Since I’m a total idiot, I decided to check the “yes” check box when Madewell asked me if I wanted “email updates” of “promotions” and “new arrivals.”

This means that everyday, Madewell sends me an email with gorgeous disheveled hipster models wearing pretty-but-not-too-pretty clothing in a perfectly styled utopia.

So it’s as if I’ve decided to torture myself daily with items that I want and cannot afford-slash-items that only look good on skeletons with messy ombre auburn hair.

I caved last week and bought some stuff.  Obviously, when you’re spending copious amounts of money on things, you should make sure they are totally timeless.  You know, like shockingly bright cobalt blue pants and neon pointelle socks.

Sigh.  Spring better get here soon.  And I better lose about 25 pounds before it gets here.  And Madewell better have a sale before then.

LIFE IS SO HARD.
