Who says consumer spending is down?

Because I’m a consumer, and my spending is waaayy up.

I just got back from a 5 hour shopping spree at Short Hills (which, as it turns out, is a rather ritzy mall).  I bought:

  • leather ankle boots (Aldo)
  • leather pumps (Ann Taylor…only $7!)
  • 2 sweaters (Anthropologie)
  • skinny jeans (Express)

Everything I bought was on sale, but it was still too much money.  Also, the original point of my shopping trip was to buy a new pant/skirt suit, but I couldn’t find one I liked for less than $300, which I decided was over the limit.  Oh well.
