Confessions of a Shopaholic

I had to go to this movie; Confessions of a Shopaholic last Friday, the 13th of February and it was a bit depressing, but cute (definitely a girlie movie) and predictable.

I can believe the fact that we can get ourselves in a bind using plastic and a few of us do have creditors breathing down our necks, but in todays world I must confess it has to do with just living and not living with designer clothing. Though it must be nice to wear Prada, Gucci, etc. , but the average Jill ( my female version of the average Joe) doesn't buy these name brands...more like Anne Klein, Tommy, INC, Jones of New York..yada yada yada... But never the less, these clothes can add up too. Believe me I know.

I can't deny it, I am a bit of a shopaholic..love to shop and think it is a must to have the latest look even if its one or two pieces I can mix up with last years styles. And good thing too a few of last years styles are going to be in for this spring and summer too.

I went to TJ Maxx just last night looking for some acid wash, torn skinny jeans that I posted about just yesterday. Disappointed only to find slightly torn wide leg jeans, I passed, but still left the store with a silk skirt originally priced at $188.00 discounted to $35.00, couple of tops on sale one $5.00 to go with a sweater I bought the last time and the other $13.00 a must, to go with the new skirt, oh and a top/jacket set by Jones of New York for St Pats Day originally $114.00 down $55.00. With my $10.00 coupon, all for the bargain price of $100.00

Now I know I didn't need any of that stuff and to top it off I maxed my TJ Maxx card, bummer. A lot of the time it is the anticipation, just like anything else that gives us the high about shopping. Does it replace something else missing in our lives? Does it make us feel better to turn heads and make other Jills envious? I don't know.

Keeping up with the Jills can stretch our budgets to the max. Luckily because of the economy the stores are having great sales. So even if we have to have something new to spice up our wardrobe we can find some great deals or maybe like in the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic we can find a rich man.

PS. Now I just hope that eBay doesn't sell the wardrobe from the movie, cause that would be bad:(
