I really need to take a shopping moratorium. Not because I don't have the money to shop. I do. I paid my bills, I have a good chunk in savings, I'm good, but I need to take a break.
It's just a little to easy to get fixated on things. Not that I haven't already started thinking about I want to buy next.
I need to step away. Although I do need to buy some hangers in the near future.
There's been a lot of shopping in my life recently. Shoes, boots, skirts, dresses, shirts, leggings, and probably other things I didn't list.
And I realized, as I thought through this post that I've used things to make life a little better. Living at home with my parents, while working at a part-time (although pretty awesome for being part-time) job, has not made me feel like I have much going on.
So I buy pretty things with a heavy emphasis on shoes and makeup. Because who doesn't like pretty things?!
Instead of shopping, I think I would be better served putting some energy into making things happen. I need to make a plan and follow through.
Although the good news is that after these past two years, whatever I do, I'll look good doing it.
I went through a time like that, I still do every now and then. I know it's unwise to spend too much money even though I know I can technically afford it, but it's still hard to resist shoes and sweaters! D:
ReplyDeleteI am with you on this!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on this about makeup! Seriously I could spend hours and hours at ULTA because I have to decide what I really want to buy and not buy.
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing when it comes to shopping. I go for months without buying a thing, and then i just go on a shopping rampage and buy buy buy!!!
