because brooke said so....

brookie tagged me, and what she says goes:

things i'll SPLURGE on:

1. eating out. i am a sucker for a great meal and lucky for me, so is brom.

2. a beautiful pair of shoes or a sweater. i have to REALLY love it if i am going to pay more than $100. for it, but if i can't stop thinking about it, i usually give in.

3. hair care....most of the time. i have learned time and time again that is is worth it (yes, the hard way,) but occasionally i will forget and try to do the cheap thing. badly done marcie, badly done.

4. paper products. stationary, note cards, gift wrap, calendars, etc. it's a sickness.

5. gifts for others. i can try to go cheap, but i am not very good at it, and when i do i usually feel guilty.

things i can go CHEAP on:

1. candy at the $ store.

2. clothing, i am learning to find a bargain and i think i have done a decent job if i do say so myself. i'd like to the thank the academy, the kimball junction outlets, forever 21, old navy and the {GULP!} sale rack/rummage pile.

3. furniture and home accessories. God bless you Ikea. seriously, some of it is REALLY well made.

4. jeans. if the expensive ones made me look that much hotter, i'd probably cave, but i have yet to find some that make my butt look better than my banana republic or gap sale jeans. so there.

5. bags. i love bags, but i know how trashed they get (in my hands,) so i can't stomach spending too much money on them. the problem is, i try to make them live past a reasonable lifespan and thus, you will likely see me carrying a few tattered favorites.
