Look! A new outfit!

I'l admit it, I'm a shopaholic. I blame it on being in retail. Every shift I walk in thinking, what's new? What can I buy this shift? How would this shirt look with that pair of pants? Yikes! Why didn't I think of getting a job selling stuff I don't like? Oh right, I actually like my job.

My bank account hurts. If it could talk it'd be coughing. This week I bought a cute black and white stripped shirt and last week I bought a military green studded jacket. Super jazzed. My closet just keeps getting better and well bigger. Actually its stuffed. My discount is 50%. You'd think that'd be a good thing, but now whenever I see a price tag I always half it. That's bad when I walk into other retail stores.  I don't think I could ever go back to buying clothes full price. You'll find me at the outlet mall later in life.

I'm going to have to change jobs sooner or later. I really like my job, but I'll always be broke. I will enjoy my discount while it lasts. I don't think being a shopaholic will ever wear off though. Time to embrace it. I love accessorizing and putting outfits together. There should be a club.

Speaking to all of my fashionistas out there I will direct you to Look Book (if you haven't already been there). Get inspired to try out different outfits. It's fashion from around the world. Such a fun site. I could honestly sit for an hour just scrolling through different outfits. Liking them and sharing them. Go ahead create a profile. Upload your favourite outfits. Pin some outfits. Like them on Facebook and follow them on twitter. Add to the hype of your fave outfits. Of course there is also an app. Which means I waste more time on my phone. Enjoy surfing the site, you're welcome.

How cute is this outfit!?

  1. Long ago, there was a Holt Renfrew clearance outlet in Portage Place. Then they shut it and moved it to suburban Toronto. Where there are now two such stores. I still miss that place.

  2. Great post Alex.
    I'll be addicted to LookBook in no time. I feel the same way you do about retail discounts. There should be a past-employee discount. Right? That could happen.
    Any time you want to shop - call me up lady. I love me some outfit putting together! :P
