How would that look on me?
That shirt right over there
I want to buy it.
I want that shirt so bad,
But it’s not just the shirt
The shoes on side of it
How much does it cost?
I want that, too.
I have a shopping syndrome.
I have to have that.
Those jeans are nice.
I wonder what’s the price.
Buying big boogie purses.
I love those shades.
I want the accessories
Just to match that one shirt.
Do I have enough?
I guess I’ll just spend my mom’s money
And get those shorts I was looking at
But that shirt won’t match that.
What store can I find a tank at?
Get out my way.
I saw that shirt first.
NO,
WAIT!
Those shoes are calling my name.
I wish I could buy the whole store.
