realizations about shopping
I realized a fundamental truth about myself today that I honestly was not aware of before this afternoon:
I HATE SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!
I have always thought that I am basically ambivalent about it, I mean I like strolling around a nice market as much as the next person.
But I don´t really like shopping. I don´t like parting with money, I don´t like buying things I don´t need, I don´t enjoy crowds or dealing with salespeople, I don´t like trying on clothes and I don´t like tiptoeing around stores worried about my backpack breaking something.
I know that it is exacerbated because I live in a huge city and today is sort of a holiday today, not to mention the CHRISTMAS season and there are tons of tourists about. But wow, that was harsh.
I ended up buying some black knit pants and and a raspberry colored long sleeve t-shirt, both of which are really quite boring but organic cotton and practical for walking the dogs and yoga or wearing to work on really lazy fun uninspired fashion days.
I also bought a pair of sparkly purple ballerina-type flats. I am seriously manic in my habits.
I do really need a pair of tennis shoes/trainers. I would like them to be high top, quirky cool color and design but not OTT and tragic to be seen in, very comfortable and non-leather. This is apparently too much for the world to cope with.
