Shopping Day

On Monday, my husband's day off, we decided to enjoy spending gift cards from Christmas. We were in book stores, in shoes stores, in clothing stores, and made trips to the food court for samples of mango chicken to stave off hunger while saving money. 

In line at DSW...where I bought wonderful summer wedge slingbacks entirely
on a gift card with enough left over for buying another new pair later!

How cool is this? Urban uses the California sun to cast a shadow of the
storefront letters. 

People jokingly refer to "retail therapy"...I find it's at its best for me when it involves as little as possible of my own money! I got a top on clearance at Banana Republic with a gift card, aforementioned shoes on sale, as well as a gumball from the machine because it's a guilty pleasure.
