Today I took a much needed me day! I slept in a little (oops) and took my sweet ass time getting ready. I went on a short bike ride to Goodwill, home of the $1 Thursdays and did some serious thrifting. I scored a lilac JCrew silk top and a Tahari pencil skirt (a girl can never have too many pencil skirts! I definitely cut it close though.) all for $5! My mom always reminds me that it's a really great deal if you can't even buy the materials for that much. Cha-Ching! After whetting my shopping whistle, I ignited a long-dormant shopping bug inside of me, and headed north to Scottsdale. I had planned on hopping on the bus, but as the beast rolled by I noticed that all of the bike racks were filled, and there was no shade at this bus stop.
Out of spite, I rode the 5 miles to the mall and was sweaty and disgusting among the bourgie Scottsdale pouffs. For some reason it was really satisfying. Anyway I burned some store credit at Macy's and bought a bandeau top from Material Girl (the Madonna line!) and some socks. I love socks. Then, I bought myself a mall pretzel. Man those things are good. It was like an immediate time warp back to when I lived in The Valley; a surreal moment where I could close my eyes and see young me walking through the mall in search of the perfect pair of flared pants and hello kitty backpacks.
I caught a bus back and am now enjoying filling out job applications because my hair looks amazing today, and I have a pile of really cute clothes that all cost $10.
