| | I was going to post about the personality thing that Cin did, but I got side-tracked yesterday so never got to it.
Instead, I shall now discuss my problem of habitual splurging... So! Ever since I started work, I now have a consistent income (duh!). How it works is that I get paid monthly (salary employee) and our paychecks end up being handed out at the beginning of the next month.
With each paycheck, I give out the usual stuff of monthly investment savings, offering for church and then... There's money for me to spend!!
It's not like I spend it all or anything drastic like that. I just always find something I want...
Back in August, it wasn't that much since I just started working, but I went and got a couple things from the Guess outlet at our new giant mall (around $50). Along with the usual cosmetics stuff from Sephora.
Back in September, it was a pair of dress heels since I didn't have any low-heeled (less than 1") heels, which I picked up from the Shoe Company (around $50). Also, I found this lovely little "wholesale" store online that uh... Sells clothes XD So yah, splurged and got a tonne of stuff!! Lke mm... 7 or 8 things... And it was only like $130!!
Last month was really bad... It was winter boots and not those ugly clunky ones you wore as kids. But something fashionable and warm. "And" being the very, very important key word there. I mean, I have boots already - two pairs of ankle (heeled) boots and a pair of black suede-ish knee-highs. All last year, I wore the knee-highs to work during the winter... Except they're freezing! They're just pretty, but they have no lining besides the simple fabric inside. No, what I wanted this time was warm, lined boots! Which of course, I found... After some searching. Dished out a good $120 or so for those.
Then we went back to the giant mall and I picked out this really cute dress from Forever XXI. The line-ups were crazy! So I just bought it anyways, though I didn't have that much time to really try it out. (Sissy and mom were in the change rooms so didn't have a chance to ask in detail.) Picked up the wrong size, cuz the small was still too big around the armpit region. Then, I went back the very next day to exchange it and ended up picking out some necklaces while I was at it. It was probably around $75 all together.
Shopping with Ang doesn't help cuz then we just want to buy stuff... Us shopaholics banding together... ^^;; So picked up a few more things there that time I went out with her.
Then, it was Braden's birthday a few days ago, so I had to go pick up his present! And of course, shopping for him is like shopping for me at the same time... Cuz I bought even more stuff for myself!! Cologne for him, perfume for me (like $80-ish) and even a game ($42)! The new Mario and Luigi game I might add... Fun stuff!!
Then just this month (what little of it has passed by already)... I was waiting for my bill to be processed. Like my VISA bill for last month's stuff, so I could spend some more!!
This time... I really did it... Lolz. There's this one store on eBay that I know (that I purchased stuff from before). And then I was looking and looking, especially since sissy had this lolita-ish blouse come in for her... And then it spurred my desire again!!
Ugh... So yah, found stuff to buy... Not hard at all! *sigh* The crazy thing?! It's not even the price... I ended up getting like 3 pairs of shoes! THREE pairs!!!
First pair - black knee-high converse shoes with a bit of red plain around the top. I really like these now especially after getting my "converse heels" from Japan. Totally love them! I just don't know what to wear them with... Since I'm not really that type of girl... Like just doesn't seem to match any of my clothes >_> I suppose I'll figure it out after they come...
Second pair - white knee-high lolita boots. Ahaha, my lolita desire kicked in... Like really badly! I really, really like the lolita style. Matches me too - girly girl and all that. So yah... I guess I could find something to match with it. I'll make it work. Not hard at all XD
Third pair - and this one is the kicker... Pink 3-inch heel lolita "princess" shoes. I love pink; I really do. They kind of replace my old pink shoes, though those were only sling-backs with like 1/2" heel. But *sigh* Oh my gosh...! I've really gone and done it now... Ahaha~ The funniest part is that I like totally love them! And have no idea what I'm going to wear with them!
Other things I've picked up from her - white thigh-high socks (I got my black ones from her before), this gothic doll choker/bracelet(-ish) set, black/white/grey plaid tights and this red/black plaid skirt.
I've been eyeing the gothic doll accessories since like forever! I mean, I got the two belts, but still... I always, always really wanted the choker/bracelet... And finally got it...
*sigh* And to top it all off, it'll cost me a pretty penny!! Like $360-ish (after conversion)... Wow!
Seriously, I can understand how Ang felt when she told me that she bought like two jackets online for like $200-something. It's sooo addicting!! Especially if you really, really like it. My will to resist temptation before has always kicked in, but not this time!!! >_>''
The way I figured it though... I'm not going to be young forever!! Gotta wear what you like now, before you're like "too old" to wear that sort of thing! Though... Lolz~ I suppose I could see myself still dressing the same way like 5 years from now... Which would put in me in the almost 30-zone... ^^;;
I just wouldn't wear it to work and I would wear it out wherever I go! XD
That said, I wore my black ballerina skirt to church last week, and one of the other girls was like "Do you always dress like this?!" and I was like "Mm... Not all the time, but yeah~" haha, and sissy was wearing her lolita blouse with this lolita skirt she picked up too. They were like "Cu~te!!" Helped that it was just after Halloween :p
What can I say? I'm a girly girl through and through it seems...
Lolz~ I'll put up pictures later, if anyone really cares to see. I'm just always a touch worried about shoes because I can't try them on before I buy them... I'm going to be so depressed if they don't fit!! Based on the size advertised, should be right, but you know how it is with shoes...
