So times are tough and frivolous spending is apparently out the window. I recently found my self in the shopping mecca that is Dundrum Centre on the heels of a business meeting that didn’t go anywhere. I was having a typical shopping day, frustrated at the clothes falling the wrong way on my body, or vice versa! That was until I stepped off the escalator and saw it.
It was perfect. Lined. A grey-ish purple colour. Suitable for work and play. Ridiculously expensive for my current financial mini-climate. Luckily for me, Mum’s words rang through my mind. ‘If you like it that much, you’ve got to have it!’
It’s not that Mum was a big spender, in fact she spent most of her time in second hand shops. But Mum loved just the thought that a new dress, skirt, top would bring you so much joy. So I thought of Mum and banished the screaming panic I could hear coming from my Laser card.
She was right you know, sometimes you’ve to ignore a recession and find the joy in joblessness!
