A month ago today, I made a vow to myself. I vowed that for four months, I will not buy a single garment, shoes, accessories, etc. No to shopping sprees!! Ooohhhh, it seems like it's been years!!!
If you're wondering why I would do such thing, here are the following reasons:
* Every time I browse at any store or even online, I HAVE to buy something!
* If I see something I really like and it comes in other colors, I'll buy it all
* I'm a sucker for shoes so I buy 'em in bunches
* A gorgeous blouse or shirt must go with the perfect jeans or skirt and I won't stop 'til I find both even if I already have something similar in my closet!
* I try to convince myself, 'Hey, it's a great sale - it's only $10! And then I can't seem to ignore the other "great sales"
If I keep going, it'll probably take several posts LOL! So like a true addict, I've been going through withdrawals. I even slipped last week! I saw a double-strap buckle belt at Ann Taylor that would go great with a few things in my closet. BUT...If I'm going to be serious about this, I would have to completely commit to it. I returned the belt!!
As with all recovering addicts, there are going to be times when I'm gonna slip. My shopaholic ways isn't as serious as other addictions. However if you check out my post entitled 'What's your Addiction?', you will find how it can easily get out of hand. But like the true champ that I am, I'm gonna make it....
