There must be something in the air as April comes to a close as the weather starts flirting with summer. On the one hand, I seem to be having some crazy allergy symptoms. And then there’s the fact that I flipped out and bought a pink trench coat that came to almost $170 with tax.
I wouldn’t have bought pink as my first choice, but otherwise it was exactly what I’d been wanting for a long time. And it didn’t come in any other colors. And then I said, what the heck, I probably need a little more pink in my life. (It was from Club Monaco, in case any of you feel a similar fit of madness coming on!)
Thinking about this further, I wonder if the color pink triggers some kind of crazy spending impulse in my brain, as I have also bought pink shoes that were impractical, if not terribly expensive. Though other than that, my spending trigger color has tended to be grey– if it’s charcoal grey and it’s a sweater, I have a hard time resisting. And my other sensual spending triggers are more about texture than color– soft cashmere, buttery leather, the almost silky touch of a certain denim… some things just feel so good, you want to spend money on them!
Have the sensations of spring stimulated your spending?
