dressed for the mountains

...but merely going to the grocery store

sweater: f21, scarf: urban outfitters, jeans: j brand, boots: sorels

new winter boots (when spring is seemingly around the corner).

i saw these purple sorel boots online and immediately fell in love.

it turned out there was exactly one pair, in my size, left at the local nordstrom.

fate? i think so.

surely (and sadly) you know this means i broke my "no shopping allowed" bet...

i woke up with epic (and exciting) plans for my sunday.

a coffee date with a girlfriend, a lovely trip to the comcast store,

a few loads of laundry, followed by a manicure. 

instead, i spent an hour waiting for AAA to assist me with a horribly flat tire.

after learning my tire was "shot," i promptly arranged a trip to the tire store,

only to find out i needed not one, but four new tires.

talk about exciting news (especially for my bank account).

of course, this teaching assistant cannot afford four new tires on a whim,

so... happy early birthday to me! love, mom & dad.

hopefully your sunday was more productive and less draining (financially) than mine!

xoxo.
