the post in which I confess…shopping–

with No Comments

First a bypass into workout clothes–honestly I am really relaxed in this category…I have been wearing much the same stuff for the last three years. This may be the hardest category for me not to buy new. I have been getting fitter and losing what was left of the chemo weight. So some of my workout stuff is big–luckily some of it also has drawstring waists so I just cinch them tighter. I am a fan of certain brands but mostly I have things from one company who’s ex owner and I have differing opinions about cancer and life. I will not name it but you probably know what I am talking about. I know I can do three months but after that I may have to buy, at the very least, some pants!  Maybe not–the more I think about this the more excited I am.

Prior to making my plan I bought my running shoes for the next six- eight months–I found a pair I liked and bought three pairs. I don’t usually do that but honestly, companies keep discontinuing the shoes I like and I just got sick of it!

So I think I bought a dress for our event. I bought it from Bloomingdales, it is a great basic and will show off our pink ribbons quite nicely. I bought shoes as well on sale from Banana for 40% off. Then I drifted but only slightly. Last year when I was shopping to make sure I didn’t show up everywhere looking like a wife/mom/writer in my standard jeans, boots, shirts combo I bought a dress and jacket in this gorgeous green slightly to a teal but I have had no shoes. I could always have worn it with black but it didn’t seem right. Again off to Banana Republic and bought, again 40% off beige almost nude suede heels. Both shoes cost about the price of one good pair. A total of 160. I still think most of the prices of shoes these days are ridiculous but you do get what you pay for too. So I bargain hunt. Now I have that done. I will continue to browse the dresses for the event but not with the same worry just with the joy in knowing that if I decide to buy something else I can return this one.  I had to come clean.

Here we are heading into that time of year. Expect many posts and pictures regarding my support of early detection.
