I love to shop. It’s not really a big reveal, especially to
anyone who knows me personally. You see, shopping is like an art; you go in to
a store with an idea of what you are looking for and slowly, sometimes
involving many different shops, you piece together that look or idea.
So many options! |
The item that is hardest for me to shop for is a purse. I am
really indecisive when it comes to bags. There are so many options and what if
you don’t get the best one? What if the black one is more versatile than the
nude? Do I want to go with a cross body, or a clutch? The decisions you have to
make are endless. And the more expensive and high end the bag, the longer it
takes for me to come to a final result. Yet, with all the stress and thought
that goes into purse shopping, it is by far my favorite thing to shop for! I
love bags and somehow manage to convince myself every few months that I need
another one.
I know some people who hate to shop, and while I don’t
understand that concept, I do take it under advisement when out with them.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not out shopping 24/7. Money doesn’t grow on trees
(well, it does, but you know what I mean) but if I have that bit of extra
cash, or I’ve had a particularly stressful day, a good trip to the mall or one
of my favorite stores always seems to do the trick.
While I love shopping for myself, I enjoy shopping for
others even more! Holiday and birthday shopping is so much fun (and I must say
that I give excellent gifts). When I was younger I’d give cute homemade gifts
or small little knick knacks, but since I started bringing in my own revenue,
I’ve upped my gift giving standards substantially.
There are of course those purchases that you wish you could
bring yourself to ring up, but I’ve learned that sometimes it's better to wait
and save up your money than to buy something on impulse.
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving Break and that you
enjoy your holiday shopping that is soon to come!
They are soo cute! But do you really need a Gecko, Jenna... I think not. |
