I am the type of person who spends a good deal of money on clothes. However, I think that I don’t spend as much as the typical 25 year old. I usually exhibit self control and am able to talk myself out of buying something. And when I do buy something, it’s frequently at a discounted/sale price. And if it is regular price, and I’m still making the purchase, I must think that it is a good deal.
Well, after looking for bathing suits for some time on www.victoriasecret.com, I finally found some that I really liked. I knew that the store near my house had bathing suits, so I went in search of one. I came out of there with a $76 sexy suit. (That was with a $10 coupon.) Immediately following the purchase, I called my friend Megan to rationalize my buying two tiny pieces of fabric for $76. I thought she would have tried to talk me out of it and return it for a cheaper one. Instead she congratulated me on finally spending full price on myself. (That’s a good friend.) Anyway, I wore the bathing suit this weekend and felt like a million bucks.
And so, I decided to do a bad thing.
I loved the suit so much that I went online again. Because why stop the happiness right there? Why stop shopping now that I am sure of my size? Because I could not come up with an answer to these questions, I bought ANOTHER bathing suit. This one was on clearance, so I felt better. And I deserve it. I can actually justify my purchases: I’ve been working out, feeling better about myself, have almost reached my goal of working out 3 times/week every week by June 6th. AND the end of the school year is upon all of us hard working teachers, and that means I need to reward myself for another year of hard work.
I cannot find a picture of bathing suit #1, but, for your viewing pleasure, I took a picture of myself in bathing suit #2 below.
Okay, I fib. That's not me. But it is the actual bathing suit.
