Before I shop I like to compile wish lists. I search around and save items I like. Making a list reminds me of what things I like, helps focus me and also sometimes it stops me from making impulse purchases. I am trying to hold off from spring shopping as long as I can because I want to stick to pieces I can wear now or absolutely have to have. In the past I have shopped seasons too early and I either don't wear some of the items, or sometimes they go on sale before I even wear them, uggh!Compiling a wish list also allows me to look for alternative pieces at a lower price points. Those items give the same effect that I am looking for but allow me to spend more in other areas.. Here is a peak into my spring wish list. I plan on sharing more items I have to have weekly, in a Wants of the Week section, an idea

A versatile crochet top.
A cardigan that isn't boring or typical.
Statement jewelry pieces, that make a plain white tee look great.
