Shopfession: Feminist Comedy and Work Wardrobe

I have another shopfession. I needed more plain tees to wear to work so I picked one up in royal blue for $9 at Target. It's simple and practical.

I also bought the album of a feminist comic for $9.99 on iTunes. Liz Miele got a lot of attention recently for her bit about feminist sex positions that is definitely worth a watch/listen. I would have downloaded it from her website or Bandcamp but it was only on iTunes or Amazon.

I've been checking out Beck post-Kanye idiocy and he's got that sound I expect would accompany me in the indie movie that would be my life. Other groups I've thought would fit this bill are Now, Now and The Joy Formidable. Maybe a little Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs.

Honestly, before Kanye decided to prove he's an egotistical man-child again, the only thing I knew about Beck was that he had a really cool music video back when MTV and VH1 used to air those. I know I like one song. I don't count this album as part of my shopfession since I 'bought' it with Viggle points.

The big shopfession I have is two dresses I got from eshakti. They make great clothes, I was bored, and everything on the website was 30% off. I got one jersey shirtdress for $56 plus $7 for customizing the sleeves in addition to this red and black color block dress for $46 plus $7 for nixing the sleeves.

The color block dress is what started this. It reminded me of Deadpool and I could wear it to work. If I 86 the sleeves it will be easier to rock them in the summer and I've got all sorts of shrugs and cardigans. While both dresses are practical, it definitely does remind why I use website blockers. I considered asking for them for by birthday but I figured if I want to embrace consumerism, I should pay for it.

I really suck at this not buying stuff thing.
