two grand too grand.

the results are in.

after several weeks of seeing dresses i could kill for pop up on the modcloth blogroll, i finally decided to sit down and make my wishlist.

if i bought everything on my list, i'd be out $2175.

(does this mean i can justify buying $200 worth of dresses because "I only bought 10% of what i wanted!!"??)

although, i really didn't show much discretion in my choices, as i usually would.

for example:

Local Muse Dress

Maritime Moxie Dress

the two of these dresses, combined, are just shy of $450.  awesome.

but, that's what wishlists are for, right?  to keep a list of things you wish you could afford?

on the bright side, these are the only items on the wishlist that top $100.  so there is hope that i may, one day soon, be able to buy myself a couple dresses (much more affordable than these!).

oh, and by the way, everything on my list was chosen with my new haircut in mind.  doesn't matter if it would be a good shape on my body.  the hair and the dress will move mountains together. i just know it.

if you want to contribute to the "Buy Kelyn Thirty New Dresses From the Same Website Fund", leave a comment below.  i'll be sure to get back to you.  instantly.  and make you cookies in hopes that you'll contribute more.

Green Thumbs

My money-spending addiction came into action today...

In addition to lots of pretty new spring and summer clothes, I spent $35 on new nail polish!

I generally stick with the typical pinks and reds when I do my nails, and therefore have about 10 bottles of pink that all are just slightly different.  When my nieces got their nails done last week, I noticed one got a cool gold color, so I figured, if she's daring enough to go out on a limb and get a different color, so will I!  And now, I have a whole rainbow of colors to choose from!  I even let myself go so far out on the limb as to buy a dark blue (while it's officially called Dark & Stormy, I prefer to call it Mermaid Blue since it looks like the color I'd imagine a mermaids tail would be), which I tried out on my toes already.  So far I'm not impressed with it, but perhaps a little sunshine on my toes will change my mind!

A little side note:  I talked to my sister a little about nail polish last week, and apparently it's the trend in high school for the students to be painting their fingers all pretty colors and leaving the ring finger black, or having only the ring finger painted (again, in black) and every other finger left bare.  I find this trend a little wierd...
