I am a financially savvy person. I make good decisions and manage our money with great skill. In fact, I was telling Greg we had our spending fund set aside for Puerto Rico and he commented that I am great with money….this is all before I went clothes shopping at Old Navy to buy Owen some school clothes.
Once I got there I was finding nothing great for Owen. They had a lot of jeans and he hates jeans, more specifically, “they don’t feel right”. He only has 2 non-jean pants and I can’t imagine a 5 day school week with a constant battle of not feeling right clothes.
In a state of sadness that there weren’t more options, I strolled out of the boy’s section with my one pair of pants, and that is when it happened, all my financial reason went flying out the window. I can’t help myself. I found the cutest grandma sweater for Ivy, off white, three buttons, long with a hood; a gray sweater dress; and a pair of brown boots that will look darling with the sweater dress. My financial savvy self - gone. I don’t know what happens to me, I see these items and I don’t even look at the price tag. Of course, none of them are on sale and are more than half my entire purchase, but I don’t even care. The price tag was not going to make me put them back. I have no idea what comes over me, but the idea of her cute self wearing the clothes takes over all sense of reason.
So, in closing, I may have to forego a meal or two in Puerto Rico, but my baby girl sure will be cute!
(She wore these to bed tonight. She would not let me take them off. )
