For some reason, I don’t have much to say about my April purchases (perhaps because it’s May 9th and I’ve blown through this month’s budget). Also some of these actually came out from boredom, which isn’t how I want to shop (that would be my skater skirt and slip-on sneakers, though I had my eye on the sneakers for a bit). The little white dress is something I’ve been looking for for ages, and it’s not perfect but I resigned myself to it. Maybe eventually I have it tailored a little. The Target dress is something I tried on a whim while shopping with a coworker and it fit perfectly. I couldn’t say no to something like that. Would you?
