Seriously.
It is a legit question.
Do I really need those leopard print pants?
So first off I would like to point out yes these pants are leopard print but they are probably the most comfortable pants in the world. Plus they are from the Loft, where I work, which automatically makes them at least stylish. Okay, Okay. They are defiantly a trend and according to my amazing Retail professor, Dr. Boggs, trends fade out fast. It is in her top ten rules of fashion. But come on these are like stepping into a little marshmellow fluff of heaven and besides doesn't cheetah print come back every fall?
See this is my problem. Again the day to day inner conflicts have been brought up. I have this amazing talent where I can justify anything, just ask one of my ex's. It is no longer I want said leopard print pants it is I NEED these because I have to dress for work and what better to do than to where the product. Right? They are super comfy pants for when I am having one of my dreaded "fat days." Right? In London everyone has this edgy almost punk rocker but still super fashionable thing going on and I need to look like a Londoner and not some fellow tourist. Right?? See. I have a problem with justifying EVERYTHING. Plus I get an amazing discount on these pants because Loft really wants their employees to wear their product. But side night they also just got reduced which means they will be $4 less than what I originally paid for them! See, I need these!!
Okay so I bought them...
What usually comes after my lack of will power is my horrible guilt trip. Sometimes I even have these horrible nightmares about my purchases. Again my life is super sad. Most people dream about horrible things happening to loved ones and I dream about not being able to fit everything in my suitcase and over drafting my bank account ( which is something you should NEVER do. I mean why in the world would you want to pay the banks even more money?? It is the biggest scam!!!!! For more rants on why banks are horrible please message me.) ANYWAYS. Man I really need to work on this whole distraction thing. Pants. Leopard print pants. Got it. So this huge guilt trip things starts up and it actually really stresses me out. That being said though I normally keep what ever I purchased, mostly because I hate driving and having to take things back, but I do stress out about it much longer than necessary. IT SUCKS. I even ask people for second opinions on if I should keep said article of clothing but to be honest my friends and family are horrible at helping with this because they just tell me the reasons of why I SHOULD keep it. So again there goes my bank account and my happy stress free day.
For those suffering from shopoholism you understand this.
For those that aren't: please never allow yourself to get into this situation. It really does cause a lot of pain and suffering.
ps. I just ate my weight in rice chips, the Zen Party Trail Mix from Target to be exact and if you haven't tried it AVOID AT ALL COSTS because it is the most addicting thing (besides shopping) you will ever have in your life, and now I am going to have one of my "fat days." Maybe I will wear those pants after all. Hmmmm.
