After cheating on my shopping ban last week, I kept myself in check this week. My bank account was pretty low after buying my Fluevog Heather boots, so it wasn’t too hard. However, there was a trip to Anthropologie. I tried on this gorgeous skirt in a 12, but it was just a bit too snug. I asked the store associate if they had any 14′s, so she ordered it for me from the Anthro website, no shipping fees attached! I love Anthropologie. I haven’t gotten it in the mail yet, but hopefully this size will work.
Passage of Time Skirt $49.95 (on sale)
I also got a fantastic freebie this week. The wonderful people at Dansko noticed my blog and the fact that I wear a lot of discontinued Dansko styles. They offered me a free pair of new Danskos, and I happily accepted. So please welcome the lovely Dansko Sally in brown:
These shoes fill the gap for brown shoes that I was looking to fill at the beginning of the ban. I realize they aren’t pumps, but honestly I like them better than traditional pumps. You’ll be seeing plenty of outfits with these.
So overall, I didn’t spend any of my$24 of ban money this week (which can only be used on second-hand or hand-made items). I spent $50 of my free money (which can be used anywhere) leaving me with $7.50.


Those shoes are fantastic! You’ll probably get much more use out of them than traditional pumps, anyways. I love reading your shopping ban posts!
Great shoes! I love the brown with the greyish tights. Danskos are great for people who are on their feet alot.
Yay for free shoes!!! You wear them so well!!!
That skirt is gorgeous .What a nice thing they order it just for you with no more fees.
An what can I tell you about the shoes, they are wonderful and what a nice surprise.
