The Kohl's Conspiracy!

I am a victim of some sort of conspiracy.

My favorite store is Kohl's. On most any given Tuesday morning, you will find me there, meandering the aisles for the latest in cute clothes, jewelry must haves and household items I cannot do without. I love Tuesdays. I get up, get dressed and usher my child out the door. We drive the twenty minutes to her preschool, and honestly I try not to break into a run as we head for the door. After she is safely ensconced in her class, I book it toward the door and out into the parking lot, hoping to beat the other moms trying to maneuver out of the parking spaces.

Some mornings I meet a friend for breakfast at the Chick-fil-a, and some mornings, I head straight for the racks!

I love everything about the store, the clothes are just my style and the prices are really reasonable - honest! They have cool earrings and fun shoes and I don't think I have ever worn anything I bought from there without getting at least two compliments through out the day.

Given my love of all things Kohl's, I was super excited to receive not one, but two gift cards for the store this Christmas. People must have been paying attention when I was ever so slyly hint, hint, hinting!! I could not wait for life to return to normal and my favorite day of the week to appear -- and today was the day!

I was giddy with excitement after I met my friend for breakfast. I jumped in the car and scooted across the parking lot, bolted for the door and took a deep breath as I grabbed a shopping cart and headed off toward my favorite clothing section. I was armed with two gift cards, AND the checkbook, just in case I had a bit more in the cart than the cards allowed.

I searched the sale racks, searched the new spring arrivals, tried on a few items and decided against them. I wandered to the purses, the scarves, the jewelry. I traveled to the sportswear section (yea, like I really thought there would be something there for me!! -ha ha!) I checked out the housewares and even the little girl section, just in case I wanted to be selfless and get something for the little one. NOTHING. Not one single thing caught my eye. Lots of cute stuff, just nothing that was worth using my cards to purchase. I was a sad shopper. I did eventually find two sweaters that will do for the interval between winter and spring...so the day was not a total loss. But I was so disappointed.

Why is it that you can find all the cute stuff in the world when you have no money to buy, and when you have the resources, nothing is cute enough. It is a shopping conspiracy!

I guess I will just be obligated to continue to go there every Tuesday from now on, until something is gift card worthy. Just be forced to shop, at my favorite store, indefinitely! What a pity!!

Hope you are having a great day - shopping, working or playing! Thanks for stopping by!
