I LoVE fashion. A LOT, would be an understatement its more like a need, must have, give it to me so I can live kind of obsession. While I would still live and be happy without fashion it definitely makes getting dolled up so much more fun. I like name brands but of course vintage has also become my newest favorite thing in the past couple of years. I may not be buying Chanel, Vera Wang, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton or other high end pieces off the runways of Paris or New York but I do make sure to buy a variety that will not be lost in time or unwearable as I continue to grow up. Rather they might be statement pieces that make me feel bold, a punch up, a fun cut to the piece or the bright colors of another with a nice collection of basics. It just makes me happy. After some thinking about my weakness for clothing/fashion and my desire to continue to thin out my closet of the un-used I will be taking a vacation from purchasing items for myself and gifts (which tend to be most of my spending in thinking of Christmas and birthdays, Tegan's fault for being such a cute little niece). Even though most of my buys are bargains sometimes one just needs a break from something they like so much. Thanks to Amy who did this awhile back and blogged about her 1 month of no personal shopping, just the basic needs. Today is Day 1. I have deleted all email's that pertain to shopping. I would like to make it atleast a month, September 20th but will extend to our Cruise in October. Shopping is an extra in life, where my extra money is going and I can do without a couple weeks or months of it. This will also help me reach some goals in other areas which is a plus.Will power, challenge accepted.
Can you blame me?! Pieces from my wardrobe that will be reused over and over again as I fight the battle of shopping randomly. I love so many of my pieces that I know I have the ability to mix and match in new and different ways.
