Confession Session

I have a small confession to make…Don’t worry I didn't rob a bank or steal from a small child, nothing THAT serious!  When I first started blogging, I was inspired by Blair at Atlantic Pacific, to be honest I wanted to be just like HER.  I thought to myself, WOW – someone can get 17,000 followers just by posting pics of themselves? Yeah I can do that – EASY!

NEWSFLASH! Not gonna happen!  I realized witihin a few days of blogging that I had set the bar for myself WAY TOO HIGH!  I thought that somehow magically overnight I would gain 17,000 followers by posting pictures of myself, I was just setting myself up for disappointment and failure! #EPICFAIL

Reasons I’m never going to be Blair:

#1 Observe below: Blair looking all sexy and chic posing on a tree-lined Street  ----> Me looking all Like Me posing in my Living Room with a disgusting lamp and old office chair in the background, story of my life... 

#2 – I’m never going to own designer clothes: Can’t afford them, never will…even if I could I would MUCH rather spend my money on something else.  I think it’s so pointless to spend $500 on a designer shirt when I can dig through the racks at Ross and buy a whole new wardrobe for the same price.

#3 – I’m not taking pictures with some high dollar fancy smanshy camera!:  I’ve got a free photographer {my friend from work, thanks Anna} and I’ve got an iPhone, THAT’S IT!

#4 – I’m not a size Negative Zero: Never will be and nor do I want to be.  It’s just not the way my body is built.

Now that I’ve realized my original dream of becoming Blair isn’t going to work out, where does that leave me and my little ol’ Blog?

I’ve been thinking…what is it that I’m good at, what do I like to blog about?  IDEA!

I’m constantly shopping trying to find the next best deal.  I HATE, let me repeat and emphasize HATE paying full price for anything.  That seriously just takes all the fun out of shopping.  So here I am digging around in the discount stores, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross looking for the next best deal.  You would be surprised to know that some of these stores actually have CURRENT FASHIONS! You just have to look for them.  No, I’m not going to be greeted with some Champs {thanks Heather, RHOC} when I walk in the front door at Ross, but I don’t care!  I already have my own personal sized mimosa mixed up in my purse and ready to go, haha!

I decided, rather than trying to be someone that I’m not, I’m going to blog about all the wonderful discounts and deals that I come across {I even go to garage sales people, they are like gold mines!}  Sure, I’m probably still going to post pictures of myself in outfits, just with the mind set of “Look what I found for only 20 Bucks!”  So, be prepared to see a lot of the same stuff I’m already posting, just with an emphasis on Bargains that I come across.

I look forward to sharing my shopping addiction BARGAINS with all of you wonderful ladies!

Have a Great Weekend Everyone! Did you change the direction of your blog after you started?
