Sunshine and shopping

Having an extra day off on the weekend is such a wonderful thing. However, having it be sunny on all three of the days off makes it pretty perfect. Today was another glorious day as evidenced by all the short and singlet wearing people I saw out and about. I took the opportunity to head downtown today to do some errands and indulge in some spontaneous retail therapy. Shopping makes me happy, but finding bargains is even better because there is no residual guilt or buyer's remorse once you get home and take a look at your bounty. I did a lot of window shopping today, lusting over various items, some just outside my means and others way out of reach. Still I picked up a few, non-essential things from two of my favourite stores - American Eagle and Forever 21. Ballet-style flats were the order of the day from American Eagle with two pairs purchased.

As you can see they are very different, but equally as cute and I got them both for a steal. Forever 21 was all about accessories as I selected some adorable, yet fun earrings at a bargain price.

I'm excited to have different colours and shapes to play with depending on my mood and my outfit. The last item to come home with me was a brightly coloured scarf. I must admit that this scarf wasn't my first choice of the day, but the one I loved was a bit too much to justify. I don't feel like I am settling as I do love the weight of the scarf and the colour combination, but I haven't given up on buying the one I did fall completely head of heels for.
