Stuff I Want

You know how you go out shopping sometimes with no agenda and then you just buy whatever catches your fancy? That is the most fun shopping experience. No expectations means no letdowns. But it also means that you might end up buying another black top and more dark denim jeans to add to the plethora already hanging in your (read "my") closet. So, sometimes it's good to have a loose list of things that you need to fill in holes in your wardrobe or home decor.

I have, in the past, made a spreadsheet of things that I need and broken them down into categories, like "clothes", "housewares" and "make-up". Why? Because I am uptight and outta sight.

And, ok, full disclosure...I actually have a spreadsheet going right now.

What's on my Stuff I Want spreadsheet? So glad you asked... Well, for clothes, I have comfy shoes listed, obviously. But since comfy shoes are not in the cards at the moment, some other items that I want are a black merino wool turtleneck, short every-day wool coat with a hood (chocolate brown or other neutral), another wool cape, patterned or colored pants (like houndstooth check for pattern or dark green or grey for color) and comfortable yet stylish going out tops. (Phew, I need to update the clothing list for spring!) For housewares, we desperately need a new coffee table and I would like some tea light holders from Crate and Barrel to make a "tablescape" for the dining room table. In make-up, I am very curious about this FiberWig mascara. Does it really look like false eyelashes? Hard to tell without buying it!

What kind of stuff do you want? And, do you have any type of list that you keep, a mental list, or perhaps an Access database?
