I have been really, really bad this month! I've purchased so many new, EXPENSIVE clothes for this season, and really need to stop. I've never been this way before. I purchased 2 dresses (Milly and Karl Lagerfeld), 2 Kate Spade tops, 3 Banana Republic shirts, and 2 pairs of shoes (Jimmy Choo and Marc Jacobs). I'm embarassed to think about how much I've spent - I think the total amounts to $1300 - more than enough to buy a nice bag :shame: . I don't really need them, so I feel bad. I've justified it by the fact that I am getting a merit raise on Friday, and have been working really hard lately.

Please don't let me buy anything else (or shake a finger at me)....

Has anyone else been bitten by new clothes fever???
 
i've been controlling myself but i was just about to comment in ur shoe thread that you seem to have gone on a shopping spree lately :weird:..........u've gotten everything i've had my eye one, lucky u :sad2:

but once u start buying clothes it's really hard to stop.....i was on a roll a few months back, buying something new like 2-3 times a week.......had to yell at myself

I'm still stuck in a winter rut...it's still so cold in the NE. It doesn't feel Spring enough to buy yet....not yet...

I know how you feel. It's too cold in NJ to think of spring. I want to wear cute light stuff, but still too cold. :Push:
 
I completely know what you mean. I've been buying spring clothes too even though as I type there's still snow on the ground here! I just keep thinking that I can will spring into being with another cute skirt or tee, and it never happens :lol:
 
Well, I've decided to take back the Marc Jacobs shoes, and one of the Banana shirts. I'm going to make the conscious effort to stop :P . We've had below average temps here in DC, so I'm sure these purchases will be sitting in my closet unloved for a while :sad: . I think I got inspired when we hit the 70s and 80s about a week and a half ago....bad, bad weather for tricking us.
