Still Into You

The week before finals is usually super stressful for me. It's easier to study for finals than it is to finish all my final projects. Last week was especially horrible because on top of all the academic things I had to finish, I took a day off from school to spend time with my family. To make a long story short, my grandmother was put on hospice, or end-of-life-care, on Friday. Needless to say, I was/am a complete emotional wreck. When I was at work on Saturday, I was able to take my mind off of it for a little while, but I did leave early.

Thankfully, my friend Sarah picked me up from work for dinner and some good old-fashioned retail therapy . 

First we went to Panera Bread. We both got the mac and cheese and I got a super delicious ice green tea.

Tangy white cheddar mac and cheese

Then, we stopped at Target for about an hour and then hit the mall to go to Forever21. 4 hours (and $100) later, we were exhausted! We had such a great time making fun of random fashions and tweens who walk the mall for entertainment. It was totally worth standing for hours.

This ootd is just part of my haul.

One weird thing is that I was so reluctant to spend my money. I'm not used to spending a huge chunk of change all at once so I talked myself out of buying a few things Am I the only one with this problem?
