Shopper's Delight

I hope you all caught that reference to Run DMC.

I have a severe aversion to keeping money in the bank. As ultimate white girl hero slash fashionista extroadinaire, Carrie Bradshaw, once said. "I like my money right where I can see it, hanging in my closet." And when I'm shopping, I swear it's like I'm Miley and the words "clearance" or "sale" are that dern sledge hammer, cause I am all over them. My shopping trip yesterday inspired me to make a playlist that captures the various emotions I experience while on a shopping trip.

Price Tag
Just to remind myself "It's not about the money, money, money." Cause I have no money, money, money.

Where Have You Been-Rihanna
When you finally find that piece you've been looking for for months but could never find because your mom said no store would actually sell fur-trimmed leggings and you're so overjoyed that you almost cry from happiness. 

All I Want is You-Miguel
For those rare occasions when you walk into a store, see something so perfect (and probably expensive) that you know it will be your only purchase there.  

Never Wanted Nothing More-Kenny Chesney
You have to have this mindset if you're going to sucker, I mean talk, your parents into buying something for you. (Hi Mom!)

Two Is Better than One-Boys Like Girls & Taylor Swift
Because when you like something, you buy it. When you love something, you buy one in every color. 

She Will Be Loved-Maroon 5
When you're thrift shopping and find the perfect vintage piece. You just have to let her know that she's going to a good home and you will treat her right.

Another One Bites the Dust-Queen
After each mid-checkout discovery that yet another one of your credit cards is maxed out.

Meet Me Half Way-The Black Eyed Peas
When you are trying to explain to the cashier that you should not be charged the full price for a top because it was on the sale rack. Sure it was misplaced but that's not your fault, all you want is the discount.

We Can't Stop
This is exactly how I feel when I'm in a store that's having a huge sale. And I won't stop. Only God and VISA can judge my spending habits.

It's Goin Down-Young Joc
Perfectly describes my bank account balance.

Racks-YC
Racks on racks on racks. Of clothes of clothes of clothes. And shoes and shoes and shoes. And bills and bills and bills.

If We Ever Meet Again-Timbaland & Katy Perry
When you really can't purchase something and you have to settle for vowing to buy it if you ever see it again.

You Belong With Me-Taylor Swift
As an encore to If We Ever Meet Again or when some other chick buys the last of something out from under you.

Should've Said No-Taylor Swift
When you try on something that is too expensive because your friend asks you too and then it just so happens to make it look like you have a waist AND hide your cankles so you HAVE to buy it.

That Don't Impress Me Much-Shania Twain
Whenever a store has a disappointing selection of shoes when you were hoping for so much more. If there's only 3 different styles of wedges available, there's your sign.

It's Gotta Be You-Backstreet Boys
When you see something that you really shouldn't spend that much money on, but you just have to. It makes me go crazy but I never wanna stop, ya know?

What Now-Rihanna
I mentally belt this after each checkout, like what store am I gonna hit next? "Whaaaaaaat! Nowwwwwwww!" But it never takes me long to "just figure it out."

Dude (Looks Like a Lady)-Aerosmith
Because if you're out shopping and don't see at least one guy cross dressing, you're just not shopping in the poshest neighborhood.

A Whole New World-Aladdin Soundtrack
This song perfectly captures my emotions after I went into LOFT for the first time. I can't remember my life before Ann Taylor's luxe sweaters and clean dress pants.
