Material Possessions

I've thought about it, and decided I've restricted myself too much in my chosen topic of discussion. I have other opinions to express besides how much "X-Town" pisses me off. Therefore, the box has been lifted... *boom*

MATERIAL POSSESSIONS.
Why don't they make me happy?

I love shopping. Shopping is one of my passions. It gives me a buzz. Unfortunately the buzz wears off once I get home. Then comes the burden of unpacking the bags and hanging up the clothes. Is shopping therapy equivalent to a small dose of adrenaline?

I went on a splurge today (well my mother was paying, but I pitched in with a gasp when I saw the total amount on the little cash machine display window...). The process of shopping itself is incredible, especially since I made a special 'fashionable' effort in my appearance today. Nothing quite compares with the general feel-good of people looking back at you as you pass them on the street (or in a store).

Today my wardrobe got two new wonderful additions. Now all that's left to find is an occasion to take them out into the world...

  1. Ah shopping! The only downsides are that it costs money and there's always a wait before you can wear your best buys. You couldn't have that problem on the Upper East Side. There's always a party to crash or a luncheon to be seen at!
