I’ve read a lot about giving up shopping. It kind of makes me ill. Shiver a little bit – sure I have hobbies but I do love to shop. To buy new “pieces” and make/create new outfits and just…gah. I love a bargain, deal and a good ol’ fashioned steal. Cheesy, I know.
But it’s a challenge. The 31-day Don’t Go Over in October challenge – hosted by Career Girls.
I mean, I can do that.
I can…not….shop. for. 31. days.
Also know as the entire month of October. Thirty-one. Days. (breathing deeply…)
Of not shopping. Not even EBay, Jcrew sales, Old Navy, Ann Taylor Loft.
We’re trying to move. I’m taking the Praxis I (and possibly II) by November 1st. I have TWO applications due November 15th and December 1 respectively…. I’m…I don’t have time to shop.Right? Right.
So – I’m creating a budget for food, entertainment, and travel (since we have a couple trips partially planned that will be assisting our move North).
Expect weekly posts on my withdrawl and expect Monday wants to be frequent. Monday wants still to come today. Promise.
Are you in??? (Bias, you’re crazy if you are! CRAZY LIKE ME!!!!)
P.S. Upon telling Hubs this…I immediately asked if we go to the Outlets this weekend in NY en route to CT so that I might stop at the Vineyard Vines Outlet – maybe something for me….but something def for baby sis-in-law who is studying abroad in Spain and recently celebrated her 20th when we were in Puerto Rico. He said we could. Yesssssss. Hey, sue me, it’s not October 1 till next week!!!
