Hi, my name is Cathy and I’m addicted to shopping for clothes! Sometimes I feel like I need to attend a “shoppers addict” group because of how much I love to shop. As seasons come and go, I keep my eye out for the latest trends and always buy new pieces to add to my collection. Each day, I get out of bed and try on different combinations of items until I’m satisfied with my look. I go on with my day of running to meetings, running errands, running around the house, or just plain running until I’m exhausted. But I have to say, at the end of the day, there is nothing better then coming home, jumping into my comfy PJs and relaxing.
I recently realized that I love my pajamas and they are a staple to my fashion wardrobe! Pajamas offer the opportunity for me to express a whole different fashion personality then the rest of my closet. I have polka dots for when I’m in a happy mood, black for when I’m feeling somber, shorts for those summer days, and an oversized t-shirt for when I just care about comfort! I even have some flannel PJs with dogs all over them for the fun of it! Regardless of how professional I have to be for work that day or how nice I have to dress for an evening out, I can always come home and be a completely different person in my pajamas! Here's an example of a pajama outfit I love:
As I begin my holiday gift shopping, I also realized that I like buying pajamas as gifts. My husband gets a new pair of flannel pants ever year, my niece will probably get one of the cute styles with monkeys (monkeys are so big this year), and I might have to get something fun for my sister-in-law too (since there are grown up styles with monkeys too).
If you shop in a Sears store through Saturday, 11/14, you can earn a $10 Fashion Reward Card for every $50 you spend in apparel. I can get all 3 Christmas gifts, plus $10 back to shop again next week!* There goes trying to get over my addiction!

Spring Break 2009 has come and gone and our small family didn't get to visit any warm, exotic places. Only one thing comes to mind. I'll have to pretend summer vacation starts now!
Sitting at my desk amidst the buzz of co-workers discussing important topics, phones ringing, calendar reminders and other stimuli that work well at keeping my mind in constant motion, I'll force myself to think about summer plans for a few moments instead. Can I afford a few moments to relish in the thoughts of warm sand and breezy walks along the shore?
But, the snow falling out my window is a sharp contrast from the hot rays of sun I imagine on my shoulders and face. Closing my eyes, I see turquoise water with its white foam lapping against the sand, dotted with colorful beach towels and playing children. Calypso music plays at one of the resorts behind me. (Enter the fancy, fruity drink adorned with an umbrella.) I sub-consciously realize that I haven't bought a new swimsuit in a long time.
I sometimes make it to the store way too late into the season. By then all of the really nice stuff is long gone, already being worn and washed by some other organized family. (Calypso music tapers off to sound of increased heartrate.) Even if we need to stay close to home this Spring and Summer, we'll still visit some of the local beaches along Lake Michigan and a few waterparks. I should shop online now while this is fresh on my mind.
My eyes pop open to sears.com on my screen. Doing a quick search for swim suits, I find a great bathing suit guide to help me calm my fear of showing up on the beach
this summer in a faded, ill-fitting swimsuit.
After narrowing my choices down to two options, I find the perfect sandals and sunglasses, too! The best part is that I found my swimsuit, sunglasses and sandals on sale and stayed within by $75 budget.
