Hi everyone,

So the universe, in the form of in-law obligations, apparently wants me to keep my NAS shopping in check this year. We're going out of town in a few days and won't be back until the weekend after next. Which means that I can't really take advantage of ordering too much for now unless I want a giant pile of packages sitting at my door for ages. And which also means I don't have much time to shop in person, with all the packing and tying up loose ends at work that I need to do. (Should probably be packing now, in fact. But am I? Of course not.)

I did at least have a chance to quickly take a look around. Since I only had about an hour and I'm not great at making quick decisions on anything big-ticket, the only things I bought were a few "obvious" items I knew I could use. A Zella running top and capris, a burgundy version of a bra I already own and like (my straps tend to peek out sometimes despite my best intentions, so this one will at least blend with my wardrobe), and some amethyst studs.

So that's what I've bought so far. There are a bunch of other things I have my eye on. I'll probably do an order later on so things will get here once I'm actually back. Since I could maybe have a neighbor watch for one or two packages while I'm away and hold onto them for me (I wouldn't want to do much more than that because that could get annoying, and probably also forever make me known as That Neighbor With All the Shopping), I'm also wondering if there's anything I should pull the trigger on right now so it doesn't sell out. I'll put things I'm considering in the next post so this once doesn't get hugely long.
