I won't be shopping much this spring. It has very little to do with the economy. I simply have the basics that I've lacked in the past: Proenza Schouler black pumps. Shift dresses from WhyRed and Steven Alan. Blazers from Helmut Lang and YSL. (Of course, these items were all purchased for a fraction of the original price.) However, there are always a few items on my wish list.
What I Want:
- red, navy and highlighter yellow deep v-necks from American Apparel
- some sort of Lego hair clip or belt
- some new white sneakers--maybe from Superga
- BOY suspender strap skirt
- boyfriend shirt in blue from Steven alan
- new navy Keds (mine are stinky)
- some classic flats
- cotton power dress from Preen's diffusion line
- And maybe this pioneer skirt from Acne. Maybe.
- my Rachel Comey oxfords with Uniqlo jeans
- Tashkent wedges with high-waisted Michael Kors shorts
- Marc by Marc Jacobs black organza cocktail dress
- black bass tassel loafers
- my grey YSL oversized blazer from the '90s
- my doc martens
- lots of fluorescent accents, like scrunchies!
- more grey than I should be able to get away with
- Pierre Hardy for Gap army green wedges!

I plan on living in my boyfriend's old levi cut off jean shorts, drapey tank tops and deep v-neck t-shirts, a denim miniskirt or two and some good slightly oversized men's button downs. My theme this summer is Lauren Hutton in Amerian Gigiglo meets Fast Times at Ridgemont High. High class/Low class and staying cool and comfortable.
Luckily I have some beautiful pieces I can't wait to pull out, black and white leopard print Philip Lim sandals, Fendi gladitor sandals, a cute cotton Marni tote, Rachel Comey and Zero Maria Cornejo silk tanks and two classic trench coats.
Unfortunately, I will be shopping less in light of the economy. Although my budget is significantly smaller, I'm happy I have purchased some great investment pieces in the past and my wardrobe really only needs a few staples to keep it current and fresh. My shopping list this spring includes a Land's End or LL Bean rain jacket, Trash and Vaudevill white jeans, a couple tissue thin tunic tops from J Crew and Steven Alan and if I land a job I'll treat myself to a new handbag and pair of shoes from Barneys!
Ah, yes! I forgot about the Philip Lim sandals! Thanks for your contribution, Emme. As usual, I'm sure I'll get lots of style inspiration from you.
