I don't think there is anything else in the world that makes my stomach jump as much as scoring a hard-to-get piece. It's the thrill of the chase and the glory of the conquer.
What's this, I spy, on my Christmas tree?
An outfit to come... eeeepppp!!
(unfortunately, there was ONE LEFT in the store. But I continue my search to give one away. Trust me, I'm good at stalking fashion items.)
I too love a good stalking. In fact, my biggest problem is that I can't turn it off. I just ordered a Nanette Lepore dress tonight off of Ebay that I wanted *forever* from early fall 2009 and OMG *there it was in my size, brand new with tags* AND the seller was running a 15% off sale.
So when I proudly shrieked to Husband, "I FOUND A NANETTE LEPORE DRESS I HAD WANTED FOOOREVER AND I BOUGHT IT!" he didn't seem NEARLY as enthused OR happy for me. No, not at all.
Doesn't matter that I have a closet full of 2w349832974 dresses I already don't wear, as he then astutely pointed out. I didn't have THIS dress in my closet. THIS. DRESS.
THISSS.
*falls over*
(While I'm rambling, I totally get it from my mom, who is a bargain shopper and gets that exact same sense of victory over buying 100 cans of $.10 beans from the Dent & Damage store here in town. So really, Husband should count his lucky stars- I could be buying really horrible, out-of-date cans of beans instead of pretty dresses. HE NEEDS TO BE MORE THANKFUL.)
Jealous! I'm having my friends who are off visiting relatives in relatively rural areas stalk out Targets for me. I can't believe how endlessly frustrating the hunt has been for me!
Ha! Nice. :)
