I realize it's almost the middle of April, but so far this month I haven't bought any clothes or accessories (except some running shorts and socks the other day,
but those don't count) for myself.
but those don't count) for myself.
I know this might not seem like a big deal to some, but occasionally, I'll go weeks (months?) without buying anything, and then splurge.
Once.
Twice.
Sometimes three times.
In a matter of days.
It's odd - I'll be doing just fine, and then all of a sudden I get the idea that "I NEED this!" into my head, and the shopping bug bites. And then, I can't get it out of my head. I'll hold on to the idea that I must buy SOMETHING, and will spend my money on something (anything!) I don't particularly love.
It's truly a waste of time and money.
And brain cells.

So, I realize I only have 16 more days to go, and the first 14 passed by pretty easily (since I didn't really know I was on a "shopping fast"), but sometimes saying things aloud (or typing them) makes them more real. And sometimes more difficult.
So, here's to not purchasing clothing or accessories for myself for the rest of the month of April!

I've got way too many clothes as it is...but really...
UPDATE: I just gave a friend of mine 4 dresses. Here's to also getting rid of things I don't wear!
