Pinterest and Cardigan Love

Shhhhhh. Don't tell the Mister, but I've got a few new obsessions. You see, this week I discovered something AWESOME. Jaw-droppingly awesome in fact. Pinterest. I'll spare you the details and let you check out the website for yourself, but basically pinterest is a virtual bulletin board. You "pin" things from the internets (mostly pictures) onto "boards" that you create for yourself using categories, and then you can share these boards and pins with the rest of the world. For a lady who has spent years collecting magazine articles of interest and sorting them into categorized binders, this is a dream come true. Now instead of clunky binders, I've got "boards" for inspirational quotes, apparel I love, new make-up techniques, photography ideas to try, and a whole range of other things. It's amazing.
Related to this new pinterest obsession though, I've been spending a bit too much time evaluating my wardrobe and "pinning" cute outfits. That's led me down the road of purchasing 4 new cardigans in the last 24 hours. Because a lady can never have too many cardigans, right? Am I RIGHT? My summer wardrobe really needed some new cute blouses, some cotton summer weight cardigans, and some cute shoes. Thanks to sales recently at Banana Republic, Old Navy, and Jcrew, I was able to make that happen for dirt cheap. Thank goodness the Mister just tells me I've been looking cute lately and hasn't delved any deeper into the credit card statements. ;-)
I currently can't get enough of this ensemble. I want to live in it. Daily.
