spt - 100 list #21

#21 I have a hard time spending money on clothes.

Yes it's true, I have a hard time spending money on clothes. I've never been a big shopper, but there are times, like when I go in my closet and can't find anything to wear or am going on vacation and just want something new, that I'll venture to the mall, but for the most part it's not something I do.



If I do find myself shopping, this is where my spt comes in, I loath spending top dollar for clothing. I don't own designer jeans, though it would probably be smart since I wear jeans all the time, because I just can't seemed to get passed the price tag. I try not to go into stores like Nordstrom unless I'm looking for something specific. Logic would tell me if I spend money on clothes they will last me a long time, true for jeans, but clothes go out of style so quickly that I'm better off spending $15/$20 on a trendy shirt, wearing if for one season, and feeling ok about the fact that it's falling apart.

Of course there are those times when I find a piece of clothing I love so much the price tag doesn't even matter or find an item considered as a wardrobe staple (ie..black pants or a white tailored shirt), and yes, for those types of situations I will usually splurge, but normally I look for bargains.

Finding a bargain on a shirt and still feeling cute...well how can you beat that? Ok you can, but you know what I mean.

hi my name's amy and I'm a t-shirtaholic

I love t-shirts

I'm not even sure why exactly or where it all began.

I am draw to them.
I am draw to the 100% soft cotton.
I am draw to the many colors.
I have the hardest time seeing a stack of neatly folded t-shirts at the store and passing them up.

Every time I venture out to look for something new i tell myself I cannot come back with t-shirts. I need something new. Something stylish. I am good sometimes and other times i end up coming home with at least two. On my most recent purchase I was at old navy looking for summer cloths for the girls. I found this perfect T. The one I had been looking for. I actually didn't know this until I bought one and tried in on when I got home. I realized this was the best t-shirt i have found in a really long time and that I must have more. So in true lazy fashion, really I just didn't want to get lured into buying something else, I purchased 5 more T's online. Awesome. Here is a link to the T's online. They are thin and long...perfect for me.

It was such a delightful day when they showed up. I couldn't be happier. Everytime I wear one I think, "this is the best T ever." At times I wish I knew more about style or that I cared more. I guess I just don't. I seem to be a classic t-shirts and jeans kind of gal and I'm ok with that. In fact I am happy about that.
