Why I love Dick’s Sporting Goods (and finally getting my pink North Face sweatshirt)

I have been coveting a North Face sweatshirt that Dick’s Sporting Goods sells like you can’t believe. It’s one of those “frivolous” purchases that I really don’t need (at all), but that I really want. You know what I’m talking about, right?
