I did some retail therapy yesterday. Don’t tell my husband (only kidding, he knows), but I was perusing the internets and happened to find a few really cute things that I simply could not live without, AND on top of that I found some things for a few people for CHRISTMAS! And so. The stars aligned and stuff and things and I clicked the little “checkout” button and I was a very happy camper. I mean, hi, ballet flats with cat faces on them. Yeah. Need I say more? I’m telling you, that retail therapy stuff is no joke. It’s a real thing. And it helps. It helps everything.
Another thing! Some big happy news that I haven’t told you yet, is that my husband got a part-time job as a computer teacher! I knowwww! He’s so smart and handsome and awesome and I am SO SO SO proud of him! Go Zack! :) He’s teaching 4-12 year olds at a private school and he dresses all cute when he goes to work and I know all the little girls are going to have big crushes on “Mr. Reyes” and I’ve been calling him “Professor Reyes” because I think it’s funny.
Do you believe in retail therapy?
What’s the last fun purchase you made?
Go ahead, you can congratulate Zack. I won’t be mad. ;)

Congrats to Zack on his new job :) I’m sure he’ll love it. I miss teaching, I taught for 3 years before I took this new job as an Assistant Director of Education. Makes me miss being in the classroom. I did some retail therapy last week. Went to T.J. Maxx and Century 21 –scored some cute tops for work and sweaters :)
Aw I bet you were such a good teacher!!! You have the sweetest personality! :) YAY for retail therapy. I need to get to a TJ Maxx soon. I’ve had a gift card for there foreverrrrr and have like never been haha
xo
Oh gosh Katie, if I had gift cards to TJ Maxx they would burn a hole in my purse!! I can’t get to one fast enough!! Congrats to Zach!! Also…I NEED that nightshirt!!!
Haha, I knowwww I’m crazy. I need to get myself to a TJ Maxx STAT! And girrrrl, the nightshirt keeps selling out, so get it get ittt!
xo
I do believe in retail therapy, in fact, I’m needing some right about that! That coffee nightdress is adorable and I love the flats! Congrats to your hubby on the job! And that’s great that you’ve found some Christmas presents already! It’s always good to start early!
Retail therapy is ALWAYS a good idea. Good for the soul.

Yeah Zack! Shopping is the best. I love a new outfit or two!
Girl, me too. And it had been too long since I’d got anything fun! Yay shopping.

I need to do some retail therapy when I get back to El Paso. I’m in desperate need of a new fall wardrobe. :)
Yessss! The best wardrobe to shop for is the fall one! :)

Sometimes I can satisfy the urge just by adding to online shopping carts. Sometimes.
Haha yes, it’s like window shopping! It helps for a while, but then you just can’t fight the urge any longer and have to click “submit”

Yay for a new job! We just had a Nordstrom Rack open where I live and I have been having a little too much me time in there!
Ohhhh girl. LOVE nordstrom rack! That store is dang-er-ous!

^^ this whole section made me laugh… CONGRATS to Zack! :) happy friday!
Aww thanks!! :) I’m glad I made you laugh!! Happy friday sweet girl!

Does me pre-ordering the new Talib Kweli album just now qualify as retail therapy? Because it felt pretty good ;) Congrats to your boo on his new job!!
Bailey
Oh, yes, absolutely that counts!! And thanks! :)

Congrats Zack!!!! I definitely agree with you on retail therapy, I do it a lot. There’s two malls within a 5 mile radius to my job so yea, there’s really no escaping it if I’ve had a bad day or busy day at work. Ok, my last fun purchase wasn’t anything retail related because I haven’t been shopping since last week BUT I would have to say my lovely McDonald’s Happy Meal Toy. In honor of the 75th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz (my FAVORITE movie of all time) they had little toys. I collected each one. No I didn’t buy the Happy Meal with it, I actually can’t due to health reasons BUT the toys were good enough :)
I wishhhh I could retail therapy a lot, but you know. Money and stuff. ;) But I agree, it is the cure to any bad day, ever. OMG they had wizard of oz toys?! I love it!! And I totes didn’t even know that you could buy the toys without buying the happy meal. You learn something new every day!
xo
Aww, Congratulations to Zack! I totally agree that retail therapy is like real therapy, it lifts my spirits every.single.time. And the best thing about shopping online is that you’ll get a 2nd rush of happiness when those packages arrive at your door :)
EXACTLY!! I’m so excited to get the package! It’s like Christmas every time :)
xo
I definitely do believe in retail therapy, although I went today and did not buy a single thing because I just didn’t love anything. I did, however, recently buy a dress with bears all over it. I love bears more than anything, and I’m still riding that wave of joy.
Sometimes just walking around and window shopping is the best form of therapy! It’s just relaxing. :) That bear dress sounds so cute!!

i just went to h&m 2 days ago!! ..my man knew i can’t resisted the huge sales banner and an attention from a bunch of crazy girls desperately catching everything they saw on the aisle..so i went in and because of the attraction i bought two pieces for S$30 only! huge bargains! this is definitely a good therapy for my tension work-day.and congratulations to zack! xo josephine

Oh don’t tell me that. I am SUCH a sucker for H&M sales. It’s kind of my favourite store and all. Looks like I’ll be needing to pay it a little visit soon! ;)

Aww congrats to Zack! That job sounds so fun and I’m sure he’ll be just great at it!
I’m so proud of him! He’s really a natural at it! :)

Awww YAY twinsies! It’s seriously so gorgeous, I can’t wait for it to come in the mail!!! :D
xo
Those cat flats are super cute! I just shared the link with four of my cat-loving friends. :)
Awww aren’t they the best shoes ever?! I’m seriously dying over them. Like, I couldn’t NOT buy them, you know?!
xo
retail therapy… Yes! I don’t even care how small of a purchase it is, if I am having a bad day or week, I can go out shopping and buy myself a nail polish and feel so much happier. Why is that?!
Congrats to Zack!
YES. Shopping makes you happy. It releases endorphins! It’s science. ;)
xo
I do believe in retail therapy, but I also believe in retail therapy guilt after too. haha.
Awww no no no, no guilt allowed!!
xo
OMG CONGRATS to ZACK!!! Lol and you too. I have some shoes JUST LIKE THAT!!! Wish I could post a pic but OMG that’s SOOOOO cool!!
