This past week was test of the WILL!
Each outfit I had to "pull together" for work tested my desire to shop. Literally, I was uttering "oh, this old thing" when several colleagues said they liked/loved my LOOK. The sad thing about it is that all year, every outfit will be an "OLD THING"!
Thus, the term VINTAGE.
Vintage MK. Vintage Kate Spade. Vintage GAP. Vintage BR. Vintage Kenneth Cole. Vintage Anne Taylor...
Can I say VINTAGE WALMART ?
OR VINTAGE TARGET?
I do have a pair of GAP jeans that I have had since the 90s that remarkably still fit! Since I dry clean almost all my clothes, they held onto the dark color. I do love them! Are they real vintage?
Do you have a vintage piece or outfit that you just love? Share! Let me know wearing old clothes is in!!!!!!

OCCUPY MICHAEL KORS! OMK
With the OWS taking hold of every issue out there and losing focus, I want to throw into the ring MK - for me. Since I am not shopping, a chapter of OWS that has money needs show up and spend! OCCUPY does not have to be negative!
C'mon! I can't shop for another 7 months, and it hurts. I am aware this hurt, this pang of loss, this desire I shut down like I did to every -well not every - BAD BOY - is self inflicted, it is still real. Actually, I am withdrawing from fueling the economy. I do buy from farms all year since I buy organic meats. I do try to support local stores with our house hold needs.
When President Bush announced in 2001 to get out there and shop, Ted cringed. The fact he never told us to stop shopping was my excuse to keep truckin'.
Michael Kors needs to be occupied by people who are willing shop. OCCUPY does not need to be a negative connotation - I personally would love to OCCUPY MK.
I support the initial concept of the OWS. I am excited to see the people taking to the streets to say enough is enough.
To see live feed from people shopping at Mk would have me drooling - yelling hockey phrases, "AND SHE SCORED!!!!"
When I do go shopping for dog food or wine - my choice of shopping these days - I see malls packed. So occupy MK and keep him going so on June 26, 2012, when I can shop, his stores will still be there!
PS- I have not shopped for me for eight weeks. I know, that is not much. In dog years, however, that is 56 weeks....

Bucks are Adding Up!
Right now I have 3,000 dollars more than I did at this time last year! For me, that is really good. I don't get a big check at the end of year like most teachers; I save all year. The truth is I did not save all year; I bought what I wanted when I wanted to shop. I just knew I needed X amount of dollars to be in the bank by June 25th. Right now, I am only a three thousand dollars away from my summer funds!
I am not a Kohls-kinda-gal: nothing against it, but the sizing did not work with my body and frankly, I want a bit of quality so the item lasts.
Are you cutting back on your shopping? What are you cutting out? What is motivating you to save and spend less?
And PLEASE ! iF YOU SHOPPED, SHARE WHAT YOU BOUGHT! I SO WANT TO BUY SOMETHING FOR ME!
