I have always had a slight problem with shopping. At one point in time my parents seriously considered sending me to therapy. I told them they were the crazy ones. I never got myself into money problems with my self-proclaimed shopping addiction, but I just love buying new things. When I’m having a shitty day, buying a new outfit or accessories made me feel a million times better. Retail Therapy bitches. I was never a spoiled little brat that got everything I ever asked for. I’ve been working since the age of 12 with babysitting jobs for my neighbors, then graduated to the glamorous world of waitressing. I always had my own stash of dough and what better way to spend it than buying clothes.
Since I stopped working I must justify my shopping desire to my husband with phrases like – “I just had a baby!! I have NO clothes that fit me anymore!!” or “My ass got bigger since the baby-it won’t fit into my pants!!”. Those worked until I dropped back down to my pre-baby weight. Then I used the excuse that I’ll only shop at Forever21 (he’s fully aware I can get like 5 bangin’ outfits for 50 bucks). I’ve never been much of a tag/name-brand whore. I always hunt for great sale deals if I’m shopping anywhere besides Forever which is usually rare (I should really buy stock in that shit). But it SUCKS having to answer to him like he’s my dad. I guess that is one of the things I gotta get used to if I wish to continue staying at home with the anti-social baby.
With that being said….I spend mucho hours online ‘browsing’. I scout out the deals then plot my plan of action. I’m all about sexy-comfort these days so I’m really digging this kind of shirt:
And this one too – especially when it gets a little cooler:
Both would look great with a pair of jeans or shorts and some really cute sandals or flats. AND they are on sale. Double score. Guess I will be cashing in on my payback from Saturday night!
