Random Thursday: Last 5 Frivolous Purchases



  1. I count most of my nail polish purchases as wholly frivolous, since in all honesty I probably have more than enough to suit me at this point and don't need any more. But I couldn't resist grabbing some matte neon highlighter yellow polish from Zoya when they had their big New Year's sale. How often will I actually wear it? Rarely. But it was calling my name!
  2. Coffee and danishes at Starbucks. Totally not a necessity, but sometimes it's fun to grab a treat and just sit awhile at the coffee shop. And of course, there's lots of people watching to be had!
  3. A pair of lime green skinny jeans. But they were on clearance, for $9! How do you pass that up?! I'll try to do a styling post with them very soon.
  4. A carob bar. For the uninitiated, carob is similar to chocolate, though not as sweet. This bar also had acai berries in it. I do count chocolate as a necessity most days, but I try not to eat too much of it. However, I hadn't had carob in years and was really eager to try some and see if it was as good as I remembered. (It was!)
  5. A jaguar bracelet from Forever 21. I didn't particularly need a new piece of jewelry, and $13 is more than I would typically pay for a jewelry item from that store. But this one--I snitched a picture from the website down below--was too different from most of the other pieces on the table, so I snatched it up. I see now that it isn't available any longer online, but there are some other interesting jaguar rings available. I think the green eye detail on my bracelet really makes it stand out, though.

    1. It was one of those totally random "walk by the table, glance down and see it" type of deals. It was just sitting there, waiting for me!
