Confessions of a Shopaholic.

In my last post I told you about how I was going to save up my money and buy things that I really wanted. I am very sad to tell you this, but so far..that isn't working out.

Today my friend asked me to go shopping with her, and this is her last day in town before returning to college, so naturally, I said of course I would. Today I ended up spending most of the money that I made from babysitting last night, but that is including the 2 meals we got while we were out shopping. I got a new purse, 2 new pairs of earrings, tights, mascara, and a few other small items.

So, I have realized that I truly do need to put a jar aside that I will use to save up money in. I think that half of the money I earn from babysitting, helping around the house, or whatever it may be should go into this jar. I will not reach inside of this jar until this semester of school is out. This way I can properly reward myself for succeeding on completing yet another school year. Brilliant!

We will see how long this lasts.

Sincerely,

The girl you can never trust with a credit card.

Shopping List.

I am starting a shopping list of major items that I would like to purchase in the next year. So far it is only a small list of big things that I have been wanting for a long, long time now.

1. A designer watch. I have always adored Marc by Marc Jacob watches, and this lovely gal I know showed me hers the other day and it was simply divine. The ones that I have been eyeing are between $150-$225, so I will have to put aside a jar to save up in for this piece of jewelry.

2. Chanel No. 5. Who could name a more classic perfume for a women to wear? Coco Chanel is such an inspirational figure to me, and I would love to have the honor of owning something from Chanel, and Chanel No. 5 would be my number one choice, by far. This is $260/oz, so if I ever do purchase this then I will be getting a limited supply of it. (Right now I go and ask for samples that I take home and use 'for a french assignment').

3. A white lace, vintage dress that I discovered today when searching high and low for a dress similar to that of the dress worn in Factory Girl when Edie and Andy met for the very first time. I searched for this when I discovered that the theme of our Prom this year is 'Keep It Classy', and even though I do not expect to go to Prom, I decided that I should be prepared. Just in case. I found one almost exact, only to find that it had been sold, but my hopes were replinished when I ran into this other dress costing $158.

All of these items are a bit out of my price rang at this point, but I have decided to save up, and simply wait and see what happens.

In the mean time, I must be on the lookout of tights with interesting design details, high socks, and boots.

P.S. Imagine all 3 of my top items together, what a lovely sight that would be.
