the things I would buy if I came into a modest inheritance from a distant relative

This is not a meme, but if anyone would like it to be, go for it.

1. A bird necklace from Smallthings Designs. (click "shop," then "originals.")
2. The Corset Tank Top kit from Spirit Trail Fibers (scroll down to the last picture).
3. A custom-made salwar kameez.
4. An Ashford Traditional.
5. This, this, this, and this.
6. A.L de Sauveterre's Klee scarf kit. Her handpainted cashmere is *ridiculous.*
7. This gorgeous necklace from Happy Owl Glassworks. Their pins are adorable, too; I may have to content myself with a damselfly or otter until I can afford the nicer stuff.
8. A tote bag from Queen Bee, but don't ask me to decide on one. They're all pretty awesome.

If I get a decent summer job, I plan to splurge on a number of these things.

Man. I am so jealous of you. You can totally fit into all that hot stuff from Anthropologie, can't you?

Um. Well, there's a store in Rockville, but I've never actually been in it to try things on. So, theoretically, but there's no way to be sure. And it's all too pricey anyway.

Actually, I think a lot of their stuf is way too embellished and ruffled and flouncey and overdone. But they occasionally do have clothes I adore, and then buy cheaper, less well-made versions of from H&M.

I love their stuff. Like, to the point where if I could afford to buy a new wardrobe from there, I would lose twenty pounds just to do it. I would exercise.

I like a lot of their stuff *in theory*. Like, I can appreciate it on the hangar, but I know if I put it on I'd look like what would happen if Lois Lane, Girl Reporter fell into a big pile of sewing embellishments. But every now and then I see something on that website that I want, *so bad.*

... Yeah, yeah, you probably have a good point. But still! It's so cute on the hanger!
