I did a bad thing today. I didn’t want to. It was peer pressure. Two of my co-workers did it and then egged me on to do it too. I went to Kaufman’s at lunch. We have a 9 story Kaufman’s downtown. And they are always running sales. But sometimes they run super sales. I bought a huge bag of clothes for Shelby (my BFF’s daughter) for little more than $40 a few weeks ago. Every time I go to Kaufman’s and visit the baby section (5th floor, toward the back), I pick up the same dress. I don’t know why but I love this little dress. I started picking it up when it was full price ($60 – I can’t justify spending $60 on a dress for a baby). I saw it marked down to $40. Still too much. Later it was marked down to $29.99. I still hesitated. Last time I was there, it was $18. Much more reasonable but when compared to all of the $2 and $5 deals it seems like a lot. What if she only wore it once? What if I bought the wrong size (it’s a summer dress) and she can’t wear it at all? Today it was marked down to $15. I’ve thought about this little dress for months now. I go to that chickenbussing job every day so that I can afford to do things like this. So I bought it. I bought it in 9months figuring if she is born in September, she will grow into it next summer. I love it. I am not adopting a girl just to play dress up – that’s just a fun perk.
