Day 17- Leather Obsession

TGIF

I've been in Italy for 2 weeks! Can you believe it?! Well during these two weeks I have been very frugal with my money. I have been dying for leather...leather jacket, leather purse, leather wallet, leather boots, I want everything LEATHER! I live very close to the central market in Florence, but did not buy anything during my stay. I've been comparing prices and bartering all the time.

But today was the day! L-Day, LEATHER DAY! I had a half day of school so my friend Lauren and I went shopping immediately! We couldn't wait any longer! First we went to a store called Promead. It's similar to Forever 21. Like I said in previous blogs, all stores are having 70% off sales to clear the racks for the new season. That's why I wanted to buy buy buy, but my guilt was saying no no no! But I did get a few things...at Promead I got a dark brown leather jacket and a cotton black blazer! The prices were unreal!

Next we went to the market where I purchased a gray leather side purse. I'm so happy that I can carry a cute purse now! I also got a few postcards for my collection. Lauren bought a few scarves and some cards as well.

But the best part of the day was discovering a Chinese restaurant! I was so happy to eat food other than bread and pasta. It was sooooooo tasty! I'm looking forward to getting my own groceries and eating vegetables!

Ciao for now
