Greetings, my fellow Americans, and I hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day weekend. As a proud resident of Indianapolis who values my time, sanity, and personal hygiene, I opted to enjoy a chill weekend in my lovely city, doing anything but going to the Indy 500.

But enough about the Greatest Spectacle in Racing…I’m more interested in the greatest SPECTACLES that protect my eyes from the sun and make me look fabulous at the same time (see what I did there?). I have a bit of a sunglasses habit, and when the sun actually reappears in the spring, I start getting the urge to add more shades to my collection. I keep all my sunglasses on a wall-mounted display shelf, and a couple weeks ago it came crashing down in the middle of the night. Some might see that as a sign the shelf was too full, but not me. I see it as a desperate plea for attention: “Put more sunglasses on me!” Message received.

These are my latest pair – they’re Balenciaga (#sofancy) but I found them at Nordstrom Rack for $100. I also may or may not have ordered another fabulous designer pair on eBay that is scheduled to arrive this week! Someone build me a stronger shelf!

I knew going in to September that I would need to be more careful with this month’s shopping budget. As you may have gleaned, I don’t have a job yet. I like to think I’m handling the uncertainty pretty well – I know everything will work out eventually, but it would be nice to know HOW and WHEN. Normally I allow myself to spend any money I make through my blog on clothes, but this month my goal is to save it and use it for “real” thing. Like “bills.”

So what did your favorite blonde unemployed Hoosier lawyer, blogger, and self-proclaimed shopaholic do to quench her shameful need to have new crap all the time? She…I mean I…finally signed up for Le Tote! If you’re not familiar, I’ll give you the short version: It’s like Netflix for clothes. No, you can’t log in through your Wii and stream clothes into your closet (although that would be AMAZING…like Star Trek meets Clueless). I mean the old-school Netflix where you had DVDs shipped to you and you could keep them as long as you wanted and switch them out an unlimited number of times. That’s what you do with Le Tote – add a bunch of stuff you like to your “closet,” pay $50 a month (I paid $25 for this month because I ordered during a Labor Day promo), and receive 5 things at a time. Keep ’em for a while, or wear them and send them right back for more! You don’t have to wash them…that would be a dealbreaker, ladies.

The best slash most dangerous part is that you can purchase stuff you really like. I absolutely love this top I got in my first tote, but I’m going to be a good girl and send it back. (But I already added it back to my Le Tote “closet” so I can get it again one day!)

This isn’t a sponsored post or anything, but I thought some of you might be interested in Le Tote and maybe hadn’t heard of it yet. Well, now you have. If you do decide to try out Le Tote, I would greatly appreciate it if you sign up via my referral link so I can get a free month of service! (You’ll then be able to refer your own friends for a credit, too. It’s not some fancy blogger perk.)
