Is shopping a sport?
Kristin and I doing our damage at Fashion Valley
We had ourselves quite a successful shopping trip but between the two of us, that is a given.
I brought the subject up to Kristin, the one I have disagreed with my husband about.
Is shopping a sport?
My husband says a hobby. But when I find an awesome find, worth the $, you can't tell me that that kill isn't any different than hunting. Is it not? And hunting is a sport. And you can hunt as a necessity to eat and I can shop to merely clothe myself. But to hunt for fun, is that not the same as a good hunt for clothes? Or for a white peter pan collared shirt today? Which the American Apparel employee responds to my search with, "Is that for a Halloween costume?"
Really?!! No. No, it is not for a costume. You shouldn't work here. Or in this mall. And don't ever say that again because it's rude.
She actually did lead me to them. But they weren't fitted but I am considering this one. Shopping is not an easy sport. It takes effort and sometimes sweat. You gotta grab the goods before others do! But it does give me a rush-- a huge rush of endorphins thus making me a happier person and resulting in a happier, healthier lifestyle.
Cheers to our health and the sport of shopping!
Who's with me?!
We can bask in our winnings all day long!

Oh Linds. I love you. AND SHOPPING IS A SPORT! Don't let Cam let you ANY DIFFERENT! SURING ISN'T A SPORT! Take that Cameron!
Ha ha!! This was funny! I totally agree! :)
one of my best talents is not paying full price for anything. i'd say that's an athletic skill!
hahahahahaha! i totally see what youre saying! and you are dang good at shopping because you always look so sexy. i saw peter pan collared shirts at h&m when we were there. and yes, that employee obviously doesn't know anything about trends ;)
I really like this post! So true! You dominate the sport of shopping. You always look so beautiful and stylish.
nice thought!
Definitely a sport. Especially when you are moving in on the kill for a certain piece of clothing. You need skillz =)

I'm with you here, I'm pretty sure it constitutes a sport. It can be hard work, tiring and the more you work at it the better you get! xx

you should become a personal shopper and find me a casual white dress for pictures on the beach (mother in laws request). It's really hard to find one that I love in the fall...white is for summer.
I'm with you, I take great satisfaction in shopping! Sure, let's call it a sport. And therapeutic, I might add.
that shirt is AWESOME.
I consider myself a sports enthusiast, and i would definitely say that shopping is a sport. So shop on!
p.s. your friend looks adorable pregnant.
I totally miss Fashion Valley! haha &yes, sometimes it literally can be a sport!
Shopping is definitely not, by any definition, a sport.
