On Sunday morning I found myself very disgruntled. Apparently maintaining over the holidays isn’t the only thing I haven’t done in a long, long, long time. (PS – Thanks for helping me not feel so alone. I KNOW I can do this! Mwah!)

As I was saying, I found myself staring at a closet full of quite the outdated fall wardrobe. I’m talking shirts from my college days that just hit the top of my jeans or sweaters made for a pregnant body. Um, yeah. Not happening.

What else was there to do than hit up the outlet malls later that afternoon?

We only went into four different stores, but still managed to spend way too much money. Peter needed some new work clothes. We both needed new shoes. And I needed to revamp my fall tops. Okay perhaps more of a want than a need, but still.

I made out with a dozen shirts I LOVE, two new pairs of ballet flats, and a new stylish jacket. Looking schnazzay now!

Well, I would look schnazzay if I decided to do my hair.

Besides the new clothes thing, I also had fun playing with something else new.

Peter’s old phone went caput, so he had to do the upgrade thing. We figured if we’re locking ourselves into a new contract with his new phone, then we both might as well get an upgrade – the new Samsung Galaxy S2.

I had been using an old iPhone Peter got free from a friend and loved it. But this phone…ohhh, I love LOVE it! It’s so light and thin and easy to use. And Google friendly. And has a big screen. And NO iTunes to hassle with! And the best thing of all to me – a better camera.

I am having way too much fun playing with it.

Yep. I’m in love. Things got a little “spendy” around here with the phones and clothes and new washer/dryer, but it fit the “fun money” budget, so it works. It may not look it, but we’re very mindful with our money. You know I’m a stickler for a budget, but you gotta live a little too. And not in maternity sweaters at almost a year post-partum.

• Do you make “fun purchases” on a regular basis or do a bigger “spree” more sporadically? We don’t buy “extras” often at all, but 2-3 times a year we will do a bit more fun shopping than normal.

Hey y'all! I haven't been feeling too well. So instead of a regular post for you, I have something a little fun. Hope you all have a great day and I hope to be back to normal by tomorrow.

You may recall my hitting up the gym last Friday for a yoga class. I didn’t tell you something special about that yoga class, though.

I rocked it out in a new top from the great workout gear company 4all by jofit.

I tried out the Sleeveless Jo-Polo in yoga class and then wore it on a trip to the park later in the day. Yet another piece from the company that looks classy enough to go from gym wear to hang out wear perfectly. In other words, my kind of clothes.

What’s also my kind of thing? Supporting a good cause.

Joanne Clark, the founder of 4all, has a personal connection to breast cancer, as her sister battled the disease twice. For that reason, every Windsor Jo-Polo or Sleeveless Jo-Polo shirt purchased in the Pink Blush color during the month of October will go to supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

In addition to their kindness in donating the proceeds of purchases, 4all is also showing their kindness to you all with a special giveaway!
