Retail Therapy.

So this week has been one of those...

One of those where everyday I have worked at least two hours longer than I am scheduled, where the snow/rain has ruined my hair so I have felt yucky, where I haven't had time to eat lunch (aside from the box of Samoas at my desk), where my husband doesn't want to eat what I am craving for dinner, where my car decides that all the "service" lights on the dashboard need to go on, where I have been wearing lots of black, black, and black.

What is a solution for such a week? There is only one that I know of. It's called Retail Therapy. Certainly you are familiar with the practice? Well, I partook in said therapy yesterday. I really should have gone straight home and studied or done homework, but instead I headed to the local ROSS, as well as the Cache Valley Mall (which usually holds no promise), and they were both very very very good to me. And I needed it. And I got killer deals, including two striped dresses (one long, one short), my first floral shirt, cargo skinnies I have been longing for, and a pretty pretty necklace. All for around $40.

Although I didn't buy it yesterday, below you can see a jacket I purchased on one of my previous Retail Therapy sessions.
{jacket: 15.00 Charlotte Russe, skirt: 12.99 TJ Maxx, belt: 2.50 Forever 21, shoes: 7.50 Payless}


And boy, do I feel better now. 

-S.

  8. I love the layered skirt.
    AND sometimes participate in retail therapy of the online sort, but it's better on the credit card because I just close the window before checking out :)matters of merrymaking

  9. I love Payless's pointy-toed kitten heels! I can't find pointy toes with kitten heels hardly anywhere, but they always have a new style or two every few months. I know I wear them out quickly, but for the price, not so bad!

    You are sooo cute!

  20. Oh I hear ya! I stayed way later in my classroom every darn day this week. I started the week with some retail therapy at Target. Sounds like you found some killer deals. Makes me want to hit the stores again :)

  21. Retail therapy is the best! Also, do you live in Logan?! I love Logan. My whole family lives there. In fact, my dad was the fire chief there for like 7 years. (He just retired.) You are right though, that mall is so sad. But it has the best DI ever. It's one of my first stops every time I go up there to visit.
