Retail Therapy

I was in need of some shopping! Seriously, in need. Of course now I have the inevitable post-shopper guilt that I always get no matter what. It isn't so much about "do I need these clothes?" as it is about "should I be spending money?" I have this odd little voice in the back of my head that battles between the money-is-meant-to-be-spent mindset and the don't-spend-in-case-of-emergency voice. I always like to have a "little" extra stowed away, you know, in case my brother loses his right thumb in a freak robot building accident and I have to fly home immediately to grab the thumb from the ice and re-attach it myself. My bank account has shrunk a little, what after theater tickets and dinner and shopping and bridemaid dress paying, and book buying--oh yeah, I bought school books--guilty, over-spending disaster avoided as I managed to accidently do something good!

Well, for those who care. I bought this jacket...but mine is even saucier because the stripes are pink!




Which means it totally matches the shoes!
