I am an emotional shopper, I shop to cheer myself up, I shop to celebrate, when I’m bored etc… I definite get a buzz from it.
But I have so many clothes! I only wear a very small fraction of them. My summer clothes are packed away in the attic as I cannot fit them in my wardrobe alongside my winter ones! I spend a lot of time trying stuff on, packaging up returns, going to the post office…not to mention the money spent!
So I’m trying not to buy anything new. Wearing what I have. Which is a lot!
Another realisation is that I cannot bear anything uncomfortable. I hate itchy labels, itchy lace, too tight things.
I’ve not managed to wean myself off Instagram yet but I have been trying to use it more for inspiration rather than an excuse to shop.
So I’ve managed a month without buying anything. In fact I’ve returned a few things that I bought in December!
Anyone else? Any good non selling websites/blogs? I like livelovesara as she talks about body shape and capsule wardrobes. Midlife chic is not my style but she’s interesting on clothes details and I’ve picked up some good tips from her.
Hopefully I’m not alone 💕
