Then, the light bulb went off in my head. I realized that if I would
get one great pair of jeans instead of three lesser quality pairs even if they were on sale, I
would end up having a better pair that will last longer, and I would spend
less. How could I not think of this earlier?!
From then on, my shopping habits have changed. I stopped checking
out the sale racks all together to avoid the temptation, and substituted
quantity with quality. That way, my closet became less crowded, and I started
hanging there much nicer clothing items. And my bank account loved it too.
The night did not work out the way I hoped - no one could
watch Alex, so we ended up playing games on iPad the entire evening. Fun, but
not exactly fancy – I spent Friday night in my sweats.
I was in luck, though - there were sales everywhere, so I
thought to make an exception to my rule and, voila, consider therapy 25% off.
Love, love, love fashion this season – fun colors, relaxing
shapes, lightweight and soft fabrics, dresses everywhere!
But do you ever try on clothes that you know don’t fit you? I do all the time.
Maybe I like to frustrate myself, but that day I tried many ankle length dresses that are in this season and … don’t look good on me. Being 5’3” and having 32DD size of you know what, the dresses did not flatter my body. I felt fat and that was not therapeutic at all. As I left the dressing room, I saw a familiar bright red on the sales racks. Oh, No!!! My fun red dress was on sale 40% off! That is quite a chunk of money! Didn’t I feel stupid.
To save the day, I went upstairs to the shoe department –
shoes never make me look fat!
The retail therapy session turned out to be 40% off…
With love always,
