See what did I tell ya, I knew it wouldn't take long for me to start spending again. I laugh though, I really thought at this point in my life, as a 27 year old woman I would be shopping at much more sophisticated boutiques and "schmancy" department stores. Just like when I was 17, ten years later you still find me hitting the ever-so popular sale rack at Urban Outfitters, and making bi-weekly visits to the neighborhood Goodwill. Part of this is because I'm not the 27 year old I imagined myself to be when I was 17 years old, and part of this is what I call my "creative process" of being an excellent bargain hunter (inherited from my mother) and the pure satisfaction I feel when I find an amazing designer shirt for 4 dollars... Then comes the paralell satisfaction of telling others it was only 4 dollars! Some things never change, and I like that.
