What are you waiting for in the mail?

No UPS man yet, but I'm anxiously tapping my foot waiting for these shoes to arrive. I fell in love with the gorgeous, unique milk chocolate latte color and hope the color is as rich in person. I ordered these over 2 weeks ago and still no shoes. UPS ground takes forever. Ugh.

What are you expecting in the mail and share pictures if you'd like!

The dress I waited for weeks to go on sale, and only saw it go down a dollar lol. Finally just said to heck with it and bought it, but now the waiting feels like an eternity!

Those shoes look fun!

@Mo - A $1?! Wow that is the worst sale ever! Dress looks perfect for summer though, so glad you pulled the trigger. Wonder what their next markdown will be - $2.18?! *laughs*

@Taylor - I thought you'd like those! And yes, I almost knock the UPS man over when I see him. I wasn't sent a tracking number so I am left in suspense.

@Aida - Ooooh peacock feathers - nice! As you can see, I don't like peacock feathers at all.

Two workout DVDs from Collage Video - does that count?

Someone blogged about these Franco Sarto wedge sandals recently and I've been thinking about them, but not pulled the trigger yet. http://www.dsw.com/shoe/franco.....Ref=SEARCH

Hah! I really love them too, but I don't have much with them (yet). Just a pendant, and soon this top, and ooh I need to get some earrings too *list...* They just have all the best and most perfect colors in them

NK

Those shoes are GORGEOUS!! I'd be climbing the walls waiting for those!

@Laura - You should totally order the shoes. Just sayin'...;)

My UPS man came earlier today and dropped off a box from Sephora. I got the Urban Decay Naked palette, a glass nail file, and a bunch of samples.

So exciting!

@Laura - Yes, those count! It doesn't have to be fashion related, although I guess workout DVD can be fashion related.

@Aida - I don't have many fashion related peacock items, but as you mentioned, it is the colors that I adore. A perfect spectrum of green, teal, turquoise, blue, cerulean, indigo, violet, and purple splashed with a slight shimmer. Plus, they always make me think of the zoo when I was a kid. There were uncaged peacocks that roamed the grounds, and I'd chase after them like a loon.

@NK - Great picks! I have and love the Naked palette. It is now my go-to travel palette - it is so versatile. I also have the glass nail file, but in purple.

I can't wait! The poor UPS man is going to be battered after we both knock him over.

Several things I just ordered from Piperlime, including:

These straight leg white jeans which are now on sale (as, I think, all white jeans should be):

This dress--I didn't realize it had shoulder pads when I purchased it, so this could be REALLY hit or miss:
http://piperlime.gap.com/brows.....cale=en_US

What I've been looking for since spring--a brightly colored blazer. I can't tell if the shape will work, but I thought it was worth a try:

I bought a little brown dress from the Gap

It's been so long I don't remember what it looks like! Aside from the fact it's brown

Something just came for me- a cream colored linen shift dress from Loft. I like it, it's a keeper- great for hot days, but it's not on the website anymore, so no picture.

My last purchase before I started SYC. It's coming from Canada, and the seller warned me it might take a little while...

Vests...of all things! I must be craving fall and transitional weather with all this heat.

Have no idea how these are going to work, but I ordered them on impulse to give them a try:

Let's see. Several pairs of dress pants from Banana Republic (replenishing my work wardrobe). Also a plain black pencil skirt (work wardrobe again) and this top in "Red Wine" from Ann Taylor.

I am waiting for 4 different white/cream petite blazers. I know it's crazy but they just don't seem to be working out for whatever reason. Two that I wanted were sold out in my size. Two were huge even in the smallest size. Two were defective. I am not having any luck with light colors these days! Hope at least one of these works!

I just ordered the black Gap skinnies that Angie wore in her blog post a few days ago. I couldn't get a good fit in the store so I went online where I could order a long inseam in the correct size.

Also ordered my fiance some new jeans from Gap and a new jacket from BR. I like shopping for men too. Is that weird?

Oh, I just found a replacement for my drapey shrug that recently died:

At 50% off the sale price, I couldn't resist (even with shipping).
Hopefully, this will last longer than my cheapie Ross version did. It has cashmere in it- Yum!~

Those Valentino shoes are works of art

I bat for Team Store so no packages await my hot little hands.
