Shopping Blues - A Rant

Posted on 12:00 by mark khandry
I have been a tremendously good girl this year. Although I spent last winter buying a lot of clothes (due to having a lot of cash :P), when things were tight this spring and summer I didn't get a single thing. My secret? DON'T GO SHOPPING (even if you don't plan to buy anything, when you see that great deal - let's be honest, some of these are really great deals - you won't be able to resist. Stay away!) and try not to pay attention to what is "in" (not that this blog is really helping you in that area! lol).

Over the past month I have picked up 4 items (1 skirt, 1 jacket and 2 shirts - all of which are classics that can be worn for 3 seasons out of the year) - remind me to take pictures of them to show you! But following this awesome new trend of fun colors in accessories nearly caught up with me yesterday.

I was searching for images on Polyvore when I found these shoes by Xhilaration, available at Target for twenty bucks. I think I went crazy.



Not only are they one of my favorite shoe styles, but they're in the totally trendy and yet truly pretty "teal and brown" colors. I ran off to Target as soon as I could. After trying them on, the battle began.

The Pros: you haven't bought fun shoes in at least 6 months / they would look so great for concerts / they're the perfect style and color / you really could use a new pair of winter-ish shoes.

The Cons: you don't really need them - you can wait another 6 months / you don't have extra money right now / they looked better online and feel kinda plastic-y / your foot only fit in the size 10 when you usually wear a 9. :0

I didn't get them. Oh! Alack and forsooth!

LOL. It was the right decision. Upon arriving home, with my head a bit clearer, I remembered quite a few other things that are more desperate on my list of wants and needs - getting the shoes would have set me back for a while, even at that fabulous price.

But this doesn't mean that YOU can't get them. For me. For Christmas. I told you my shoe size and everything, so you're all set... ;)
