Buying in the off-season

My older sister visited one weekend. She enjoys walking around Wall Drug. Let's be serious. Who doesn't?

Yes, it has a lot of useless pac-rat stuff. But it's fun to just look around. And in a tourist trap like that, how fun is it to just goof off? I'm not going to lie. I've lived in this town almost all my life, and I still play tourist when I go to Wall Drug.

My parents know and love me, but I even embarrass them sometimes. Oh well. I'm just being me, and they love that about me. I like to be a goof ball. I love that I don't care what people think.. most of the time.

The product of that characteristic can be seen in the photo.

And yes, there were other people in the store.. some that we even knew.

As for the hat: I have always wanted one like this. I should have bought it! Sadly, I still haven't started my job yet. However, I just recently received my tax return. Maybe I should return to see if it's still unpurchased. (I just made that word up!)

I know, I know. Why would you buy a winter hat when summer is just around the corner?

That's how I usually shop. It's cheaper that way. Buying them in the off-season. I bought a pair of really cute shorts in the winter. My shopping friend asked me why I was buying shorts when summer is so far away. I replied, "Uh, because it's on sale!" I bought the shorts for $4.99 (at Charlotte Russe, of course), originally $19.99.

That, in my opinion, is the best way to shop. Look at how much money I saved! Naturally, the only thing that sucks is you have to wait a season or two to actually wear it!

Hmm.. I really want to go back and buy the hat now!
