Weekend NON Shopping

Farrah · Marc Jacobs

Day number 9 and still going strong. I did hit Target, but I bought essentials: face soap, cotton, salsa (it's the only place that I can find my fave brand), tuna, peanut butter, and ketchup.

9 days down - 81 to go. Keep it up ladies!!

Lilykind · Hermes

I wasn't too good, but I don't really think I was bad either. I posed my buys in the Weekend Shopping topic, and besides the tights, my BF and brother were the ones who purchases the stuff. I also bought a Starbucks Tall Caramel Light Frappucino but that was with GC.

Now I'm back...really.

Other than some groceries & a few magazines, nothing.

I caved last week & scored 3 vintage sweaters for $8, a massive $5 thrift store haul (BN Mary Jane flats, vintage scarf, vintage sunglasses, vintage silver clutch, 1 Lauren sweater, 1 long-sleeved polo & a vintage Levi's teal cord jacket), BR boots (sale) & clearance bags @ Nordstrom Rack that will go back.

Please help me be strong. I fell off the wagon, but am trying to discipline myself.

trixie - i am so proud of you. i would not have been able to withstand that temptation. i caved on friday, saturday, and sunday. (see weekend shopping thread) i did not behave.

I am still going strong. I almost caved at Anthropologie. I tried a bunch of things on and had come out of the dressing room to find a shirt that looked good with one of the skirts I picked out and I was walking around. Suddenly, I just felt disgusted with myself and took a quick look around and put all my stuff on the closest rack and went home (I know all the retail girls on here are going to hate me for that. I know it's annoying, but I had to get out of there).

So, I did not buy one thing. I actually had planned to buy a shirt at Anthro to go out last night, but I didn't even buy that. Yay for me!

OMG this is so hard!!! I went to the mall to try to find a dress to wear to the play I'm going to on Friday (I'm allowing myself this one purchase) and I couldn't find anything to wear. I made the mistake of trying on a cute gray skirt and a few other things but stopped myself before buying but now I can't stop thinking about them!!! They were all sale items and great deals - buffalo gray skirt $21, laundry shirt $30, kenneth cole shirt $15! It is so upsetting but I keep losing weight so I don't need to buy stuff that won't fit next month (or so I keep telling myself).

Glad to see I'm not the only one struggling. Keep up the good work girls and keep me on the bandwagon!

DC Shopper · Dooney & Bourke

I bought nothing, but partly because I literally have no money to buy it with. Actually, no, that's not true, I bought a pair of Kors wedges on ebay but I sold the ones I had that were too small for a big chunk of change, so it sort of doesn't count. It was a calculated purchase and no money is being lost in the transaction b/c it's sort of an exchange. But I am surfing my favorite shopping sites online like there's no tomorrow and it's really hard! All of a sudden I am seeing tons of stuff I want. I'm trying to stay strong. Keep it up, guys.
