How do you feel when Monday rolls around? Usually I don't mind Monday, but today was a bummer. I'd had a great weekend outside in beautiful
sunny weather and the last thing I wanted to do was be cooped up inside an
office. I love working and I put in more
hours than many of my co-workers so it's not that I always dread being
there. In fact, I rarely if ever dread
going to work. Even during the Holidays
in December, I'm known to volunteer to go in on days when everyone else wants
to take off. And as an architect, I'm
very busy with clients and keeping up with daily duties. Those days when I go in during the Holidays
are especially nice. The day after
Christmas is absolutely blissful. The
office is quiet and it's super easy to get a lot of work done in no time. Actually those are the days when I get more
work done than a normal working day.
But today when I went into work, it was hard to settle
down and concentrate. I have a lot of events
coming up and that means I need new outfits and accessories. Most of my morning was spent with busy work,
but every now and then my mind drifted to what I needed to purchase. I imagined new outfits and handbags and where
I'd purchase them. During my lunch break
I decided to eat at my desk and do a little online shopping. If you are like me you have your favorite
websites for shopping. I love to browse
online during the weekends to see if my favorite sites have restocked with the
newest and latest designs. There are two
work trips, and one vacation trip coming up within the next three months. It was time to dust off the credit card and do
some serious retail therapy. The first
online boutique I purchased three new blouses and a super cool new pair of
jeans. I love denim, but I don't like
slim fitting jeans. These were the perfect
pair of slouchy boyfriend jeans that would fit well into my denim
collection. I'm so over jeggings and the
whole skinny jean look. They don't look
good even if you are a size 00. And honestly,
they cling to the skin in a weird way, but people are odd and they will wear
what is dictated to them.
The second site I visited makes my very favorite leather
goods and handbags. The label is well known
and beloved by many and in fact most of my handbags are by them. I clicked over to some new satchel bags and I
was immediately in love. What beautiful new designer handbags.
I purchased the cute stripe handbag and also a smaller
version in a red, white, and black check. These handbags will accompany me on
my work trips and also vacation. I
normally do not advocate surfing the Internet at work, but in this case I broke
that rule; albeit during my lunch break and ordered some amazing new
products. I especially cannot wait for
my designer handbags to arrive. They are
amazing handbags! I may have to do a
haul video so you all can see them. So
much for the Monday blues, but in this case they were banished by a bit of well
deserved shopping.
