But it was just the tiniest splurge!
Just got back from shopping. Two pairs of pants, two oxford shirts, one pair of nonskid shoes, one belt…all for my event staffing job. Sure, everything was on sale, and sure, I’ll be able to write this off on my taxes next year; but it was still kinda depressing to spend close to $100 and none of it’s “fun stuff” or stuff that I’ll really wear anywhere else.
So I bought myself two lipsticks from the MAC Hello Kitty collection. (At least it wasn’t more mineral makeup. I’ve already got so much of that, I can actually catalogue it.)
Hey, we’re likely to be in this recession for the next several years. I’m dang well going to look good. And my spending was not only largely work-related and thus a tax writeoff, it’s stimulating the economy. (But wow…what a ghost town the mall was!! Kind of spooky.)
