I am basically on a shopping embargo; I can buy things I really need and I have cracked a few times but for the most part, this year is about meeting financial goals rather than aesthetic goals and because of that I am amassing a “want list” longer than my arm. But simply because I am not buying these things doesn’t mean that you can’t (and if they sell out because you have bought them, all the better for me! Like with this dress, bless you shoppers).

One. Abercrombie Short-Sleeve Midi Dress. I tried on a dress very like this but 4x the price in Anthropologie a few weeks ago; I think this one is a bit sleeker through the shoulder/back which I think would be a good thing, as much as I liked the Anthropologie version it made me feel like a linebacker.

Two. Abercrombie Glossy Rib Plunge Twist Bodysuit.

Three. Abercrombie Tie Front Mini Dress in Jade Green. To me this is the definition of a sun dress.

Also in my Abercrombie cart: YPB MotionTEK High Rise Lined Workout Short in Lollipop (I have a vision in my head of this sweatshirt I already own with red shorts), High Neck Traveller Mini Dress, Linen-Blend Wide Strap Mini Dress, One Shoulder Scarf Midi Dress. It’s all vey Meredith Blake.

Four. Djerf Avenue Go Slow Shirt and Shorts in Fruit.

Five. Djerf Avenue Day-to-Day Top and Pants in Deep Blue.

Other items in my Djerf Avenue cart: Airy Poplin Buttoned Top (White), Airy Poplin Mini Shorts (White), and Amorini Skirt in Cream.

Six. Hill House Home Matilda in Diane Hill Blue Chinoserie. I really want this for a wedding guest dress in a few weeks, but I’m trying to wear what I already have, which is perfectly lovely.

Seven. Hill House Home Mini Ophelia in Blue Peony, this is another one that just screams slightly slutty sundress to me.

Eight. Hill House Home Jacqueline in Navy Polka Dot and in having the opposite impact I wanted this post to have I noticed this dress is on sale and available in my size now. It was previously sold out.

Nine. Djerf Avenue Amorini Cardigan in Blue (thankfully my size is already sold out in this).

Ten. Djerf Avenue Breezy Classic Shirt in Blue Stripe and Breezy Shorts in Blue Stripe.

Eleven. Djerf Avenue Broderie Pants.

Twelve. Djerf Avenue Amorini Dress, I’m looking at the tall size range; I often find that mini dresses are wayyy too short for practical wear. I always feel for tall girls because I’m like 175 cm and that’s not really tall; just slightly tall of average.

My Amazon cart is mostly items I will need for after my hip surgery; partly to help with recovery, partly to set up my office as a bedroom for while my family comes to help me recover.
