Retail Therapy.... again....

I'm not a big shopper. And when I say that, I mean I don't like to go to the mall and walk around trying on clothes 'til I find the right thing(s).

But the internet... it brings shopping to a whole new level.

In addition, for a long time I had to pinch my pennies so tightly that I rarely bought something just because I loved it. And when I did... it was books, not clothes.

Since we've been dealing with the shitty stuff in the last six months or so, I find myself indulging in retail therapy when I feel disappointed. (And I'm lucky that, as long as it's not a very regular practice, we can afford it...)This week was a disappointment... so I splurged on something I've had my eye on for months... It's handmade, and being shipped from S. America, so it's pretty pricey (at least for me)... but I did it. In fact, I ordered it custom so that it would be just right.

So without further ado....I can't wait to get it. It will be perfect for those bad days when I just want to bundle up and hide from the world, but have to go out in spite of that.
