It all began when someone told me to stop doing so much for other people and spending all my money on everyone else. They said I need to be able to treat myself to what I want and that's okay. And that it when the addiction began.
It is hard to just walk into a clothing store and not purchase something you see that you really want and really like. And this is me on a daily basis. I can't help but purchase something I see and I like. I have an infinite number of shoes, jackets, dresses, tops, jeans, and every other article of clothing you can think of. I have clothes everywhere. In the closet, drawers, bed, bins, other people's closet, and I'm pretty sure my boyfriend's house as well.
I was never the girl who cared about what she wore or how she looked. But I guess as you get older that changes. You start to care about what other people think and how you looks and who's looking at you. I no longer care what other people think but I do like to look good, I mean, come on who doesn't! I wish I could say that it is easy to just stop shopping and buying what I like, but it is not at all. Sometimes I get scared I am going to spend my whole entire paycheck in one store.
But here are some confessions I must make as a shopaholic:
1. It is hard to control how much I spend and what I spend it on.
2. I constantly online shop and look for the best sales.
3. Shoes are just an addiction I will never get rid of and the collection will just keep on growing.
4. I will never leave the house for a night out wearing anything less than a dress and heels.
5. I can't not go into a store and not buy something.
6. My closet is always so full and I still can never find anything to wear, so what do I do? Go shopping of course.
7. Some store owners know me so well that they know my style and pick out my outfits when I walk into the store.
8. I max out my credit card once it is paid off. Just a word of advice, don't do it you'll regret it.
9. My clothes will never define me because I am always switching up styles.
10. I love to bargain shop but if I want something and its a bit pricey I will buy it anyway.
11. I will never walk out of a store with less than 2 bags.
I don't think I will ever be able to stop shopping, but when I do have to start saving money I will have to limit myself somehow.
