Anything But Gray

Trivial & superficial.

I have a major, major shopping problem.
Well, truthfully my self-control and responsibility are in check so I don't know that you'd call it a problem, really.
But how much I love to shop is not normal…
I don't know if I've posted this on here or not, but I have an analogy for shopping. You know how you feel after good sex? That totally blissful, content, you just want to curl up and sleep feeling? That's how I feel when I come home with bags after shopping. That is honestly the kind of feeling I get. So not normal and I am not even ever going to try to analyze that.
I think when we get back to civilization and normal shopping malls and stores, my husband is screwed.
I am so a recreational shopper. It is, indeed, a sport. If hunting gets to be called a sport than I seriously do not see how shopping is not. It's so the same concept. We hunt, we stalk our prey and we capture it. See? Totally a sport.
Anyway, I have a couple pairs of boots that I have been wanting forever. Since, like, last winter. Luckily (depends on your point of view…) they haven't gone completely out of style yet. Now they aren't trendsetting by any means, but they aren't outdated, either. And quite frankly, I don't care anyway. Being on top of trends has never been a priority to me. As long as my clothes are in the right decade, I'm good. I have no desire to spend ridiculous amounts of money on clothes that last one season. So not into that, at all.  Especially given where I have lived the majority of my adult life….

So this is what I have been looking at.

Sweater boot
Sweater boot
Slouch boots
Slouch boots

I want the sweater ones in white and the slouch ones in gray.
Aren't they awesome??
I want them.
Bad.
Really, really bad.

This is when it totally sucks that I don't get paid for my job.

Ha!!

I actually like having wish lists and shopping carts at online stores, full of stuff…
I actually find some enjoyment in just window shopping…:-)
And I just thought I'd share my latest obsession.

Oh and a disclaimer…(mostly for my mom since she thinks I am so spoiled)
Lest anyone think that this is some sneaky way to get my husband to buy me these. He hasn't been to my blog in months. I think I bored him or something so he doesn't come read it anymore…
So there…lol.

tah!

    LOL

    I know, I’ve thought of that too and I’m so torn. 

    They probably are going to get so dirty…but I love the white. I know I
    should be sensible, but I just so love the white. 😦

    Plus, I figure I won’t be wearing them in really deep snow, no way…so maybe
    it won’t be so bad. That is so wishful thinking…they are going to get
    gross. See and that sucks because that will make me not wear them as much, if I’m worried about getting them dirty. lol

    Hmm..maybe I’ll have to rethink the white. Or figure out how to clean the
    sweater part? How would you clean that? Now I’m seriously curious…lol.

    By the way, I’ve got a problem with shopping also. Can’t seem to stop when I should and I understand how it feels… :)

    I so know how you feel about not being able to find things in the place where you live. Although my problem isn’t weather…it’s just a lame ass town that apparently doesn’t think people want to dress fashionably. <rolling eyes>I saw these boots at Victoria’s Secret, online. I lived in Florida for 2 years and that’s a part of it I didn’t like. I couldn’t wear my cool winter coats and boots.That’s something ebay is really, really handy for. Reselling when you buy something you shouldn’t or don’t really need. Ebay=guilty reliever. ha!!
