I have not been shopping recently due to a wonderful revelation. While on vacation, living out of one suitcase for 10 days I realized something. I am happy living a simple life. In fact, simplicity brings a very serene feeling about yourself. I have SO much to be grateful for, and so many things, such an abundance of 'stuff', that I don't need to keep getting more. I should be satisfied with what I have, and what I have is beyond plenty. I would rather save my $ for trips and memories, and not spend it every weekend on the latest color of skinny jeans and matching accessories. This being said, I haven't really had that urge to shop, and I have managed to save some money. Over the past month I have realized just how much I have pilfered away at the mall and Starbucks, so depressing.
But...this weekend I got the itch, and I did go out, and it was EXPENSIVE. Saturday was nails and spa pedicure + full hair color and cut. Plus, I left the salon with about $50 of product. Ouch. Sunday came, and my sis and the kids came out my way, so we headed to the mall....and....I couldn't help myself. I picked up a couple of light weight spring sweaters, a pair of flats, a couple of T's and a cute shirt for K, with a coupon, all for around $30 at Old Navy. I hit the Gap with my sister and we found the most amazing sequins tote and clutch. I bought the tote for myself and surprised my sis with the clutch. She deserves it. Being a mom she would NEVER buy something glamorous for herself, so I got it for her! :) After the mall, went to Target and found this hippie chic satin dress with the cutest pink stripe. Will be a fun rotation for spring. I also got a few other items but got too lazy to take photos. I guess I m off the wagon, but planning to jump right back on. And now I have a few cute things to save for Vegas which is coming in about 3 weeks.
Happy Tuesday my loves!!
