Tuesday Update: Goal-Based Shopping.
January 29, 2013
I don’t want to buy any more clothes until I lose weight. I know, I know, everyone says this. But this is the first time I’ve ever said it. See, I’m a firm believer in dressing for your current body. I always want to look good so I make sure I have clothing that fits, even…

The Proliferation of Perfection.
January 30, 2013
I love Pinterest. It’s a fun way to gather thoughts, recipes, and cool home decorating ideas for how to make your house look like an Ikea catalog for even less than Ikea prices. However, the more I look at it, the more I want to stick a fork into the word “perfect“. The perfect winter…

Tuesday Update: A New Habit.
February 5, 2013
One of my goals was to find some healthier habits to replace shopping. Honestly, this was one of the lowest priorities for me and I didn’t think I’d actually tackle it this soon. But my heart and mind were ready to be inspired by the success story of a stranger. It was the right time,…

Shifting My Mindset.
February 8, 2013
My blogging was spotty over the past few months because I’ve been working on things other than not shopping, though it’s all intertwined. I feel like I’ve finally gotten somewhere so I’d like to share. The truth is that since my youngest was born three years ago, I was bored, unhappy, and trapped. A reluctant…

Tuesday Update: Fitness Broke Unshopping.
February 12, 2013
So much for my new habit! Getting healthy and fit is taking a toll on my wallet. It shouldn’t, except that I am a gadget geek, as is my husband. Last month, I bought a nifty little device that tracks my daily steps and calories burned. This month, I had an episode of sanctioned shopping…

Tuesday Update: Weights and Jackets.
March 12, 2013
Yes, I shopped. I couldn’t help it. I am SO HAPPY to be able to button cardigans, blazers, and jackets again! My existing tops are starting to look loose and floppy on me. (Um, pants, will you soon follow? Please?) Now that it’s warming up, I’m back to layering with casual blazer-style jackets instead of…

Wanted: New Shopping Criteria.
April 29, 2013
I’m ashamed to say that I found out about last week’s factory collapse in Bangladesh while reading one of my favorite fashion forums. It wasn’t on my radar until I was looking at what to buy next, and what everyone else is buying… and then I didn’t want to buy anything. I froze. I wondered if…

Tuesday Update: Still spending, not saving.
May 14, 2013
In case you need a refresher, I listed my goals here. I’ve attempted to update on Tuesdays, but it doesn’t always happen. Sometimes I’m lazy. Sometimes I forget. Sometimes I’m just ashamed at how little progress I’ve made. This is one of those times, except that I’m posting about it. Last year when I started…

Why I’ve Been Shopping.
October 25, 2013
I always wonder if anyone reading this blog doesn’t personally “get” the desire to shop. I wish I knew what that feels like! I’ve been interested in clothes since at least middle school, when I started keeping a journal of my outfits to make sure I didn’t repeat them. There are the standard shopping reasons…
