Putzin' around the mall...

Thanks everyone for your comments yesterday! It seems like most of my readers have the attitude that they don't let fear control their lives. They do their thang and run their runs and don't let anything hold them back!

I probably don't say it enough, but I really appreciate everyone who visits my little corner of the internet each day. Sometimes I talk about running, sometimes I talk about life... Sometimes it is serious and sometimes it is "fluff" (like today!). You get a little bit of everything from me.

Thanks for reading Meg Go Run! I'm so glad I started a blog and I am so glad I met so many interesting, intelligent, FUN people via that blog-o-sphere!

ONWARD!!!!

Sometimes I enjoy just wandering around the mall. The mall closest to my house has a lot of great stores I enjoy looking around in. I am notorious for spending an hour or two looking and not buying a single thing.

That's what happened this past Saturday.

Now, there were a lot of things I wanted, but nothing I needed. Sometimes I have trouble allowing myself to buy things I don't need... which is actually ridiculous because even when I think I need something, I don't actually NEED it.

Let's talk about the things I saw at the mall on Saturday (or just things in general) that I want right now, but I don't need. In fact, I will never NEED them. I will only ever WANT them!

1. Colored Soho leggings from NY & Co. I actually would have bought these if they had my size! They were on sale for $20. You can't beat that!

2. Tahiti Island Dream fragrance from Bath & Bodyworks. Kristina always raves about this, so I finally popped into the store to smell it. I was immediately in love. I didn't buy it because I didn't have a coupon and refused to pay $14 for 8 oz of the stuff. I have now signed up for the mailing list and hope to score some coupons!

3. Brown heeled booties. I'm still looking for the perfect pair at the perfect price. I do have a 30% off coupon for Kohl's so that probably will be where I end up getting them. Here are some examples of the styles I like:

4. This ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS DRESS I saw at Express. I don't even know why I went into Express. The prices are way over what I would ever spend on clothes. However, this dress was only $88. That is not bad because it is a really fancy dress and clothes from Express are very well made. I still have a pair of capris from Express I wore during student teaching. THAT WAS 12 YEARS AGO!!! They are still perfectly good pants!

Note: The dress is not as short as it appears in this picture since normal people's legs are not as long as this model's legs!

May I also mention that THE GIRL IN THE PICTURE IS NOT REAL!

NO ONE LOOKS LIKE THAT!

Can't they show a "normal" person in that dress? It is a beautiful dress and would look absolutely gorgeous on a normal body.

5. A chunky gold watch. I want to be "the girl who wears a chunky gold watch". For just $7.99, I could have been that girl! (They were on sale at NY & Co.) Alas, I am still not that girl.

Example watch only. Not the one from NY&Co.

6. Jennifer Aniston's hair color. I have a lot of grey hair. I dye my roots every month with whatever boxed dye is on sale at Dollar General. The dyed color is darker than my natural color but at least it is not grey! But what I would really like is a beautiful hair color like this:

What are some things you "want" right now?

Do you like putzin' around the mall?

If I splurged on ONE of these items, what would you recommend? I am leaning towards the booties because it will be a one time purchase. The hair is going to be UPKEEP... It will be like the splurge that just keeps on splurging...
