shopping with sisters.

I've become so incredibly cheap in the last four years.

I wear mostly the clothes I had prior to my marriage. Or hand-me-downs. Or thrift-store finds. Or mega-sale items from Old Navy. And I have major problems spending any money at all, feeling immediately guilty and tormented with buyer's remorse.

I've been realizing that there has to be more of a balance when it comes to frugality in my life, because I am turning into a total scrooge.

My mom sent us sisters on a little shopping excursion, telling me to buy something that I wouldn't normally get for myself. My sisters are pros at spending money, haha, but I remember what it was like to be that young and care-free.

We make a good shopping team because they tell me to go-for-it and I tell them to put-some-of-it-back.

But I did completely endorse Tamsin's swimsuit purchase. Who wouldn't when she looked that adorable?
