Fall Fashion Daydreaming

Now that the 100 degree weather has been traded for thunderstorms I've realized that my closet is not prepared. I went browsing through the Anthropologie website and now I'm drooling over clothes I can't possibly afford. Here are a few things I'm not sure I can live without.

Pilcro Stretch Cord Leggings: Anthropologie

I haven't worn cords since middle school when we were forced to wear uniforms. I had a pair in navy and a pair in tan, both from The Limited Too, and I loved them. I really like that these are leggings which makes them really easy to wear with boots. And speaking of boots I really need a pair in camel.

Once I find a pair of skinny cords and camel boots a little closer to my price range I can't wait to wear them on a chilly day to my favorite place in the world, Disneyland. (I have an annual pass). While I'm there I'm going to make sure I've saved enough money after my shopping spree for one of these delicious looking treats.

Now it's time for me to pick up the last minute things I need for Erin's wedding before I head off to what's sure to be a very slow day at work.

Darn you eBay

I tried buying something from eBay for the first time ever a few weeks ago. I've always been an eBay lurker, but I had never bid before. After getting hooked on fashion blogs I wanted to try out eBay to find cute clothes at  prices I wouldn't mind paying. Well eBay failed me. I tried to buy these:

The lovely gray Toms I shall not be receiving.

I wasn't sure how I felt about Toms when I first saw them. They don't look like much when you just see them sitting in a shoe store, but they seem to look pretty cute once you put your feet into them. I'm terrible with shoes. I would live in flip flops if I could (and I do for the most part) but every now and then it gets a little chilly and possibly rainy here in LA and my feet don't like being left out in the open so these seemed like the next best thing to flip flops. I thought that $44 seemed pretty steep so I checked out eBay and I came across a pair for $18.99 (score!) with 5 minutes left. I went for it. I figured I could put a bid in and then someone else would probably outbid me so it wouldn't matter much if I just wanted to test the waters. Well I was the only bidder. So I paid the $18.99 plus $10 for shipping. Then eBay sent me an email saying that the seller was suspicious and the listing had been removed for security reasons. I had to make a claim to get my money back and now it's been close to 3 weeks and I'm still waiting for either my money or my Toms. According to eBay I should get a refund in a day or two. I'm very happy that I can get my money back, but I may have lost all faith in eBay. Once I get my money back I hope to be making a trip to Nordstrom to try on a pair of Toms and at least I'll know if I like them before I pay the $44 and I'll also know that once I pay I'll be handed a shoebox with my purchase immediately after.

Does anyone have any tips for eBay shopping?
