My Love Affair With Modcloth: Or How I Stimulated the Economy with Free Government Money

I'm as irresponsible as the next girl when it comes to unexpected, unattached wads of cash that virtually fall from the sky (this happens, right?). This time, the money was air-dropped in by the US Government, straight into my bank account. Can I hear a "Woot!" Of course, I decided to save every penny in a nice high-yield savings account. Just kidding. I spent it! Well, not all of it, but enough to make me feel like a proud citizen of the United States of America.

Free money? Check.
Internet access? Check.
Nimble fingers? Check.
Modcloth.com? Check.
3 Pairs of shoes, a new bags and some knee socks that arrived in the mail to me today? Check!

This is what I bought:












Also, this summer I have been living in these Tory Burch flip-flops. They are even fancy enough for me to get away with wearing to work. I got them in black and brown. I am posting them because I think you should get some too. They are amazing. I have painted in them, worn them to the beach, to work, all around town, and on a day-long shopping extravaganza and they still look new and they still smell like rubber (not my feet!).



I also added to my collection of vintage cameras. Look at those beautiful little babies just waiting to wink their shutter at some unsuspecting photogenic scene or another.



What's left? An obligatory picture of my adorable cat making kangaroo paws while he sleeps? Oh, yes.
