the spoils
I submit… the spoils from my weekend:
Eyeglasses - one last hurrah before the insurance sponsored by my former employer fades away at the end of this month. Now I can finally stop dealing with the ones that keep falling off my face - the ones that are two prescriptions old.
Three pairs of heels: One brown pair of classic pumps, another black - just like the brown ones. And one more black pair - slingbacks with a croc pattern on the heel and on the toe. Each pair was on sale.
A black blazer with silver pinstripes - form-fitting, just like how I like it. I hate boxy office wear! What’s the point in having a waist if I can’t show it off? This was marked down to less than a fifth of its original retail price.
A wine colored blouse from the clearance rack that fits oh-so-snug and stylishly. I got the last one!
Another blouse, this one stripey. I love the quality. Now I see why things in this store are more expensive than in other stores. This was on the 60% off rack, and I got another 10% off for a small flaw that I had the salesclerk squint to see.
Outlet shopping is nice. Name brand clothing is nice, too. It looks better on me. And for the first time since I’ve become an adult, I shopped without plodding through racks of clothes that I hated, in search for something that would just get me by. I found a lot of really great clothes that were really great deals, and the only thing that kept me from buying more was self-restraint. I’m looking forward to going back in a few weeks to see if I can pick up some more clothes. And just like this weekend, I’ll have a spending limit. I enjoyed shopping - I can’t believe it!
