carpetbagger chic

I tend to like grandma chic. There's nothing wrong with that. Do you think this carpetbag satchel (they call it the "sweater satchel" but really, I don't know anyone who would wear this as a sweater...well ok, maybe my mom) is taking it too far?

I think Anthropologie has an unfair monopoly over this quirky cutesy stuff. I am staring at their chickadee egg cup and chuckling to myself. Know anybody who'd want and/or use this?

And there's also a dress I really like...as usual...

Sigh. I can't be spending money right now. But but but...

Diana: omg

that's so cheap!!

i mean

not really

but if you think about anthro

and then h amd m prices

h and m

and this is anthro

isn't it?
me: yeah

oh dear

i am so tempted

but i cannot shop anymore!!!

Diana: i feel like it is a steal

Diana, you are NOT helping. Aaagghghhhh!
