I was so excited about my new iPad that I forgot to mention the wonderful weekend I had! On Saturday, my mom and I drove to Richmond to visit my sister and do a little shopping. It was a great trip! It was wonderful getting to see my sister and catch up with her but it also reminded me of how truly wonderful it is to shop in actual stores!!
My town never had very many stores and after my mom closed her shop, I no longer had an extra large closet at my disposal!! I soon realized that the only access to the brands I loved (Rebecca Taylor, Alice & Olivia, Elizabeth and James, Calypso) was by the click of the mouse. I have grown very fond of online shopping. I love getting to see hundreds of new pieces almost everyday from hundreds of different brands!!
However, nothing can beat the excitement of shopping in a store... The feel of the clothes, the smell of leather bags, walking out with your new purchase in a cute store bag! It truly is a wonderful thing!!
Sometimes I worry that if I allowed myself to have credit cards I would be more like Rebecca Bloomwood!!! I don't think Ben would be too happy if he came home to find me sitting on the kitchen floor with a high heal in my hand trying to break apart a huge chunk of ice that was housing my emergency credit card! I feel like using a debit card puts a realistic cap on the amount I can spend. I know how much is in my account and I know how much I can spend! Credit cards offer a buy now, pay latter deal that can lead to trouble especially since I find that when shopping, the more you spend the easier it gets to keep spending!! So keep those credit cards away from me... I will continue to stick to my trusty debit card and cash!!
