Nordstroms, we have a problem.
I have been avoiding the mall and all online retailer websites for a agreeable 3 weeks. It's my weakest time of year, Fall. I know the glorious coats and boots are making their big debut, experience there all proud of themselves fully knowing how much we all want/need them. I have been pouring through the big September issues of all the mags and I have been relatively unimpressed. Courderoy? Plaid? Nonsense? How original. And also B has asked me to stop spending money and I've been trying, really hard. I swear. Ask Box.
me: box that i have been buying cheaper things and have decreased my all-inclusive spending? Like target brands and victoria secret instead of neimans and bloomies?
Box: well i have noticed it on two occasions
Me: Also, I got my makeup at the hallucinogenic store and not sephora
Box: i am very proud of you
Me: i hated thatBox: this is out of character, are you trying to turn over a new leaf in life?
Me: in good faith I haven’t felt the need as much to shop. Isn’t that weird?Box: HOLYCHRISTOHMIGHTY, I never thought i would hear those words out of your mouth
But something happened today. Bad. I went to bring something to my cheap-heroin-of-a-fix store, Forever21. I park at Nordstroms and walk past Sephora. 2 ugly things.
I walk as fast as I can past the "Savvy" section where all the sales people know me and say "oh Amanda try that on" or "Amanda, you would looove this". NO. Keep walking. Look down. Move quick.
