I’m not an impulse shopper, except when it comes to really weird things. For instance, there was a brief period of time when my insomnia was even more out of control than usual, and I may have bought Bump-Its and a Shake Weight. I wish I were making that up; I’m so ashamed. In my right mind, however, I’m usually pretty choosy about my clothing and accessory purchases — particularly when shopping online. I often stalk them until they go on sale, which can mean missing out completely, if they sell out. This has happened pretty often. Now, if I really love something and keep stalking it all over the internet, I might give in when I see the stock getting low (case in point: my recent Dita “Hurricane” sunglasses purchase – a MAJOR splurge for me). In this case, I had this Free People “Tell Tale” Lace Tunic on my wishlist and in my virtual cart for months. The silhouettes I gravitate toward are pretty forgiving when it comes to sizing, which is helpful when shopping online. But with fitted long sleeves, it gets a little more difficult – I have larger arms and often run into issues with them being too tight. Luckily, I found this tunic in Lord & Taylor and got to actually try it on! Needless to say, it came home with me. Actually, I put it on hold so that I could get the discount during their friends and family sale (which started the following day), but that’s pretty much the same thing, right?
