Confession of a Shopaholic 2

Confession of a Shopaholic 2



On February 15th I wrote my first Confessions of a Shopaholic article about my search for a pair of acid-wash ripped jeans. The pair I really wanted was on my post Fashion: The Skinny Jean for Spring 2009. Unfortunately these jeans are very hard to find in my area. Those of you in New York, Chicago or LA will probably have a better time finding them.

Last Sunday, February 22nd, I rushed to Macys for a ½ hour power shop before they closed. In there Junior Department I found some Roxy Brooks Destroyed jeans….there were none in the misses departments. Went to INC for a top and headed to the dressing room with minutes to spare. When it came to checking out my card didn’t work (another story), so I ran out to my car to get my other one and when I came back they were cashing out their registers. So disappointing.

And yet so determined….ok so there is a chance I have a shopping obsession or Oniomania. (Oniomania is from Greek onios = "for sale," mania = insanity it is a medical term for the compulsive desire to shop. Oniomania is the technical term for the compulsive desire to shop, more commonly referred to as compulsive shopping, compulsive buying, shopping addiction or shopaholism.)…. the very next day I went to another Macys and of course they didn’t have the same pair of jeans, but similar and a size smaller.



I tried them on with the same INC top as yesterday, plus a dress that was 30% off (originally 79.00), a cute top that was discounted to $17.00 and a tank for $10. Even though I wasn’t satisfied with the jeans I bought them thinking I could take them back to the original Macys and switch them, as they were the same price. With a 20% coupon all items totaled $148.00





But….on my way down the mall, I spotted some Boyfriend 77 Destroyed jeans in American Eagle Outfitters window display. So I tried some on and they were $8.00 less then the Macys pair and more my size. Back I went to Macys and returned the first pair. Luckily I had the same cashier and she completely understood.

My guy really liked my holey jeans and we ended up going out for the night and had a really good time.

Now if I could only find those fab shoes she is wearing…………..
