Why yes. I surely am. I tend to go through fazes of being obsessed with certain things. Could be a type of food or drink, but mostly it's a store. And recently it's become one fabulous store in particular...Anthropologie!
Over the past year I have lost approximately 30 pounds by drastically changing my eating habits and using my elliptical machine at least 5-6 days a week (sometimes 7!). I've gone from squeezing myself into a size 10 all the way down to a size 4! Go me right? Reaching the double digits was really hard on me mentally. I had always been on the thin side, and when I was at the point of a size 10 being tight I knew I needed to change things.
So with this new body I also needed new clothes. I've had to replace everything, which was more than okay with me since my old style sense was drab and boring. I think I had pretty much given up on caring what I looked like. I barely even bothered to put makeup on for work!
My love affair with Anthropologie began several years ago when I happened to come across 3 amazing cardigans online on super sale. I wore those cardi's until they looked very well worn. I even cried a little when my husband mistakenly put my favorite one of them in the dryer (the horror!) and it shrunk. Supposedly He thought it was one of his shirts...which is actually sort of funny since the cardi was purple w/ribbon details on the front!
In August I fell back in love with the store. To the point where I stalk items to find them on sale. It's sort of embarrassing that I wake up early every Tuesday morning to go on their website to see what has hit the sales rack...and yes they normally update sales on Tuesday mornings and if you don't check out the site early things sell out really quickly. I guess there's a lot of other crazy Anthropologie addicts that wake up early, eyes still blurry, coffee in hand.
I've dropped some serious dough at this store. Nothing I would consider excessive. I only buy items on sale, but the shiz is still pretty pricey.
What is it about clothes that make women so crazy? Why am I so obsessed with buying pretty things? My husband couldn't care less if shirts were stained or his jeans have holes in them (which they do!).
I'll finish up this post by adding that while typing this I was checking out the Anthro website and saw a super cute skirt on sale for $39. I clicked, I bought!
