Charge It
I have been looking forward to an upcoming weekend getaway, and the closer I get to the date, the more planning I do in regard to packing. I have to be one of the worst suitcase packers…..EVER! I routinely throw in more clothes than I would ever need, and in desperation, usually chuck in a bunch of random “last minute, I might need it” items, that rarely go with anything…..ARGH!
With my recent closet clean-up, I was feeling I didn’t have the right combination of clothing to pack. Because of the location of my adventure, I needed to pack for cool as well as warm weather, and realizing I didn’t have enough, or better put, I just wanted a few new things…….the shopping began.
I am not a big shopper by nature, so what does a girl do?………..She shops on-line. In the beginning I took my time, ordered a few things, decided whether or not they were keepers, and put the remaining items back in the package to be returned. This happened several times, until I had so many items to return, I couldn’t stand it any longer.
With the ongoing process, in steps one of my Besties. She regularly shops for one thing or another, and seems to always get the deal. She has patience to pick through racks and racks, I on the other hand, am the exact opposite. Since I hadn’t found what I was looking for, she decided she would become my personal shopper. She brought over bags and bags of things for my review and try on. This happened on more than a few occasions. Bless her heart……that girl can shop!
Even though I have most of the items I need, I still have yet to find my perfect piece, and my friend confessed yesterday to searching through more racks. She found things for me and her. I adore her tenacious spirit, and the willingness to help me find that one of a kind item. On one of her recent visits my son commented about my review, “You’re picky!” I must admit….perhaps he is right….UGH!
So for now I’ll keep an eye open for that one last piece. If I am lucky, I’ll add it to my cart, click check-out, charge it, and WA-LA….finish my order. If not, I am assured my girlfriend will be relentless until she finds the perfect garment. What I am not assured of, if that item will be for me or her….haha! Shop on my friend, shop on! I adore that girl!
