Shop, Shop, Shopaholic
Hello, many name is Kat and um…I’ve been a bit of a shopaholic lately.
I honestly don’t know what’s come over me. Yesterday after hitting up Costco for some drinks for the hubby, I decided to head over to the new outdoor mall, the Americana. In less than 2 hours, I managed to spend $100 or so on, um, stuff. I bought three lightweight tees (all on sale, not bad); a hook, a cookbook and a bowl from Anthropologie; and a small strainer, a pairing knife, two bamboo cooking utensials and a new timer from Sur la Table.
This doesn’t count the dish soap I bought from eBay (finally found my matching scent from William Sonoma). Or the um, books I recently bought off of Amazon. Yeah, yeah, I know, I don’t need the books, but one was for business and the other for book club.
And now I keep thinking about this necklace and pair of earrings that I also saw at Anthropologie. I think I must have them. Do I need them? Hell no. Do I want them? Oh yeah baby! So pretty. So feminine. So casual yet dressy. So perfect. So mine.
Guess where I’ll be going sometime in the next few days? At least I was able to walk away from the $50 flip flops (yes, FLIP FLOPS!!) at JCrew. Give me some credit please. Just please don’t tell my husband

If it’s on sale, it’s excusable. If it’s from Anthropologie, it’s excusable. (I lurve Anthropologie but haven’t yet managed to buy anything from though I very much want to.)

Siz - I know, I just can’t see myself spending $50 for flipflops. Last year I was dying for a pair I saw at Nordsrtom and I think they were $80 and I just couldn’t do it. No matter how much my friend tempted me.
Jennifer - I used my recyclable shopping bag that I keep in my purse AND bought bamboo utensils. That’s got to count for SOMETHING!! And yes, I forgot about the purse since I bought it for my Ireland trip in November…doesn’t count yet
Curly - I’m better at Costco than at Target. Though thankfully, I can no walk in and out of both of them without purchasing a thing. Go me! Used to be Target cost me $100 each visit. That stopped in grad school when I had some major debt and creditors knocking.
Michelle - I guess I should just be thankful that I don’t actualy FIT in Anthropologies clothes or they might be a bigger weakness. Their tees are sooo soft. I’m also lucky in that their stores usually require paid parking of one sort or another out here so I don’t go all that often.
