Being honest...

So today I thought of something I could post and share with you all. Before kids I was a spender...a big spender. Keith and I had a great life (not that we don't now) where we could go shopping at fancy big name stores at the drop of a hat. I bought clothes, shoes, scarves, bathing suits, etc...and never blinked an eye. Before we moved to Florida I worked at a law firm in Philadelphia and for some reason, I always wanted to impress and be taken seriously. My age was a big factor because I was the baby of the group and I felt like no one took me seriously. So I started to spend big at big stores and before I knew it I was spending money where I was almost not making enough to cover the minimum on my credit cards.

Now it seems that I have been paying for it ten fold. I buy mostly generic and never shop for clothes for myself unless its a special occassion. The only shopping I do now is grocery shopping and you know what? When I look at my closet, yes, I have an amazing assortment of stuff but that's all it is-stuff. After you start to grow up you realize that people are going to take you for what you are not what you wear.

For some reason I had to share this, I guess its more of a diary entry than a blog or the fact that I'm almost thirty and realized how far I've come...
