I have so many dresses, skirts, tops and pants that I could literally go for months without wearing the same thing twice. If I switched up the shoes, accessories and purses I could go for years. My mother has repeatedly told me that I have more clothes than she's had in her lifetime. It's her 57th birthday today, so that's a lot of clothes.
Every month I have a budget and every month I tell myself: NO MORE SHOPPING. My budget for January was so detailed that I mapped out all my weekend plans and allocated my funds accordingly. I thought this would give me a greater chance of staying out of the mall.
Everything was going great until today....when I found myself at the Gap on my lunch hour. Sure, I was there to make a return, but did you know their Spring line is out? Did you know it's full of bright colours and amazing prints?? I did because I was on their website earlier in the week (mistake number one.
I decided to "just have a look around" before I made my return (mistake number two.) That's when I stumbled upon this:
I saw it online and thought it was adorable, but I knew I'd have to see it in person to know if it was love. Turns out I fall in love easily and "just had" to try it on (mistake number three.) As soon as it was on I knew I had to have it - it was as adorable as I imagined. And when I find an item I love, there's no getting between me and it. You wouldn't come between a drug addict and their drugs, right? Well, maybe if it was an intervention, but those don't happen everyday, right?? RIGHT??Ok, I'm starting to sound crazy. It's been three hours since I was last in a mall and I'm wondering how long I can go until my next fix. I practice safe shopping (i.e. I use my credit card only when I can pay it off within the month) so am I really doing harm? Just tell me I'm not. Enable me. Please.....I beg of you.
