I just got back from Soho. My problem with shopping is that I usually do it when I have something specific I need to buy, and then I usually don't find something and end up going home empty handed. I have trouble just spending money on things I don't actually need or don't totally love. Mostly because there isn't a lot of money to spend and that's just how I was raised. But today I needed a coat. And I knew where I wanted to go looking for it. G-Star.
The first time I went there, it was a couple months ago on my first date with Boy 1, who is pretty much out of the picture even though I'll admit, I'd be pretty excited if I did ever hear from him again. That time, I got a pair of pants on sale that I wasn't sure about at first, but now I really like them a lot. Anyway, I get there today and all the coats were on sale. Sweet. Pretty much everything in there was on sale actually. Thank you financial meltdown. So I ended up finding one and dropping over 200 bucks on it. Oops. Haha. But I needed it, and I really like it, so the money doesn't really bother me.
I actually really like being able to buy myself things like that. Things I know are way too much money to spend, but I also know are really nice. I've lately gotten into buying high-end jeans (on sale of course). Ever since that last pair I got at G-Star, actually. I remember, in high school, I thought 80 bucks was a lot for a pair of jeans at the mall. Recently though, I spent 180 on a pair from Barneys. They are by far the best jeans I've ever had. I guess that's one thing for being young and single. Disposable income. :)

Good for you, I need to go shopping myself. Hope to find a jeans also that is on sale, and I need new shoes too.
Ditto on specific shopping and only purchasing things you need and/or love. Even sweeter on sale.
It's definitely a good way to go in this economy.
I've been unemployed for about 18 months now so I haven't been able to buy any new clothes, but If I'm honest I don't need any.
I was a total shopaholic and I've still got designer clothes and shoes that I've never worn. I wish I had a job 'cause I'm in the mood for some retail therapy now lol.
Btw, I hate sales... too many people about!
Buying new clothes is always a way of making life worth... And I mean, it doesnt matter if its on sale or if its Armani, its always like changing your skin...
