My first job in Manhattan was on Fifth Avenue. How lucky I was, I thought, to be in the center of this dream city. Most of all, though, I loved the clothing shops. All I had to do was wrap up the day’s work and step outside, and everything was there. J. Crew, Anthropologie, Loft, Banana Republic ...It’s hard to resist those glitzy displays showing off an array of drapery wool coats perfect for mid fall, dresses to match any personality you’re in the mood to show, and cute socks with fox faces printed on them ― especially when the clothes are super affordable, as they are at so many hip retailers these days. I found myself buying too many clothes all at once, and I wasn’t the only one: Americans as a whole tend to overshop.

我的第一份工作地点是在曼哈顿的第五大道。我当时想，我是多么幸运，能够在这个梦想城市的正中心工作。最重要的是，我喜欢服装店。我只要搞定一天的工作然后走出办公楼，就可以各种逛，到处都是J. Crew, Anthropologie, Loft, Banana Republic, 闪闪发亮的展品一排排地陈列在那，垂坠的毛衣对那深秋的季节可谓完美，任何个性、任何心情都能找到合适的衣服来搭配，还有印有狐狸脸图案的可爱袜子，这一切都让人难以抗拒——更何况他们的价格还那么亲民，就像现在很多的服装零售商里那样。我发现我每次一下就会买很多，而且不仅仅只有我一个，整个美国都有这种“买太多”的倾向！
