Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Friday Fluff – The Shopping Edition

November 5, 2010

Okay, let’s face it, most of us have at one time or another wished we could have a shopping spree at one of our favorite stores. Believe me I have many, many times! I don’t mean I’d clean the place out, but I’d buy all my favorite things from that store. So today, I want to talk about the stores I would LOVE to have a shopping spree in and why. SO without further ado – let’s get to the fluff!

1. Aldi – Every time I go through this store I think how much fun it would be to have $1,000 to spend so I can fill this house up with food!! Especially now since they have all their holiday goodies out – yum!

2. Sephora – Oh yeah, this is the ultimate girly girl store if you are a makeup junkie like me! I would go to the big store though and buy all my favorites from Philosophy. I really like that line and while it is expensive, it is effective and that’s all I want. Besides, the Amazing Grace fragrance is well, amazing.

3. Old Navy, Children’s Place, and Gymboree – For my kids! Trying to outfit so many kids over the years is a real challenge and we buy more used clothes than we buy new. Just once it would be fun to go through these stores and buy all the clothes that my kids need each season.

4. Target – Oh my gosh I LOVE Target and we don’t have one in our town – boo. I just enjoy looking most days – it’s just a fun place to go. I would probably buy home good items here – you know linens and towels – that kind of stuff.

5. CJ Banks – I love the clothes in this store!! I’m overweight and it is so hard to find a clothing store with things that aren’t totally shapeless and dull. This place has it ALL – fun seasonal items and nice basics that you can add to each year. Oh, forgot to mention their sales – they are phenomenal! You can buy a lot of clothes for not a lot of money and it is a real party atmosphere when you go on those days. My goal is to lose the weight and then shop at their sister store Christopher and Banks. Same great clothing, just smaller sizes.

6. Any new, used, or online bookstore – Because I LOVE books!! Besides, you can get a lot of great deals on books for homeschooling from the used places. My secret wish (besides a spree), is just to go with a huge cup of coffee and spend hours perusing all the different areas of a bookstore. That’s my idea of Quiet Time :-).

7 IKEA – We don’t even have an IKEA in the whole state, but I did get their catalog so I could get ideas for when we can actually fix our place up (it has a LOT of potential!!). Besides, next year we’ll be able to think about buying new furniture – we haven’t done that since 1988. No kidding.

8. Starbucks – Not so much a shopping spree, but a gift card loaded with big bucks. Of course that will work better once the driver’s side window rolls back up after you roll it down – hehe.

Since we are on the subject of fantasy shopping trips, my other ultimate fantasy is to take my sil’s and my online friends on a bus trip to the Mall of America in Minneapolis, MN. I’d block out a whole floor of rooms in a really nice hotel and give each gal $1,000 spending money to shop in that fantastic place. Oh, the fun it would be!!

Well, those are my picks – now it’s your turn: Where have you always wanted to have a shopping spree?
