Vintage on line

So a couple of months ago at HomeGoods, I found a french grey & cream dresser/buffet similar to the one in this picture, but larger. I obsessed over it for a week but you know how that place is and you better buy it when you see or it's gone, and while I debated if I should part with the $500, it disappeared.

So I went in today and they had another one. They never have another one. And so the torture begins again. While I still need a dresser, it's still $500. I'm trying to convince myself that I can recreate that look much cheaper, only I hate painting furniture.

In other news, I bought a new swimsuit at TJ Maxx today and while trying on swimsuits has always been one of my least favorite pastimes, I'd rather have all of my wisdom teeth removed without medication while simultaneously giving birth to twins utilizing natural childbirth methods, today it didn't bother me. At all. Standing under that florescent light with my size 10 (on a good day) body and I didn't even mentally beat myself up. I think this might be a sign of a new era. An era filled with self love. Don't get me wrong, my hips and thighs are still big and I could still stand to lose 10+ pounds. But. That's okay. I like me.
