Today, a colleague was showing us her new purse and I immediately blurted out, "I WANT ONE!" Some habits are just hard to break.
Later, I was speaking to another colleague and I complimented her on her dress. She then said I was one of the best dressed teachers in the building. I then told her what I was doing.
She laughed. And laughed. And laughed! Then when I tried to explain to her the logic behind this decision, I was abruptly interrupted with HER LAUGHING. We ended the conversation with her simply shaking her head - laughing.
THE WANTING TO SHOP is not gone - I mean FNO - FASHION NIGHT OUT is Sept 8. I am inundated with fashion emails, fashion ads, fashion! My friend mentioned Woodbury Commons, two other colleagues were talking to me about Tangers Outlet, and when I got home, I had a $5 Rewards from DSW. Sure, I want to shop. Now while I choose not to, I need to examine why I feel I NEED A NEW ANYTHING, especially since I get such a kick out of picking up my dry cleaning and am THRILLED AT WHAT IS IN MY BUNDLE! Dah - it is all mine that I simple forgot about for a week. Umm... another issue... I dry clean all the clothes I wear to work which is 90% of my wardrobe.
I don't know where this will take me on all levels, but I am sure interested to discover it!
With the new school year, I thought I would try something new personally - a year of not buying more clothes, shoes, purses - more anything. My curiosity is spurred really by how much money I can save by not purchasing more... of anything for just me! This journey will begin with my last shopping spree before the first day of school.
