Blog Challenge: Day Seven

#7 - Where do you like to shop? 
Well this is a depressing blog topic for me!  Four years ago when I was still in advertising sales working for ABC in Milwaukee I used to have a monthly American Express bill of $1,000 a month.  Sure half of it was for gas and groceries and such...but the at least $300-$500 a month was "fun stuff" like shopping.  And now?  I know for a fact I don't spend $300 a year on clothes for Jeff and I.  These past four years I've learned to live a very fruegal life, and one of them is the waredrob.  Each year, we each get a new pair of cheap jeans from Target, and usually any new winter clothes we get is part of Christmas from my parents or his or each other.  And then in summer we each get maybe a new pair of shorts or tops or two, but very minimal.  Basically we've been lucky that we're still the same size so we have a lot of older clothes.  Just last night my MIL said "That's a cute sweater".  I told her it was 12 years old.  I realized it that morning that I hadn't worn it in forever, and I had a pic of myself in it my senior year in college!  Maybe I have a little bit of hoarding in me! Yikes!
So this is getting away from the point...where do I like to shop? I don't know anymore!  I just had fun using a Victoria's Gift card from my parents for my birthday to shop the semi annual sale (I got three tops & a pair of leggings for less than $75!).  And we almost always shop at Kohls because of how much you can get for so little.  A lot of my waredrob from the "old days" are from Macy's and an east coast shop I was addicted to when I lived in West Virginia called B.Moss.  I have an old shoe fetish that is hard to let go - so I'm a fan of DSW shoes.  If I had tons of money and could go on a shopping spree?  I'd go to this place called "Hot Momma" (yes, I know I'm not a mom yet, but I accedentally walked in there and the stuff looked awesome), Charming Charlies, and White House/Black Market.  Plus, I'm sure I'd still go to Kohls and my old staple: Macy's.  Anybody want to put me on "What Not to wear" so I can get that shopping spree?
