I Hate Shopping!
So all my girl friends love to shop -- well I don't. I'll admit I like new clothes and good knows I need some. Unfortunately, the act of picking them out, trying them on, and paying for them is my least favorite activity.
Why? For starters, I have body issues. And because of this, I am very particular on the fit, style and color of things. And to top it off I am tall and thin -- something most of America is not -- so finding things in my size is always hard. Shopping feels like a chore to me!
Oh, and lets just face it, I am cheap to boot! I can't see spending large sums of money on clothing. Seriously, jeans should not cost over $100. I like a nicely tailored outfit, but labels don't impress me much.
So there I was yesterday shopping for a bathing suit. I know, summer is almost over, so why find a suit now...Well I was hoping to find a good sale. Fortunately, I did. After much hemming and hawing I walked away with three new suits. All for the price of one (I do love a bargain).
At the store I was greeted by the designer, you got to love boutiques in NYC for that fact alone. I know my tastes are fairly plain - and black will always be my "color" of choice. But some how I was persuaded into buying green and Hawaiian print suits as well. These suits probably won't see the light of day, but I like knowing I have options.
I know my tastes aren't all bad, but my wardrobe does need some updating. Perhaps I should be a charity case on "What Not To Wear" -- I could do some damage with my personal shoppers and a $5000 debit card.
