Is it just me? My husband told me to go clothes shopping (which is not my favorite thing to do believe it or not). So I go. But as I'm spending money I am reminded of how my old jeans don't look so bad if I simply buy the right boots... or how I really don't need dresses do I? Because every woman should have that little black dress as well. All I need are a few rich looking tops on sale for a few bucks each right (to go with my old jeans and new boots)? Pitiful I guess. Well all I could bring myself to purchase were some nice high heel boots (because they can go with so many looks), and a cocktail dress (aqua and black)... cute but I am keeping the receipt.
I suppose that as a wife and mother of only one (my hubby) bringing in the income, I see where money can so easily go elsewhere... savings, to someone in need, a lingering bill, something for the kids, something for the house, something for the cars, towards a vacation... But I should not forget that as a lady, it is wise and respectful to not avoid my outer appearance - which becomes so easy to do. It has become so easy to go through the day and realize that I had not looked into a mirror all day. A spouses upkeep in my opinion can be just as important as a savings or investment. It is an investment made within marriage that can greatly help to keep the flames going if done respectfully within balance.
