I can relate. When I walk into a store this time of year, I am overcome by the desire to buy a table centerpiece and matching placemats, even though I've never used either one in real life. Or a comfy sweater, when I haven't even felt cold in several years. Or silk leaves, for some reason or other. And who can resist those bags of candy? Maybe fall shopping reminds me of my childhood, when school shopping meant new penny loafers and knee socks and plaid skirts and sweaters. Comic by Sarah See Andersen. Link -via Pleated-Jeans
