Shopaholic vol.1: Excuses

Everyone already saw or read Kinsellas's Confessions of a Shopaholic, so everyone is quite aware of what a shopaholic is. A weirdo buying clothes, gatgets and candles in IKEA for no obvious reason. That would make insignificant number of males, nearly every girl and me for sure.

I was always wondering how many excuses there are for a shopaholic female. Really, tell me anything and I'll tell you how that can make an excuse for buying some new piece of clothes.

Going to dentists? You need new t-shirt to calm you down before that torture.

Your cat died? Well, nice black dress is still appropriate.

Out of money on your credit card? Gosh, that must be a stress. Do a little shopping on your boyfriend's/friend's/parent's money to calm down.

Hungry? Go and shop! You will fit yourself in twice smaller jeans that usually!

Need to go to the loo? Great, you will be shopping fast, good strategy.

Actually this is the situation I caught myself at. Was wandering in a shop with "no obvious reason" (read as urge to buy everything I see).  For a second fourth lets be honest uncountable time this month. How do I explain it to myself? Ah. Of course. That's because of that guy I saw few times and thought he maybe likes me. Need to make an impression, right. So this new notebook, pencil, socks, umbrella, nailpolish, scarf and jeans are all because of him. That bastard.

Really, new boy in your way - the best possible excuse ever. It's somehow both awkward and touching how I can keep buying tones of new clothes just because I like someone. Nevermind boys don't really care if your purse matches your new shoes, if you have black, red or none nailpolish, if you a wearing a shirt with none, short, 3/4 or long sleeves. Honestly, the only thing they'd probably notice would be if you turned up wearing nothing but your bra. That would be a huge fashion success in the male attention field. So of course I go and buy a new bra but for some weird reason I also go and buy a bunch of t-shirts, sweaters, cardigans, necklases, blouses and scarfs to cover that only potentionally attractive piece.

Yep, that's it. Female logic in it's pureness.

Post Scriptum for those who managed to read till here and are still willing to continue

I am pretty aware that this is the worst possible topic I could pick for a first post since I just lost all my chances to gain male and not metrosexual readers. Seriously, guys don't be scared. You are probably already a bit weird if reading girl's blog so metrosexuality doesn't do you any worse. Plus well dressed guys who turn out not to be gay are seriously attractive.

Anyway, why the topic? Oh, well. As I mentioned previously, I'm old enough to keep forgetting things. So that makes me an excuse - I have to write thoughts down as soon as they cross my mind. Otherwise there will be nothing to write down just few minutes and wine glasses later.
