Retail Therapy

Every time the weather starts to get warmer I indulge in a little retail therapy. Usually I do my therapeutic shopping alone, but then wish I had one of my mejor amigas there with me to give me a second opinion. This time I went with the hubs, which of course meant Home Depot also had to be thrown into the mix.

Luckily, I got the light fixtures I wanted for the house at the Depot and later scored some articles of clothing to refresh my wardrobe with minimal complaints about the cost from the peanut gallery; although the complaints I got were entertaining both for me and the work staff:

Cashier: "Would you like the receipt emailed to you?"
Husband: "No thanks, I don't want to be reminded of this transaction ever again."

Despite thinking "wow I should really start working out again," (possible post on fitness or lack thereof in the near future) buying new clothes incites a feeling of optimism and confidence that is much needed at this time in my life.

See below the latest stimulants of my endorphins:


Max Studio dress bought at Marshall's for $30. Woo hoo!

Acquired at Nordstrom Rack but in a brighter blue than shown below.

Jacket from Nordstrom Rack bought with the intention of wearing with the Max Studio dress above.

I saw the dress below in navy a year ago when shopping for something to wear to one of the many weddings of last season and LOVED it. It was just a little expensive, though ($248!!!) I found it in this color online this month for $62 and plan to wear it to one of this year's weddings!

I recently discovered The Polkadot Alley on Facebook and am a little obsessed with their goods. This is the first one that I actually bought and am still waiting to get it in the mail so I can see if it is as comfy as it looks. 

Happy happy. Joy joy.
