A True Woman's Dream and Nightmare

Well shit. It seems we have a problem here. Either I post once and am excessively delinquent in posting again or I post once and attack my blog three days later with another post. Perhaps I'm just trying to make up for my large lack of self discipline for the past two months. Perhaps I just have time on my hands and this seems like some productive use of my time.

Oh who am I kidding, nothing I choose to do is a productive use of my time. Productivity would be doing dishes or laundry, vacuuming, getting ready for work, or the like. But you know me, I like to complain about effort and spend all my time being a lazy bum. But then I complain about my own laziness and say I should be doing something. It is a god damn vicious circle, but I love it.

On to the post, I suppose then. While the titles of these may be getting more and more obscure for you, I promise they still make sense to me. The true woman (mainly in a man's eyes) is essentially a shopaholic. And thereby when I speak of a true woman's dream AND nightmare I do mean shopping. It is a dream because new things always make us feel better, but it is a nightmare because it is a complete waste of money.
I say this, but then I go out and buy silly little things whenever I can. And then I don't even wear half of my clothes. Sometimes I wish I could go on What Not to Wear and just get $5,000 for a new wardrobe. But then again, I actually dress well (most of the time) so no one would nominate me. :'(  Sadness. C'est la vie.

Shopping. I could probably ramble on for hours about it. My favorite stores, finding good deals, my ability and inability to do it, credit cards, etc. It just wouldn't end. But let's try to fit all of that nonsense into one reasonably sized blog post, shall we?

STORES
As far as the spendier ones go, I'm a fan of Maurices. I also like Deb and DOTS, and my absolutely new favorite TJ Maxx. The reasons for these picks are really simple. Cute clothes out the wazoo. As far as the more reasonable stores - I enjoy Target. There's usually quite a wonderful selection available, especially this time of year. They're bringing out the summer-y things and they are adorable! Designers have had MONTHS to work on them so they're just amazing. **I strongly advise against shopping at Walmart. The clothes may be cheap, but it's because they are of a shit-tay quality**

DEALS
I seem to suck at finding them, but I know someone who is the ultimate savvy shopper. Nikolai Jaux is just the best shopper I've met. She can winterize the ultimate summer outfit and find kick ass boots for $15 when they should be $50. I mean, if you want advice, which I do (and desperately need), talk to her. She is one of my 3 followers so just hit her up. Or I can do it for ya. Whatever floats your boat.

ABILITY/INABILITY
I never have money. And when I do, there's nothing that I want (other than books). Therefore I never buy anything. :'(

CREDIT CARDS
Okay, these bad boys are just what they are. Bad boys. Avoid them for as long as you can. They can get you in trouble very easily.
I know everyone says they'll just use it when they need it and pay it all off right away. I know, I said that too. That was before I had a $500 credit limit and there was shit I wanted to buy. Credit cards are just trouble. They don't make life easier in ANY way.
Credit cards are like drugs.
Just.
Say.
No.

Okay. Don't want to end this on a weird or telling-you-what-to-do note so really trying to fit in another joke here. Running out of time. No ideas coming to mind. Fuck. I suck at being funny. That's it. I give up.

One last little tip. I heard this on a commercial, but it's good advice. Every time you buy something new, you have to get rid of something else. (A good way to avoid clutter as well!)

Post again soon (I HOPE)!!!!!!!!!!
