I am a consumer, don’t make me feel bad about it, it’s good for the economy.

Ok, so I am a consumer.
Growing up I didn’t have a lot, my wardrobe mainly consisted of hand me downs and things I could buy on my part time supermarket wage, as a result I have turned into an adult shopping machine – let loose on society with a healthy weekly salary in hand. It must be noted this ‘i need new things’ habit is met with a consistent disapproving look from my boyfriend.
The way I justify it is that in my line of work if I wasn’t a huge consumer we would have a big problem, in the same vein as ‘don’t trust a skinny chef’ blah blah blah.
This season I have found myself making some very smart shopping choices, as a result my wardrobe no longer frustrates me but makes me excited, being an ever evolving thing I feel like the internet and online shopping has made it extremly easy to hunt down exactly what I want.
Which brings me to my next point, I tried this sweater on at Incu about 4 months ago and dreamed of it ever since, when I went back about 3 weeks ago, they had sold out, I bit the bullet and brought it online at apc.fr and I am so happy that I did.
If you want one you can buy one here, I strongly suggest that you do, look how happy I am about it in the photos.
