So, I think Im officially a shopaholic. I mean, like for real this time. Not quite like Hillary from Fresh Prince, but uh, almost. I have been contemplating getting (another) side hustle simply to support my shopping habit, ahem, I mean, my AmEx bill. I have always been into fashion, but you know, just as a window shopper. Like "ooooh, thats perty..." But now that I can actually (kinda) afford the things I want, I am not coy about purchasing.
So, Im sitting up here thinking, "damn, I want these Adidas P.E. 2's so bad", and theyre $70 (relatively an OK price), but since yours truly is truly cheap (frugally luxe, but the operative word is frugal) I am not willing to pay that much. Anyone who knows me knows that I will find what I want for the price that I want.
So, I scour the internet (anyone who knows me knows I can find anything, and anyone on the internet...celebs too, heh) and I finally find them at Nordstrom.com, but still, $69.99 (a penny cheaper, oooh yea). But here's the aha moment: thanks to abundant AmEx spending, I have an abundant amount of AmEx rewards points, which can get me a $50 Nordstrom gift card, which will allow the kid to pay only $20 for shoes I absolutely adore Now, the fact that I was able to do all this and strategically think about how I can come up on these shoes proves that I am an shopaholic, and for that, I am ashamed.
So, while Im making confessions, I might as well lay it all out on the table:
I go online and "window shop" every night. I am addicted to this crack that we call SuperTarget (ok ok, and regular Target too....and Target Greatland). I go to Super Wal-Mart about three times a week. When I get my money from thee dreaded ex, I will spend it on these Gucci glasses that are to die for. I buy alot of sh*t off eBay (like, a whole lot). I know where the secret clearance section is in every major store in Dekalb. Well, enough of this....off to Sephora.com
