Last night I discovered two sweaters - one light grey and the other light pink - in my closet. I vaguely remember buying them at the The Gap last June and actually bragging about the bargain price.
Today, I gave away the two sweaters I have never worn to a colleague. I won't miss them - I did not even know I owned them. I never wear any hue of pink - ever. They were too big for me. I must have been in that "mindless buying state of mind."
I hesitated only once about sending a message to a colleague to inquire if she wanted them. I quickly stuck to my resolve to rid myself of them and she was grateful for the new sweaters.
I am Jonzin' to shop, no doubt about it. I have been to Target a few times for dog food and cereal - great prices, by the way. I look at the clothes and continue on my way. My friend and a dynamite fashionista had on new boots last week and I was in awe. I actually heard the Angels singing when my eyes made contact with them! It was heaven on earth. I hope she wears them a lot this year! She felt bad telling me she just bought them, along with a new Loubutin purse.
No one should feel bad about shopping. I am just going to save money this year and wear my clothes more often- Minus two sweaters I did not know I owned.
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.
