So Halloween has come and gone, and Turkey Day’s on the way. Do you know what that means? BLACK FRIDAY!!! It’s one of my favorite holidays of the season. Black Friday is something I definitely get into the spirit of. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can participate this year (see preceding post about being broke), but it’s always fun to window shop and look at all the stuff I can’t afford even if it’s marked down, all the way down to the underworld!

In anticipation of this glorious day, I have compiled  a list of things I want and adore but can only admire from afar. (It’s like unrequited love, isn’t it?) I’m making part of this up as I go along, so I wonder how long this’ll get. Gee, I have a lot of time on my hands! But it’s a Sunday and we just gained an hour to Daylight Saving, so why not? Here I go!

1. Scarves. Knit ones in dark red, forest green; silky ones in turquoise and an obnoxious shade of orange.
2. A dark wash, straight-leg pair of Joe’s Jeans. They have a line of denim made especially for petite people called Provocateur. I’d love to splurge on one, but I can wait. I think I’ll get one at Ebay or snoop around at some consignment shops in the nicer neighborhoods of San Francisco. I actually saw a pair of Joe’s Jeans at Crossroads this afternoon, but I didn’t grab it because it wasn’t from the Provocateur line. Darn, so close! Also, I specically want a dark wash, straight leg jean because they’re the more flattering than lighter washes, skinny or flared jeans.



3. Shoes. Lots of ‘em!  Especially sneakers by Skechers and cute ankle boots.



4. Fuzzy slippers. To wear at home so I don’t have to get my socks dirty all the time. And so my feet won’t have to come in contact with the cold, wooden floors in my apartment.
5. Havaianas. Hmm, a pair of flip flops aren’t exactly appropriate for the winter season, but they’re always nice to have! I love the design on this one:
6. A beanie or a slouchy beret. A slouchy beret would be nice because since it’s loose, it won’t be too tight on my huge head. Plus, when I’m wearing one, the fog and rain probably won’t be able to get to my hair and make it frizzy after I’ve spent so much time trying to get it to look decent. This one from Urban Outfitters is cute!
7. Cable-knit sweater. This one from Abercrombie is nice.
8. Betsey Johnson bobby pins. These aren’t necessary, but they’re so cute I couldn’t *not* put them on this list!
9. Orange BCBG Max Azria Dress. I love the cut and color of this. My favorite color may be orange, but I find that a lot of clothes in orange are in hideous shades of orange.

I’m going to stop here. There are so many things I’d like to add, but this is good enough for me… for now, anyway.
