Every season I find myself browsing my favorite store websites for the latest trends, flipping through magazines, watching endless YouTube hauls and every season, by the end of the season, my wallet hurts. I would love to buy everything I see (or have one of those never ending closets like Cher in Clueless where outfits just put themselves together on a screen.) *sigh* That would be the life. Sadly however, the reality of life is- it’s expensive! Sometimes sacrifices need to be made, that "too cute" romper from Free People (that, let’s be honest, I’ll probably wear once) OR my car payments…unfortunately the car wins.
However! I have found a way to curb my sick shopping addiction and save up for the things I really want, praise the shopping Gods! Every month I add to my "lust list", if I see an item that catches my eye or makes me think “I must have that”, onto the list it goes.
This way, I have a chance to think about it before I buy it.
If after a few days it’s still on my list, then I know it’s worth saving for!
