I have been on Patrick to let me get some new clothes... he finally caved in and the conversation went something like this:
P: You can go shopping this weekend- get whatever you need.
C: Okay
P: How much did you spend?
C: Oh let me tell you how much I saved!
P: Christy, cut the BS... how much did you spend.
C: 420 bucks
P: Christy!!!!
C: Well, Patrick! That's what happens when you don't let your wife go shopping for two damn years!
P: -silence-
I got to thinking about the last time I really bought any clothes- it was when I was hired with the City and that was two years ago!
I get hand me downs from lots of people, and sometime I come across a Fantastic find at the local Goodwill. Every so often... I will buy A shirt, A pair of pants, or A dress for a special occasion. In two years... I have only bought ONE new pair of shoes!
You know, Patrick doesn't realize how frugal I really am compared to most of my married friends.
And let me just say, it was so invigorating to go shopping all day! I have never ever done that!
I got:
2 pairs of jeans
2 pairs of khaki pants
1 Precious Argyle Sweater... precious.
5 tops
3 skirts
4 pairs of dress shoes
2 earrings
A stationary set
A new straightening iron
The Lesson learned by Patrick...
let his wife buy stuff a little at a time all year long. :)
