# February wishlist

I've spent an insane amount of money on clothes in January. More specifically dresses. I've found so many gorgeous prints, cute cuts and frills that my wallet is suffering severely. I will have to stop shopping for a while to make up for it. I still feel like my closet is in dire need of a few basics, so I've tried to come up with a sparse list of things to look for in February.

Instead of hovering over the purchase button nonstop, saving links and be tempted to buy ahead of time, I decided to do a wishlist image - what better way to try and draw out that block I've had since Christmas? It's sketchy, quick colouring but it's sufficient I'd say :)

Wishlist # February
Tanks
I need a few basic tanks to wear under dresses. I'd love to find one in goldenrod (curry) and one in dusty blue, they'd match quite a few outfits of mine. Pretty sure I can at least find one of them in H&M!

Bag
I also found a cute yellow bag on Ebay that I think would be awesome for Spring. I really need some flashy colours to spice up my otherwise dark outfits!

Cardigan
Third, I've realised just how amazing a burgundy cardigan is. It's very easy to match to other colours, I love it together with yellow and blue. Going to try H&M, hoping to find one on sale :)

Jewellery
I'm also looking for a necklace with a blue base in a gold setting - I haven't found it yet, but it's something I've wanted to look into. I'm going to make a goldenrod ring with nail polish when I decide on the effect to be used - I'll elaborate more when I show it on here.

Belt
I'd also like a navy waist belt. Navy is kind of my colour, it's very flattering but not quite as harsh as black.

Dress
Lastly, I've fallen head over heels with this floral dress. It's creamy and features vintage looking flowers... Not usually my style, but it feels so right for Spring. It's not exactly a basic item or something I can't live without, but I'm really lusting after it. Know the feeling?

Hi and welcome to my blog.

New blog you say?
I'm Jette, also known as vettelicious. While I'm already running a nail blog, I decided to make another more personal blog - a place for my ramblings, crafts, outfits, shoplogs, makeup and most importantly; personal growth. I want to be able to look back and see how I've grown a few years from now- a lot of things is happening at the moment and I would like to be able to look back and see my progress.

About me
Living in cold and cloudy Denmark in a small village with my boyfriend of 5+ years. I love drawing and trying out all kinds of arts and crafts when the inspiration hits me. As previously mentioned, I have a nail blog. Nail art is another passion of mine, a way for me to be creative and combine it with my outfits. I'm a child at heart, collecting vintage toys and loving all things cute and vintage. Currently studying multimedia design, I don't have much money but I still love to shop and it does get out of control every once in a while. Some might see me as materialistic, I see myself as someone who enjoys the little thrills in life - like getting that dress you've been hovering over at half price!

I am currently trying to loose weight - having lost 10 kg since October 2011 I'd say I'm on my way. There's still a long way to go until I am satisfied with my BMI, but it's okay - all things to its time.

What's a Jumpersaurus?
I have a passion for cardigans, jumpers and dinosaurs! My closet is dominated by cute and comfortable cardigans, nerdy jumpers and sweet dresses. My daily outfit usually consists of a dress or tee + skirt, leggings and a cardigan. I haven't worn jeans in the past 3 years, and I'm loving it. The feminine feel of a dress is just much more comfortable, and to tell you the truth, I've always felt like a princess when I wear dresses ;) I'm a child at heart, I told you!
