Within the last two or three months, I have nabbed some excellent bargains on several beautiful pieces to add to my expanding wadrobe.
I currently have a new affixation with the high street chains, such as Sportsgirl, Bardot, Portmans and Forever New.
Recently, I have been noticing a (slightly disturbing) new feeling whilst shopping. I know it's in the female genes to shop, and it's belived that shopping is the world's No. #1 recreational activity, but I have notcied within myself, that lately my purchases are of more value, better quality and are of a label or reputable fashion house.
Not only do I understand and appreciate, but I now relate to shopping themed television such as 'Sex and the City' and films 'Suddenly 30' and 'Confessions of a shopaholic'.
I am finding that, just like Carrie Bradshaw or Rebecca Bloomwood, the exuberance and gratification I acquire from the routine of finding the 'perfect' item, to the process of paying is thrilling, and quite frankly, rather liberating. It feels good to own nice things, to carry that embellished bag with pride all the way home and to have the glory of carefully unwrapping it and placing it in my eclectic wardrobe.
