dilemma: with outcome
well…although you guessed option C, really option B was the winner…ding ding ding! west elm was pretty cool, but i already knew there wasn’t going to be anything there i had hoped to buy upon seeing it in person (based on looking at the catalog every time it comes in the mail)…but having gone to anthropologie a few nights before and seeing some cool things, i knew exactly what i wanted to buy there when the cash came around. well, to be honest, i kind of want to buy about 90% of the stuff they have in there…but i ended up buying a really cool H monogram which looks like a large metal letter on a wood block thingy (as if used in huge letterpresses) and a cool ceramic vase with retro-y shapes in multiple greens (i have little accents of lime-ish green with my teal sofa in the living room). so, both of those items now complete the fireplace mantel arrangement, and are both completely purposeless besides looking cool (thus wil doesn’t really see the point in them). plus, i only used about a third of my cash, so i can continue to splurge as i see fit without feeling bad.

so i sold the old couch off of craigslist…the girl came over tonight to look at it, and while i’ll be keeping it in the garage until she moves, she paid me my whoppin $150 to complete the sale. (we bought it used for only $300, 3 years ago, so i figured anything more than free is better than i’d expect)
so, i now have cash in my wallet and a dilemma at hand that i need help with. do i:
- a) put the cash into savings, to go towards some of the previous purchases made towards the house/furniture (boring and so what my personality would do)
- b) go splurge on myself at the brand new anthropologie store that just opened in nashville
- c) go splurge on myself at an exclusive preview party of the unopened brand new west elm store in nashville, to which i was recently invited to
decisions decisions… what would you do?

I will say this….I am SO happy to see that two of the three options are SPLURGING. way to “grow up.”
Option A is SO lame. NO NO NO.

Anthropology…..what a great store. I always tried to get you to buy clothes there, but you’d NEVER splurge for me. I too love their house stuff/clothes/accessories….how fun!! I do like your H…it looks great on the mantle.
