Well, friends...it has happened. My priorities have changed. Obviously, the shift began a while ago. But, lately...it is becoming more and more evident. It's not all about me anymore. {gasp!} Who would have guessed that having a baby would do that? Ha!
I can't afford to have it all. I know, it's a sad life, but it's true. So now I choose to spend on my daughter and my house. I can't even remember the last time I visted Piperlime or Nordstrom's website. Pretty crazy coming from me. I obviously still have to buy for myself, and do...it's just different. It's more out of a necessity now than a desire to have the latest and greatest trend. My self clothes horse give-a-damn is just, well...busted. I keep looking around to buy a new bag for spring...but then something comes up that I would rather have for my house or my little girl. I knew it would happen, I was warned. But, it's still an interesting turn of events for a shopping addict like myself. I mean, I still get to shop...so not all is lost there. I just don't get to buy all the cute, fun, trendy stuff for myself. But, in the long run? Buying for my house is a much better investment to me. And well, buying for Collins? That's just a must. She always has to look cute. I mean, how many times have I gone out to run errands with her...and I'll be in workout clothes (sadly, not from working out) but I'll make sure she is dressed in a cute outfit with a bow to match...) Pretty funny, huh?
I think the craziest part for me is how I just don't care anymore. {regarding clothes for myself} Yes, I still have to have something nice/new for a special event...but for the most part? I'm over it. Over obsessing over the "have to have top from ______", the latest bag, best jeans, prettiest shoes, etc. I mean, I like to look nice...but it's just not where I choose to spend the majority of my money anymore.
What are you spending YOUR money on?
And, has anyone found that money tree yet? I keep looking....
