retail therapy at its finest!

okay, so, i'm sitting at church waiting for band practice to be over, so since the computer was up anyway, i'll blog a sec.

as mentioned in my most favorite oldest sister's blog (funny girl, go read!) i have been on a slight retail therapy binge lately. not by any choice of my own you see, but life at nineteen has started to become increasingly stressful. seeing as how i don't take part in many other stress releaving activities, i shop. now, many of you i'm sure are saying how retail therapy is a hoax made up by women who cannot curb their spending, which i thought for the longest time! but alas, it's not a hoax at all. it's true! spending money on things that bring joy to a girls heart actually release endorphins, which create a natural high...or something to the ring of that.

anyway! i've been doing my fair share of shopping lately, and boy has it helped. now, i'm not one of those kids with a credit card, so all my purchases are cash money. and the way i figure it, if my bills are paid, and its my cash anyway, why the heck not. so, bc i know you are all dying to see these beauties that have recently become my family, i shall share.

i started with a little scarf action:

bought in both black and gray, for a steal!

and also:these two fabulous colors for spring! it'll be interesting...

also, a pair of boots from payless with a strong resemblence to the ugg cardy boots we all know and love, which happen to have no photo on payless.com, sorry kids.

AAANNDD, drum roll please.......
<<< this adorable thing i ordered from jcpenny on saturday, and am patiently waiting to get..patiently, such as a kid for christmas morning. that type of patiently. but, i had good reason, this bag was as steal at nearly 50% off. (and after the night i spent earning the $$ to purchase this beauty, i totally deserve it!)

much love to all! since I remember my password now maybe ill blog again shortly.
