Retail Therapy

To go along with my post on Wednesday about therapy, I thought I'd let you in on some much needed retail therapy that I got done on Tuesday. :)

I am a strong believer in retail therapy. My Mom has always told me when I'm sad to get out of the house and do some shopping! It may not solve all my problems but it sure does give me some sort of happiness and I'll take all the happiness I can get! :)

Because of my injury, I can't do much outside. It hurts to walk or sit for too long and I tend to get a bit anxious as well. On Tuesday, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and head over to Target on my own. This is a big deal because I usually have my husband or my mother-in-law with me whenever I need to run errands. I parked in my handicap spot and grabbed an electric cart and was on my way. The clothing aisles at Target are a bit hard to navigate with the cart and I did get a bit anxious at first, but once I found some cute pieces and headed to the fitting room I felt much better.

I wasn't that interested in anything but what was on the clearance racks. I felt like if I could find a good deal, then this trip would be that much more worth it! After a few racks and a bit frustration from bumping into things with my cart I found two lonesome pairs of pants that happened to be in my size! I was so excited!

The best part of this find was that they were both marked down to $8.38! I even got the red pair for $7.50 because it didn't have the belt! These ankle pants are really stretchy and perfect for date night with my husband or even great for work once I go back. 

After my great discovery in the clothing section, I headed over to the stationary aisle and picked up the prettiest journal. It has everything I needed in it and was only $2.99!

I have a love for cherry blossoms and knew this was the one when I found it. If my journal writing goes as well as I hope it does, I plan on picking up more of these and stock up!

This shopping trip was so needed and I'm so pleased with what I got. I'd like to shop on my own more often but it all depends on my pain levels for the day or even week. For now I'll appreciate these little moments I have and continue moving forward. :)

I hope you have a great weekend!
