So I got home, to my college town, and spent a couple days mulling over where I would spend the money. I knew I could spend it on enough groceries for a couple months, if I spread it out, but I'm not really worried because I start work again soon.
Today I went out, and got groceries from Trader Joe's. Awesome, and enough to last me for a few weeks. Then I went to the mall. I had looked at some shoes online that I thought would be a cool addition to my winter wardrobe, but knew I didn't need. I mean, I have two pairs of rainboots already.
While at the mall I did buy two outfits. They aren't for wearing out, they're for wearing indoors, with one other person present to enjoy it. I bought lingerie. One was only $4 on clearance, which was a steal, the other thing was pretty expensive, but completely worth it.
Why would I spend my extra money on something like that? Something that isn't going to really benefit me? Well, actually it will. It makes me feel pretty. I'm not saying I have to feel good about myself, but there are times when you need the little boost. I like going around some days, in plain ol' clothes, knowing that underneath all the layers I have on something black and lacy.
Since I started investing money in cute underwear every once in awhile I've felt a lot more confident about my body. I don't care anymore that my calves are too large for most boots. I don't care that my hips are always going to make jean shopping impossible, though I will roll my eyes a little. I don't care that my stomach is fatty. I don't care that I have stretch marks on my legs.
Because I feel beautiful, and happy with my body.
And the remainder of my money went to my textbook fund.
