[Mia making a purchase of some darling skirts ... for the grand total of $2.00 for the two]
I want to be sure you all understand that I'm not always doom, gloom, pondering and obsessing about deeper matters. I don't always fall asleep wondering how I can better myself and maybe change a small corner of the world for the better. I don't always wake up with visions of a philosophical debate dancing in my head.I do know how to have a good time, and even though shopping has never topped the list of what I would most like to do with a bit of extra time, shopping in Delhi has proven to be great fun and WONDERFUL!
Whether it's Dilli Haat (where bargaining reigns supreme) or Sarojini (where you can get lost in a matter of 5 minutes if you're not careful) or INA or Indra (where you need to keep your mouth shut for all the flies) ... shopping here can be a blast!
Now, we don't have anything close to a Target (even though Spencers or Reliance might come *close*), but I think I've all but adjusted to the need to search for the things you need. It's become almost a game ... texting friends to say "hey, do you know where I can get a corkboard?" or "Can you help me find a box of bubbles?"
I've begun to enjoy a new sense of retail therapy ... whereby if I'm having a bad Delhi Day, I can hop/skip to a market and take my mind off of things for a bit ... wheel and deal a bit, and end up with a better outlook on life, a happier attitude and typically I "walk out" only having spent $5-10.
That's what I call budget-friendly retail therapy!
[Not the greatest photos, but these shoes (three pairs of darling, funky shoes) cost a total of $8.23 (yes, I know ... some of you Delhi-ites will say that I overpaid ...)]
Cute, eh?
