What I Left Behind/Or the Non Find of the Week

I was shopping at Macy’s the other day for homeware when I got distracted and found myself in the clothing department.  I am one of those people that loves Macy’s.  Most of the time.  Sometimes, though, it is full of a bunch of stuff that no one wants and that’s why it’s on sale.

This day, I found a little “fur” (faux) shrug and a sparkly t shirt.  I’m looking for something for holiday parties that I will keep me warm and still be festive.  Therefore, the shrug.

When I first put it on, I thought it was  great.  Not so bulky that I looked like a linebacker but warm enough to actually wear and serve my purposes.  The problem was I kept noticing that some of the “fur” was slowly coming off.  In fact, every time I looked down, a little more “fur” was on my clothes or the floor.  At first I thought that this was a brief problem I could solve.  Guess what?  It wasn’t.

It was going to be one of those things that I get home and decide that I won’t ever wear or worse yet, I wear and I’m embarrassed by it.

So here’s the deal:  sometimes even if you love something, you have to keep moving on.  To make Smart Choices you have to have all the parts present:  great fit, nice price, fits into your wardrobe, and did I mention?  You need to love it!
