While Im still wearing the same old dress, my heart has come alive

Filed under: — alisa @ 6:15 pm

I realized the other day how small my shopping world was. Im a GAP girl by nature, but lately I have been venturing else where. You all know of my new love of Kohl’s. When someone mentioned that she found cute jeans at JC Penny I went to see if this was really true. I think every jeans everywhere hate me. I will spare you yet another jean rant, but its true. But I did find a cute new shirt and some work shirts. I realized in JC Penny that I dont tend to wonder too far from the GAP type stores. Old Navy is another favorite. But yet I adore Kate Spade, Coach, and things of that nature. Mind you, I dont make big bucks (dont let the name Starbucks fool you) so my taste doesnt allow me to every empty my bank account on one outfit (as fun as that would be). Ive been cruising eBay lately for name brand things. When did I turn into a name brand type girl? I was in Ross the other day seeing if they had my red dishes for cheap when I happened to pass by the shoe section. A cute pair of Steve Maddens screamed my name. I answered their call and put my feet in them. Too big. I carried them around with me while shopping, knowing I wouldnt buy them, I just wanted them. I thought, why do I want these? They dont fit. The name, I liked the name on them. Jason asked the other day if he got my a purse every year for my birthday if Id be happy. Visions of Kate Spade danced in my head. Yes, Id be a very happy girl. Does that make me shallow?

    No, it doesn’t make you shallow at all, because if I say yes, then that means I’m shallow too ;) I saw THE CUTEST Coach bag in Nordstrom the other day, for a pretty price of $148. Considering my current purse was oh…$10…I don’t think I can quite justify that. But still…the longing…and I can’t even go into the Kate Spade store or else it just makes everything I own seem pathetic and shoddy. :lol: I’m glad I have a kindred spirit!
