Bliss

March was a hard month for my no shopping goal. I had to buy my girls clothes for spring and I found myself getting caught up in online shopping and browsing catalogs, all for them, but still...I got a little obsessed. It took a little while to back off and stop! Luckily, April came quickly and my shopping day arrived...pure bliss!

I started with a bagel and diet coke (best to start fully fueled with carbs and caffeine) then set off for Roseville. I got there just before 10 am and started out at Marshalls. Then I hit the Galleria and The Fountains. Just before 4, I left for Stoneridge in Pleasanton. I got there about 5:15 and shopped until 7:30. I shopped at the outlets in Livermore until they closed at 9 and lastly, hit the great Target across the freeway for a little while. I got home with all my treasures shortly after 10pm...an amazing 12 hours of shopping!  Here is all my loot!

 Really there were only two things I bought that I had a hard time justifying, this jacket from Anthropologie and these shoes from Nordstrom (super cute though, huh?).

 I bought everything I had planned on buying (I did go with a plan). I would say I didn't do as good as I was hoping to do, but I did a lot better than I could have. For instance, I didn't even look at Kate Spade purses even though they were all 40% off and I only made an exchange at J. Crew. So overall I did pretty well. It was just so much fun! Now only 8 1/2 months until I can go again!
