I really have to be in the mood to go shopping, it’s really not one of my favorite things to do.
Maybe it’s because I worked in retail and everything starts to look the same after awhile. Maybe it’s because I don’t having lots of stuff; I like having basics. I have jeans. I have a suit. Black and white tee shirts.
The little black dress. You know, key items. And sometimes I buy something that is trendy just because I feel like I should but I don’t do that too often. I just don’t like a lot of things – I don’t like having things that I do not need or use so most of the time I go shopping when I need something, like bathing suits (NOT fun, at all) dresses for special occasions and probably winter coats.
But when I do love something, I have a horrible habit of buying it multiple times; mainly because I want to always have it. But I have a rule, if I don’t wear something in 1 year or haven’t worn it in 1 year, I give it away. I figure you don’t need something if you haven’t physically touched it in 1 year. And my other shopping rule – never buy more than you can carry. If you can’t carry it, you don’t need it.
If there are any ladies out there, I’m curious at to how crazy you think I am…
