Current Wants 1: Wear Now, Wear Later



Booties //  Sunglasses // Bag // Dress // Pants // Skirt // Tee


Now that it's partway through summer, just about every store is offering "new arrivals," which oh-so-conveniently work perfectly at this time of year and into early fall. This is exactly why I keep adding new items to my list of things I want.

Since fashion changes so frequently, this list of mine is always on the go.

I don't need anything right now, but I always like to find a reason to justify why it's okay to make another purchase.

I recently just came across this really awesome site, Raise.com and I think they can help us justify these more frivolous purchases.

Essentially, Raise.com is an online marketplace, where you can buy or sell gift cards. I think it's so great, because if you have a gift card that you won't use, why not sell it for cash? On the flip side, you can buy a gift card for a bit less than it's valued, so you save money on something you would be buying anyway. I think it's such a clever concept, but for now, it's only open to those in the US. Boo!

What other "wear now, wear later" items are on your want list?

  2. Ahhh I love all of these pieces! They are perfect for both summer and fall, and any transition time between. On my list-a nice chambray to pull over tanks during the summer or wear as a shirt in the fall! xx

  17. I have to agree with you! At this point in Summer, if I'm buying things, they have to transition to Fall! So many pretty picks, but I love the brown "shooties". I recently bought a pair like that in black, but I love that cognac shade!

    ♥ perfectly Priya
