There it is...the hidden purchase. My guilty pleasure. The dress I had bought a few weeks ago (ROSS $22.95) and later felt guilty for spending money on a dress I had no ocassion to wear it to or any reason why I HAD to get it, other than the fact that I wanted it! I felt guilty about it and left it in the bag and put it in a corner of my closet. I think I wanted it out of my sight for a while so I wouldn't feel so guilty about it. It is not even my style of dress. I hate halter tops and would have to find a cardi to wear over it to hide my hideous arms. Ughh...This is not my first offense either, I have another dress also hidden away and some high-heel boots I have stashed away. Same situation, the dress is spaghetti straps (not my style) and the boots hurt my toes.
Why, ohh why do I buy items that are not meant for me or my body. Darn my female shopping gene LOL. But for real, I gotta get this shopping urge under control.
But I just found out yesterday that my family was invited to a Quinceanera this saturday and I might go tag along. Finally I will put a guilty pleasure purchase to use! I keep telling myself that I will eventually wear all my cute fancy dresses, even if it is to go grocery shopping :) or at least have a fake celebration/outing that would require me to play dress up.
But for now, I will probably keep my hidden purchases in that corner of the closet until I find a use for them. Isn't it really sad to buy pretty things and not wear them :( sigh
Any suggestions or stories to tell about similar situations. Please tell me I'm not the only crazy shopper out there.
