There are many threads about how we've got problems with bag addiction, spending problems, debt problems. We make vows to ourselves to limit our bag purchases or not buy any at all for a year or six months or until we do '________' (insert your requirement here).
We make resolutions, we make friends with like-minded women, but still... We buy. Yes, the main solution would be to quit tPF, but we can't, because there's no place else like home, and that's here (for the bag-crazy).
I propose a different solution - or an aid to help. Post what we didn't buy, and feel proud of ourselves for each purchase we didn't make. A sort of 'one day at a time' outlook, and I'll go first (and I'm really shocked at myself at how many times I've almost bought a bag in the last several weeks!
Today, I did not buy a Sunshine Yellow Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini.
Last night, I did not buy a Fire Engine Red Rebecca Minkoff Beloved Mini.
Day before yesterday, I did not buy a Bottega Veneta Cervo Hobo in Elephant.
Last week, I did not buy two different colors of the Lucky Brand Del Rey Mini Tote (and it was on a crazy sale!).
The week before that I did not buy the Lucky Brand Montgomery Hobo in Indigo Blue, nor the Frye Brook Small Satchel (curse you, N0rdstrom Rack).
And the first part of the month, I did not buy two bags at N0rdstrom (it sucks living next to th Mall of America) whose brand names I don't remember but they were SO PRETTY!
So, you can see, just this month alone, I would have 9 new bags. But I'm :gritting teeth: REFORMED.
Your turn...
