Retail Therapy

Kaza......I wish I was 20 yrs younger, I also would be shopping for cute undy sets,

but at my age, comfort is the name of the game.



Are you planning on retail therapy this weekend???

Kaza, I also wear the Genie bra and the Aah bra.....love them...as you say, no more hooks.....my girlfriend bought me a whole bunch after my surgery and I've never looked back.....does sound that you might be joining the comfort zone, but it's not so bad.

I've always been into "comfort first" ....my mother and I would go into town together shopping and she would be wearing the 4" heels and there would be me with my Birkenstocks.....she could never figure me out. When she got arthritis in her feet, she was more upset about having to lose the heels than her arthritis........lol

Kaza.....didn't realize you are in England ....I'm fromGlasgow....came to Canada in 1970....Toronto was a village at the time re shopping but now the skies the limit....have fun with your chores....lol

I forgot to add this to favs.



Got knock off tiffany key chain 10$ for myself, didnt see any other tiffany jewelry i wanted. Been going to her sale for years.



Got vitamixer last spring absolutely love it. Use it daily

Yay! Women after my shopping heart! glad to know others are 'ill behaved' too! I was dx with dcis in 10/12, umx on 10/29/12. I just bought myself jimmy choo's Raina purse...sadly, it has an expected ship date of 12/15/12, so I ave to be patient so in the meantime, I'm perusing books, magazines and the web for fabulous playboy grotto like swimming pools to have built in my backyard! Heck a girl an dream eh? Lol

Dulcigirl....love your attitude even more now......If I were living near you I would be harassing you daily to get them on and just strut your stuff.....Xmas and NY ......coming up.....I expect to hear from you then that those shoes went a walkin....💃👠👠👠👠👠

I bought purple garland for my tree!!

starting to get xmas stuff ready early...

and i agree... the act of shopping is very soothing...

but

the aquisition of a good deal... is a rush!!

lol keep sopping ladies!

Dulcigirl.....you can't do it through your IPad....you have to go to your desktop. There is a thread here that gives you step by step instructions.....hope that helps.

Ladies - standing in the dressing room at Nordstrom, actually fitting into the size 8 jeans the styist brought in, almost made me cry.

When you're a size 16-18, you don't spend good money on clothes....

Since losing 60 pounds, my mind hasn't wrapped itself around the fact that I can actually fit into regular-sized clothing....and now I realize that everything in my closet just hangs on me.

I can't remember the last time I bought clothes. I didn't think 1) it was worth it, and 2) I deserved it, being so heavy.

But standing in front of that mirror, something happened.....I was SOOOO happy!!!! I worked really hard at my diet and exercise, and for the first time, I think I really saw the results.

So yeah, I bought one pair of insanely expensive jeans, but the other four pair were on sale. To me, that justified everything.....

What a great thread!  Thanks for starting it kaza - I just loved to shop!!  After my diagnosis, I took a break from retail therapy and my husband treated me to some beautiful pearls to cheer me up.  I too, previously, would not treat myself and found that I would only buy something if it was reduced in price.  Recently, I found myself shopping and planning my next purchase in a designer name bag.  This is something I would not have done before.

Blessings.....love your story and congrats on your hard work......I take a siz 6 now due to

The summer from hell.....vomiting,no appetite, nausea.....lost a huge amount of weight...

on meds now and eating well. I used to be a size 12 and still gravitate to that size when I go shopping ....still can't get my head around it, but I love that I can wear any style now.

Not the best way to,lose weight and wouldn't recommend it.



To everyone working hard on losing....keep up the good work and the go treat yourself💃💃💃💃💃



Kaza....don't think you want to see all my Birkis, cute as they are, still,pretty boring compared to you gals.....keep those 6 inch heels coming and strut them whenever you can.👠👠👠👠👠

Hoping for the safety of mamglam's pearls. :-)

Merlcat - how about a picture of the Jimmy Choo Raina purse?

Recent retail therapy for me was this very simple Kate Spade purse - I love her designs:
