Shop Girl by Heidschoetter
One little vice never hurt anyone. Mine just happens to be shopping. I'm not neurotic about it. I don't have closets stashed full of bags of unopened, unworn items. I don't run up credits cards or buy things way out of my price range. I don't shop everyday. It's not an issue. I have it under control.
I think.
But the fact of the matter is that it does make me feel happy. I love to browse the sprawling make-up counters at Nordies. I sniff the perfumes while I nonchalantly gawk at the eccentric Mac employees. I run my fingers over each item that catches my eye. I try on hats and shoes that I would never buy.
For me, shopping is like eating ice cream. It's so much nicer with a friend. I am a social shopper. It's kindof like a social drinker only better. Instead of a designated driver, I need someone reel me in when my "eclectic" sense of style gets a little over board for church on Sunday.
I have never owned a pair of spectators. I think now is the time.
I will own this gorgeous gauzy tunic. If I have to sew and embroider it myself, I will have it.
Hummm, if only I could sew. I guess I just need to do some shopping around. I'm quite positive I can find something very similar. Shopping is one thing I'm pretty good at.

I am just the same except that I am NOT a social shopper. I would much rather go alone. I don't know why, I just know that's how it is. I'm pretty good at talking myself out of stuff, and that way I can look at whatever I want without worrying about dragging somebody along, or one of us getting bored. But it honestly makes me happy, especially if I've had a bad day. Love it.
Beautiful tunic! I would love to be able to sew clothes like that.
I loved this post! (As well as the rest of your blog)
I have to agree with Emily though, I do better alone.
Lovely blog. Love, Love, Love those shoes!
so when are we meeting and going shopping?
My favorite place to shop is the fabric store, I love feeling the different fabrics and I love shopping with my friend. But the friend has to be one that loves fabric also. I have a friend that likes to look at patterns. I love the wonderful fabrics. My other favorite shops are the beauty supply store and stationary stores.
that tunic is heavenly - you would look fabulous in it!
thats a nice sketch from Heidschoetter ....and all the best for your shoppings and other stuffs!:I :):D
