J's mom had given me an Anthropologie gift card for my birthday, so I had to stop by and see what I could get. I could have shopped for a lot longer, but J was sitting outside the store reading the paper, which made me feel a bit bad. I did manage to pick up these items...
^I restocked on this because we were almost out. This checklist really helps us remember to get the groceries we're out of.
I tried on several different cardis for fall, but most of them just didn't do it for me. I was this close to buying a new shower curtain, but I decided to buy stuff just for me. After all of that, I forgot to use the gift card! Can you believe it? Oh well... I'm positive I'll find something else to get.
I stopped across the way at Urban Outfitters, but I didn't find a thing that caught my eye. Do you ever find that you'll see a ton of things in their catalog, but when you go to the store, things just look cheap? That is almost always the case with me and Urban. I just don't get it. Occasionally, I'll find something, but more often than not, I won't. (I take it back... I did find some lovely feather headbands that I loved, but J thought they looked dumb... not exactly work appropriate, I'm sure.)
After that I ran into Gap. I don't seem to find as much there as I used to. (Maybe because I worked there for 3+ years and used to get a discount??) Their clothes just aren't as bright and cheery as they used to be. I'm all about my neutrals, but I also need a kick of color. I tried on a few pairs of jeans. None of which fit and all varied in sizing even though I picked up the same size. Weird. I ended up scoring big time... a white fitted button-down for $17.99 (you can never have enough of those!) and an ivory sweater marked $43.99 that was actually $19.99!! Yay!
I almost bought a ton of stuff at babyGap, but I resisted... you do not understand how hard that is with two nieces. It's like an addiction for me. I have a basket of "to-be-gifted" baby clothes already.
On our way back to Steamboat, we stopped at Old Navy in Silverthorne for a very quick look. They were having a 20% off promo, so I picked up a new water canteen, some silver sandals, and a sweater. I really wanted to buy more baby stuff, but I held off.
oh... I almost forgot! We stopped by Nike at the 16th Street Mall on Saturday, and I picked up a new running skirt. Is anyone else excited to get new workout clothes?
All in all, I didn't get too excited about much of the fall stuff that was out so far, but that is a good thing. J still has me on a short spending leash because our house isn't off the market yet. That probably sounds awful, but, honestly, I tend to binge shop when I go to Denver because we're not near any shopping venues where we live. It's a scary sight. I think I did a good job of knowing when to say no this time.
Are you in the fall swing of things yet? Can you tell by my purchases that I'm getting there?

I love all three of those sweaters!
And I competely agree about Urban Outfitters and about Gap jeans... I recently gave up on Gap jeans as they fit me horrible after 30 minutes of wearing them...
i love those to do lists and check lists. they're so adorable and so handy!
The sweater from Anthropologie is way cute!! It's so romantic and cuddly.
Ah yes, fall is definetly in the air of my wardrobe :) I went shopping this past weekend too and stocked up on pants (and of course, the Polo bikini coverup that I won't need for a year but was 80% off).
I have been shopping for new fall things. I've gotten several things, just need to find some shoes!
