Patience is a Virtue

I’m usually an impulse buyer. I see it, I want it, I buy it. Sometimes it has its advantages, but there’s nothing worse than that gut wrenching feeling of seeing the top you HAD to have a week ago now hanging on the sale rack for 80% off the triple marked down clearance price. Am I right?

I can proudly boast that this post is not about overspending, but patiently waiting for the right time to purchase my must-haves. I originally saw this dress a couple weeks ago, brand new to the sales floor. I wanted it for a wedding a month away, so I told myself to be patient. Sure enough, the week before the wedding, found it on the sale rack: 50% off. Sweet, sweet victory.

And to go with it: this perfect pavé bracelet, identical to J. Crew’s gorgeous rendition, here. The only difference you ask? I got mine from Etsy, for a million dollars cheaper (practically).

Overall, I’d say I’m definitely winning with this outfit.
