Spree

What I actually bought today:
• a pair of pants like Sarah's
• a pair of grey pants
• a pair of jeans (40% off)
• a pair of black flowy pants (25% off)
• a coverup vesty-thing ($6.50)
• a shirt ($4.50 -- the saleslady rather snarkily informed me that it was probably the cheapest thing in the store.)
• a pair of Doc Martens (I don't plan to tell Claudia about these. She's of the opinion that I have too many pairs of clunky shoes already. But they're cute, and they were $40. I'm sure you see the dilemma. And really, can you ever have too many pairs of Doc Martens? I saw some cool short Doc boots that reminded me of Hedwig's from the stage show, but they were $89, so they'll have to wait. Sigh.)
• a pair of mary janes
• a super-cool small brown leather backpack that I can carry as a purse but fit my digital camera in ($25)

The way I bought stuff, you'd think I had a whole bunch of extra money burning a hole in my pocket. Just to clarify, I don't. And I don't think my little spending spree has to do with tomorrow's ignominious date, or with the conversation CY and I had this afternoon about painting one's literal or figurative toenails. Impulsive, to be sure, but practical, as well.
