ocd vicarious shopping — yeah, that sounds fun
Friday, November 10, 2006
I like Anthropologie; like, I likelike Anthropologie. But I’m kind of cheapcareful with money, so I mostly just go there to ogle all the over-priced, well-designed stuff, and/or to play the “How much does it cost?” game, which really never gets old. Really! — just guess how much this shirt costs.
Anyway, I realize this is kind of absurd, especially considering my lowwell-managed income, but it’s a fun distraction from time to time. And at least I am not like Jade from Jersey, who blogs at Craving Anthropologie. From her site:
An obsession, have to have it, definitely want to live there! A gal who spends way too many lunch hours at Anthropologie — browsing, making my wish list, inspired, charmed, teased, of course I have to leave with something.. anything!
I love it when other people’s idosyncracies overshadow mine — it makes me feel so normal.
So apparently about 6% of adults shop compulsively, though probably not all at Anthropologie, or else they could make that shit a little more affordable — they must be Craving Urban Outfitters, or Old Navy.
