I got the Monday off for veteran days,
but I couldn't focus on my college apps or study for my upcoming tests
because I developed a disease know as "I need to shop." It's serious
business to my wallet and my mental well being, no joke. I'm not usually
one to spend, but I blew the hundies off... even though I should have
been saving up to pay for my parking ticket. Maybe I should have waited
for Black Friday or Cyber Monday for those deals deals deals and sales
sale sales, but clothes are just so tempting when you know that they
won't be there the next time you come back. I just wish everything in
the world, clothing wise, was uniform, so I could just wear the same
clothes everyday and everybody would be twins! But any who, getting to
the main squeeze, I spent my Sunday Night in old town taking in the
beautiful night lights and enjoying that cool Cali breeze... but them
legs of mine just walked to Forever 21; I had no control, I was
forced... but dang, my closet back home is going to be one happy girl.
Here is a quick look of them goodies that I snagged up:
I hunted the store grounds for roughly 3 hours until closing time; but
I'm disappointed that I only looked through half their sale section
cause everything was an additional 50% off. I had the mindset of going
back the next day to finish where I ended... but I didn't know if it was
worth the gas and miles when a new Forever 21 just opened in my city,
but that story will come along just a little further down this post. I
ended up with a big yellow bag filled with 3 cardigans, 3 tanks, 2
shirts, and a tube top for a total of about $70. Believe it or not the 2
shirts cost me $35 and my heart bled a little when they were scanned
because everything else was half off. Outfits for these will be posted
soon hopefully, once I finish all my school work and exams :( Oh the
life of a senior.
Waking up in bed as a human popsicle, snuggled up with my teddy under
the blankets, I proceeded to yelp local thrift stores to spend my day
off wisely. As mentioned earlier, I was planning to revisit the Forever
21 I was at the previous night, so I told myself that I might as well
look at the thrift stores around that area that was walking distance in
order to save gas. I got up and dressed for the chilly morning that
eventually turned into a heatwave after my arrival at my designated
destination, but thank goodness for nightfall where temperatures dropped
and my outfit became weather appropriate. Here's a little outfit of the
day for you little cuties:
During my journey, I
ended up going to two different
Goodwills and broke my Salvation Army virginity in such an embarrassing
way. The doors on the side of the store had no handles so I assumed it
was automatic; I proceeded to stand there expecting the doors to open
but they didn't. Confused, I awkwardly began pushing
at the doors and this little girl inside was just staring at me,
shaking her head, and refusing to open the door for a newbie like me;
maybe the store was closed or something was what I thought. I then took a
step back in despair, and
looked ahead because the future is always brighter, and it was! I
noticed that the entrance was on the other side after seeing people walk
out from the lot with bags filled with clothes; red
faced, I power walked inside hoping to fulfill my shopping lust.
Spending 3 hours of my beautiful day thrifting I snagged up a bunch of
dark hues hoping to match the upcoming winter season:
Might I say WOWWEE? All of this for roughly $35?! Yeah that's right you
heard me correctly, the joys of thrifting reside in the beautiful finds
at such low prices... a true shopping heaven. Happy with my purchases, I
came home delighted with three beautiful plastic bags possessing 3
pairs of high waisted shorts, a pair of jeans, a pair of pants, a
bodycon and a maxi skirt, a sweater, a button up, and a tank top.
Considering the amount of time I spent, I decided against my wishes of
going to Forever 21 due to a fixed schedule. I was resisting the
temptation of going, but I wanted to keep my wallet filled with the very
few Washingtons' I had left, my parking cheap, and most importantly I
couldn't miss my appointment. I believe I had a very expensively spent
weekend... but I needed this therapy.
