An Obsession Confession

My name is Sara.

And I am inappropriately obsessed with:

Hoodies

and

Velour Yoga Pants.

I cannot get enough of them.

Whenever I go to my favorite store (10 points, or a bottle of kechup, whichever your preference, to the first person who names my current favorite storethatisnotJewel), all I have draped over my arm are those two types of clothing.

It's rather ridiculous considering that I do not wear pants out of the house, unless you count tucked into my Uggs under a long black skirt.

My hoodie obsession is bordering on inappropriate. Yesterday was grey velour. Today was navy terry. Friday was black sweater. It's ridiculous.

I always complain to Benjie that I have nothing to wear.

I'm beginning to think that it's not that I have no clothing. It's because I constantly buy the same items over and over again in slightly different versions.

But then again, maybe hoodies are my signature look? Jackie O had her sunglasses, Sara P has her hoodies? That's gotta be it.

And I must say that wearing velour yoga pants and a terry hoodie while drinking red zinger out of my monogrammed mug while your kids happily eat their tuna quiche, salad, and veggie rice is rather lovely and Susie-Homemakery.

And it's also much more relaxing to drink my red zinger now that I don't feel like I need to ration it. I'm plowing through box 1 out of 6 at a steady clip.

Hooray for Hoodies!

Hooray for Velour Yoga Pants!

Hooray for Red Zinger!

I promise that I'll share the P for Dummies book soon. But really, it's not so exciting. Don't get all excited over it. I'm also just very lazy, and my camera is currently full with 9 months of pictures that need to be uploaded to Snapfish so as to empty my memory card and take pictures of P for Dummies. Yes, Shosh, I still have not emptied my camera. I'm clearly mother of the year.

I guessed totally wrong as I was thinking Marshalls. I love doing the Food 4 less-Marshalls-Sam's combo on Main.

Shira said...

I have nothing in albums past Y's bris...And Sara, yes, YOU are "very lazy"...How could you not find the time between school and couponing and raising children to upload 9 months worth of pictures? Shame.

Unknown said...

I totally get the hoodie thing - today is pink sweater, maybe tomorrow black velour.
Oh and I also got Unique, just didn't write it. Maybe Tamar can bring back some ketchup for me.

Oh man- I was totally going to say Unique! Everyone got here before me because I was actually busy working this morning- go figure!

Shoot... I wish I would have checked earlier I would have said Unique and The Sally Army!
Can I win a box of Cheez-Its? My new obsession:)
Salena aka (The one at Keshet who told you about the Sally Army)

Miriam said...

Hi Salena!! I <3 The Salvation Army! Great store. I (gasp) haven't been to a thrift store in (gasp) a couple of months- because I have been sooooo busy. Must. get . there.

JewishMama said...

I like the idea of dirt cheap stuff, but aren't you afraid of taking something a little "extra" home? (Like bugs?!)

DESJ and Company said...

JM-
I wash everything at least once before I wear it-sometimes twice. So far, so good.

Anonymous said...

I have never brought home anything in the, dare I admit, 17 years I have been thrifting:) I also wash/dry clean (CD 1 Price cleaners) items. Sometimes it costs more to dry clean than the actual item.

JM try it! The store on Dempster is like a goldmine (not sure where your live). I also sell what I find on Ebay. Once you turn $10 into $400; you won't look back!

Miriam get yourself to Unique, on Monday of course:)
