Today I wanted to tweak my fitness look a bit so I decided to go to Reebok and re up on some cool knee high compression socks. I wasn't in the store for more than a minute before I asked to see a pair of shoes that caught my eye. These would go great with my new socks - and they were 1/2 off! I intended to get socks but I left with socks and a new pair of shoes. I am weak in the face of style and I obviously can't pass up a great deal.
Emotions lead to an impulse buy. I consider myself a professional and it's important that others view me in that light. The clothes make the man and the lifting shoes make the athlete. I know this to be false yet I am persuaded to the dark side of consumerism. Dammit my new kicks look good and I feel good in my new gear. That's all that really matters. Right?!
