Money is meant to be spent. Right?
So my hubby gave me an IOU for a coat for my birthday and today me and my best friend and my mother and my sister in law went downtown to find one. We wanted to buy Icelandic design because they're different and pretty damn cool, well many of them any way. Hubby had specified that it wasn't supposed to be "a coat that was bought used or chosen because it was cheap and still looked ok but instead a real cool sexy coat that fit, one that has men ripping off their shirts and sexually assaulting the woman wearing it in the streets."
Well, okay, THAT's not gonna happen but my entourage made sure I didn't go into the thrift stores or the Red Cross or any of the other used/cheap-but-ugly/I-guess-it's-okay stores. And we did find a coat and it's damn gorgeous and makes me look... well, not slim but not as fat as I actually am. And yes, it cost a lot of money. More than I thought it did but not as much as it could have cost because believe me, we saw coats that cost double that and which weren't nearly as fine. (I wasn't supposed to know what it cost but foolishly I went to find a pic of it now and didn't think that maybe they'd show the price (honestly most sites don't) so now I know and feel bad and hubby is glaring at me for being a busy body that sticks my nose where it shouldn't go. *guilty sigh*)
Then we went to my sister for sushi and drank a lot of wine and now I'm almost drunk enough not to care that we just spent almost half my paycheck on a coat. *hyperventilates*
Now I just need to find boots that fit and look cool and sexy and are still comfortable. I have birthday money for that from my inlaws but this time I'm browsing outlets.
