Confessions Of A Shopaholic

What girl doesn't love shopping?  I have to admit, it's my favorite past time besides writing. Although I like to check out different shops & retail chains, I never stray far from my top five favorite stores.  


1# TJ Maxx

This retail gem can be described in three words: Best. Deals. Ever!  Their merchandise is super current and super cheap.  Today at work, I saw a co-worker wearing a dress I purchased last weekend at TJ.  I asked where she got it and she told me Urban Outfitters.  Probably for double what I paid.  Oh yeah, top that!


#2 Target

I love me a place where I can buy toilet paper, bananas AND an adorable polka dot cardigan.  So convenient, it's dangerous...for my wallet.

#3 Bloomingdale's

My favorite luxury store for purchasing "investment" pieces.  I shop at Bloomies when I really want to treat myself.  My favorite items to buy there are handbags and costume jewelry.  Buying quality accessories is totally worth the extra money. I constantly wear items I bought over five years ago.  If that's not an investment, what is?  And don't say an education.  No woman has ever complimented my Bachelor's degree.  But they have complimented my Michael Kors bag.


 #4 Forever 21

I'm probably a little too old to be shopping at Forever 21, but whatever.  Maybe I'll stop when I turn 30. Wait that's 2 months away.  Maybe I'll stop when I have kids. 

Anyway, I love Forever because it's uber-trendy and of course uber-uber cheap.  How can anyone feel guilty buying a shirt that's the same price as a Starbucks coffee?  Not me.



#5 Endless.com

Obviously not a physical store, but I love this site.  They have an enormous selection of shoes and accessories.  And I don't have to get up off my ass or change out of my pjs to browse through them all!
