so...today i realized that i'm a shopaholic. i like to buy clothes ...lots of it..and even if i don't need it. but it's not like i over indulge with expensive things, i like to buy things in staple. i think it all started on day..after going to school..having a bad week..i was thinking.."i should treat myself." and that's when i turned to shopping. I love the thought of having something new to wear. MAYBE it's because when i was small, i'd always have to wear hand-me-downs....even from my brothers. i can always picture myself in a new outfit..or how certain pieces would just perfect my look.
and how did i come to this realization? it wasn't after cleaning out my closet...filling around 6 garbage bags of clothes and then after buying new clothes the next day..did i realize this. but..it's not that extreme..yet. it's not like i owe a million dollars to unpaid credit cards..i spend what i earn. from year 1 to year 2, my spending has shifted from food...to coffee...to food. and you know you're a shopaholic when you'd gladly starve yourself just so that you can buy more clothes.
that being said..i think it's a new year..and new adjustments are in order.
my goal is to not buy clothing on a weekly basis..i'll give myself a limit. 3 new pieces of clothing every month. this will make me spend on what i NEED and not what i WANT.
coffee...can't stop that. sorry..that is a need.
