Hi, my names Susannah and I have a "spending issue"

There was a chick on Dr. Phil today (I just admitted to watching Dr. Phil, oh heavens) who had a "spending issue". On a regular day she came home from the mall with about twelve bags of clothes. Now, Phil (we're tight, so I can drop the blasted Dr.) and the chicks fiance were worried that she would screw up the marriage because of her spending.

Perhaps this is why I don't date. I am protecting some hypothetical future siggy from my horrid spending habits.

I have two savings accounts. One has $6 in it, the other has $23 (merely because I must keep $20 in there to keep it open). And I have no job. Yet- I am in talks about moving out in January with Sarah if I have not finished all of my preparations for moving to Vegas, my tuition will cost $15,000 for the ONE YEAR, I owe my father $120+, I'm feeding a caffeine habit, AND I need to buy four CDs at regular club price by next Spring!
If I have cash I will spend it. Guaranteed. I have literally gathered quarters from around my car then made a trip to the store. I shop and I shop and I shop.

But... I am an excellent shopper. I catch the sales. I know what will give me the bang for the buck. I am not afraid of the clearance rack. Yet... I have excellent taste. Pricey taste, perhaps, but excellent. Sure, a wide-knit sweater with embroidered puppies on it may be less expensive than a lace-trimmed satin cami, but come on...

I find extreme delight in glancing at Tiffanys logo. (I lost my Tiffanys virginity in August. Wow. And even better- I was with The Honeyman, so they actually paid attention to me as I perused the platinum engagement rings and did not give me the glare they retain for single girls staring longingly at the sparkle of a solitaire. Woohoo!) My heart gave a little jump as I wandered in the Gucci boutique. There was a skip in my step as I made my way to Kenneth Cole's (who I like to call Kenny, but get chastized for it by Honeyman and Sarah). I long for a Vera Wang wedding gown. I lust over Kate Spade bags. Bobbi Brown is my makeup idol. Oh heavens am I a Label Whore.

But I can handle CoverGirl. I can handle Isaac Mizrahi's Target line and not his Spring line. I don't have to be a slave to the label. I can be frugal. I can be a skilled clearance shopper.
