When I told you about my no-buy, a lot of you suggested to inform you from time to time about this shop-a-holic in rehab. So here are we are a month and a half later and to be honest: it was not that bad at all. The first two weeks I caught myself browsing to online shops like asos and topshop on autopilot, but with ease I clicked every opened tab away. What also helped was banning the shopping streets the first weeks but now I'm already able to walk around in stores with friends without feeling bad at all.
I am not going to pretend that fashion isn't my interest any longer but the last couple of weeks I just have become very picky when it comes to clothing. From now on, I only want to buy clothes and accessories that I really want and that will look amazing on me. I first want to think before I actually buy something to prevent regretting purchases. Besides that I want good quality clothes. Yup, very fastidious.
Of course I still read magazines and visit fashion blogs and as expected that means I have to resist a looooot of temptation. That is why I started to create a wish list. I write down everything that I "like" with the thought that I can buy it all when my no-buy is over. But the longer I look at that list, the lesser is on it. The urge for new items is fading away and that is a very good thing. I did regain control of my shopping habits and that was the purpose of this no-buy.
I am now in the middle of this no-buy thing and I'm so glad I started it. I only have this voucher from Zara that I want to use to line through something of my "still missing in tha closet"-list: a white dress. I really like how this white Zara dress looks on me, but it's a little bit tricky because it's see through. Anyway what do you think of the dress I'm wearing in the picture above? Do you think I can buy this dress for celebrating how far I've already come?
Enjoy your weekend sweeties!

You are being very succesfull in your no-buy experience.
ReplyDeleteI also tried it very often, and I think that the best way to succeed is (as you said) only being focused in "good quality" and very "good things".
Good luck.
See you!
Het is inderdaad een beetje doorzichtig, maar met het juiste ondergoed maakt dat niet uit. Echt een mooie jurkje, en als je een cadeaukaart hebt gekregen mag je het wel kopen vind ik :)
ReplyDeleteAf en toe besluit ik ook om eventjes niets te kopen en dan kan ik inderdaad beter kiezen wat ik echt wil, maar zo 3 maanden helemaal niks kopen dat heb ik nog niet geprobeerd.

Haha, ik wil je shop-stop natuurlijk niet verpesten, maar bij H&M hadden ze goede huidskleurige onderjurkjes. Ik heb er eentje omdat ik best veel witte jurkjes heb :-) Tis maar een tip! En het kleedje vind ik trouwens HEEL mooi bij je staan :) x
ReplyDeleteHet kleedje staat je suuuuuupergoed: kopen!
ReplyDeletelovely dress!
ReplyDeleteBUY IT. It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI encourage shopping, LOL!
