Monday Shopping Report: There's Always a List.

I go through phases where I want absolutely nothing and then I suddenly want All The Things even though it's kind of a weird time of year for clothes - I am thoroughly sick of winter clothes but not yet sure what, exactly, I want for spring. But that hasn't stopped me from making a mental list of rando things I want. For instance:

Are faux leather leggings done? They aren't in their fist flush of trendiness but either way, I have be quietly obsessed with Athleta's Delancey Gleam Moto Tights. Not the black pair that's on sale, oh no, I want the weird chocolate/oxblood color that are still full price. I had some rewards stacked up so I finally snapped and ordered them so I could KNOW if they're for me. Sometimes you just need to know, you know? (Does anyone have them?) 


I've also been dealing with a fair amount of dryness since I started slapping Tretinoin on my face and remembered how much I loved the rms beauty oil that I used religiously a few years ago but didn't reorder for reasons that escape me. (I probably wanted to try something newer and shinier.) It comes in a mini size which is lovely because who knows if my face will still love it? I haven't used a facial oil in a while but I find I need to be a glazed donut like Marianne and seal in all my potions. 


In super-bargain news, this cute striped tunic sweater at Loft has been haunting Marianne and today it's marked down to $20! It's only available in a few sizes but $20! She ordered it right quick. 

In "things I want" news, I love my American Giant moto jacket so so much (outfit here) that I also want one of their amazing hoodies (preferably in the weird faded purple color that probably won't even look good on me.) They're expensive but they offer 20% off your first order, which helps. This is definitely a want, not a need, but it's on my mental list of Things I Will Probably End Up Buying Eventually. 


Also on that list - what Birkenstocks will Adrien buy this summer? I am currently enamored with the big buckle style, maybe these Arizonas in cognac? I just love how upscale they look. I also love the white/gold split style but probably too similar to what I already have.

    1. I love the Madrids but I'm not sure if I can walk in them. I might have to go try on a pair.

  3. I have several AG items because I love the quality, but fit is tricky. Just an fyi: the moto jacket is a bit baggier than the hoodie, perhaps because the pockets are different and affect how it lies. If you order a classic hoodie, I recommend going up at least one size. It is very fitted in the midsection area. The storm hoodie, though, is not as close of a fit. I still ordered up because I like to layer. The storm one is more $ but there are zippers on the pockets, better hood toggles, and some kind of fancy coating that makes it better for PNW rainshowers. Good luck!

    1. This is so helpful, thank you! My Moto is a medium and I wasn’t sure how to go on the hoodie.
