I thought these heartbreaker glasses were super, but I don't think I'll be buying them. But imagine them with the  mulberry skirt, or the nautical dress! On the shore, with the seagulls, maybe some red lips. Oh my..).

So, I've decided to get a second job once school starts! If financial aid lets me keep my work-study job in the office, and I manage to snag a job at the student stores, oh then I could buy at least the skirt and still have some money for birthday & Christmas gifts and all those sorts of things, while still saving up for Russia!

(The sad thing is, these are only the clothes on my wishlist --we aren't including pretty antiques or vintage novels or gorgeous glassware. Oh well! I can wait til after Russia for pretty things like that). 

Priorities, Lizzie, priorities. xx
