Overzealous Shopping

On Monday, I was inadvertently led to the Saks Fifth Avenue after Christmas shoe sale.  Mind you, I only went downtown with the hubby to pick up my pants from Nordstroms.  After being led to Saks, I got caught up in the heat of moment.  The only things I saw were other over zealous women and the big extra 50% off sale of shoes.  So, I grabbed two shoes and had the Store Manager bring me the other two.  In a hurry along with husband to leave Saks, I didn't check the pair of Jimmy Choos closely.  When I got them home, they had some discoloration on one of the shoes maybe from moisture.  I was upset.  I have been trying to locate a comfortable nude colored shoe for about three years.  I have tried Christian Louboutins, YSL, and most recently Brian Atwood.  Well, yesterday, I had to trek back downtown to return the shoes and hopefully exchange it for another pair. I called Saks the night prior and a sales associate located 3 pair in Houston, Texas.  However, another sales associate says that their system is slow to show updates and my best bet was to find other shoes in the store or just receive a refund.  Well, I did find the same shoe that I was returning, but in black.  Having huge flat feet, I couldn't just leave the shoes because they were comfortable and stylish.  However, I still needed a nude heel.  Well I was able to locate a peep toe Jimmy Choo pump in nude.  Lucky for me, but bad for the wallet.  That is why I hate going to the store, you end up purchasing things that you had no business purchasing.  This is what we call impulse shopping or in my case overzealous shopping.  Luckily for me, I am giving up shopping for 30 days as a part of a New Years Resolution with my church.  The Creator says "Man can't live by manna alone."  In my case, I know that Groupthink can not live by shoes alone.

Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel

Good Evening All, This week has been rather hectic.  Dealing with family issues and job interviews at the same time.  All is good and the Creator is in charge.  I had purchased a Dooney and Bourke bag about two months ago to store my keys, ipod and identification when I workout at the gym. The bag wasn't a great choice and I end up exchanging the bag for a Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel in gray. At first I didn't really like the Janine Satchel because of the size.  I love big bags; however since I have lost over 20 pounds, big bags are starting to overwhelm my stature.  I wanted a gray bag because I wear a lot of gray outfits and have been unable to find the perfect gray bag.  There are many different shades of gray that tend to be a little taupe or have a bluish undertone.  This bag is more on the heather gray side with the beige vachetta accent. It is the perfect bag for the warmer months.  The leather reminds me of the Prada S...

Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue

Good Morning All, I have been enjoying this nice Chicago weather we have.  It has been around 70-80 degrees for almost two weeks now.  It is kind of creepy.  I went to Culver's yesterday to get one of my favorite treats, a three scoop lemon Ice and while in the drive through I see a big bumblebee.  Spring is definitely in the air.  I am waiting for the ball to drop.  Will we be getting 6 inches of snow in May?  Anyways, I got a new bag.  Well, I exchanged a bag that I had bought about two months ago for this bag.  It is the Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue.  I had purchased this bag in white/tan for the spring and had a change of heart.  I like white bags; however, they don't wear well.  Eventually they will get some kind of color transfer from denim or they will yellow overtime. I have a Chloe and Marc Jacobs bag that did that.  Well, the bag in my opinion is not royal blue in person.  It is ...

Happy New Years 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                               . Blessings to All,  It has been a long time coming for this post. The last time I blogged was back in May 2014.  Fast forward to January 1, 2015.  I am very happy to see another year.  I am so glad that 2014 is in the past.  Today is a time to look forward to new opportunities.  On my agenda this year is to get better and wiser.  I am on the path of eliminating baggage out of my life. I am very much interested in the minimalist movement.  A minimalist voluntarily simplifies their life.  It can include buying less things, reducing consumption, working less, and even eliminating toxic things from your life.  I always admired the Japanese culture.  They practice minimalism; however some may argue that is due ...
