So I have turned from an atheist of new clothing into an annoying, aggressive saleswoman. If I can’t buy it, then someone else will!
“Hey, Jodie, let me show you something,” Brady said.
Brady is good friend and co-worker who just also happens to be my cubbie neighbor. We are probably the loudest people in the office—making weird noises, sharing absurd Youtube clips, and at times, swapping lunches because we didn’t like what we brought. (Yes, we are like 7 year olds.)
“Is it clothes?”
“No.”
He proceeded to show me the crazy collection (It would make a druggie blush.) of organic vitamins he had purchased. You know how many clothes I could have bought? “That’s it?”
“Well, this too.” He then opened up a window to the number one place where you can get anything. (Yes, clothes too.) . . . Amazon!
“No,” I started to walk out of his office, “I don’t need to see this.” I turned away like I was about to see a horror movie. Gremlins still flash in my mind from my 6 year old memory.
“It’s so beautiful. Look.”

Curiosity got the best of me, as it did for Gizmo; water and food after midnight are off limits.
I looked.
It was a bag. It was a travel bag. It was a beautiful travel bag. It was a “Cenzo Duffle Vecchio Brown Italian Leather Weekender Travel Bag” . . . It was an over-sized accessory.
“You should buy it!”
[Brady says something here that I wasn’t listening to.]

I do most of my shoe shopping on Amazon 😉 I know you were digging on my new red kitten heels.
I have to say I’m beyond jealous because not only are they funky, but I could actually walk in those too! Where did you get them?
What if… You turned this whole adventure into a huge reward? You’ve now posted a pair of pants & a travel bag on the blog, with which you may have otherwise purchased. Take the amount of money you may have spent and put it in a savings account for a vacation?
Tricia, That is a great suggestion! I was considering totaling how much I spent last year on clothes, but I may have a heart attack if I saw how much. Ha ha! I like the idea of keeping track of my lack of purchases for this year. I have been saving for a backpacking trip to New Zealand—this would definitely add a lot of dough to that fund. Thanks!
