I think the most important thing to share this week (even more important than what I actually purchased) is that I feel no guilt whatsoever about my acquisitions. "Why", you ask? Well I actually set out to go shopping last Sunday. I went into the whole enterprise with my eyes wide open, it was after all, my first real shopping trip in several months, one that I knew could very well result in bringing home things I might not really “need."I did set some ground rules...
- First I could only buy something if I really loved it. And under no circumstances could I buy something that I merely "liked" just because it was deeply discounted...
- If I did buy something on sale, it had to be something I would have happily bought at full price.
- And last (and most important), I had to be able to afford it…i.e. cash only.
I came home with two tops from Anthropologie (one on sale and one full price but still very reasonable) and a white dress from the Gap that I’ve been stalking for a while (that happened to be less than half the original price.)
Guilt-free shopping aside, I’m done with buying clothes until the fall, as I really have everything I need to get me through the ridiculously hot Texas summer (aforementioned scheme notwithstanding…I’m still working on that one.) I’m counting on you guys to keep me honest here!
