Present for Me

It was a hot, humid, sticky weekend, both outside and in my mind.

Thank goodness I’m headed home for a little vacation this week;

everything seems to be stressing me out lately;

I crave a mental vacation.

I need time to breathe, rest, revitalize.

However, I do also believe in the holy power of retail therapy

and this afternoon when I took a little break from my desk at the office

and walked over to J. Crew,

their sales racks welcomed me in and I found success!

Slim fit khakis in tan and grey for under $30!

A hot pink summer scarf: 50% off!

A jean skirt that flounces out, an extreme A-line cut,

perfect with flip flops in July and tights and boots in November for $19.99!

And to top it all off,

J. Crew had the Ray Ban Clubmaster sunglasses

that I have been dreaming of, lusting over for quite some time.

So instead of waiting any longer

(really, why wait anymore; summer is here, the sun is quite shiny),

I decided that I deserved them and I got them.

I feel very happy with this decision; no buyer’s remorse in sight.

And an extra 20% off

for signing up for the J. Crew card doesn’t hurt either : )

And to top off the good mood I was in, the girls and I at work

enjoyed some delicious thai food at House of Siam

and my pineapple chicken dish was tasty

(leftovers awaiting me in the fridge).

A girlfriend at work is leaving this week and

moving on, to bigger and better things for herself.

I’m inspired my her risk-taking and

look forward to learning about her fabulous, future adventures : )
