She's on a 6 month shopping ban. You've always had an awesome closet. What I liked about you, was how you found things on sale or discounted. Things you grow tired of you can sell on eBay or send to a consignment shop. I've tailored down my wardrobe considerable since blogging. Good luck! I love your outfit. That jacket is awesome and so are the boots & jeans.<br />http://www.averysweetblog.com/A Very Sweet Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952918199561874968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551650242422472428.post-79652621669187885012017-01-04T10:55:06.869-05:002017-01-04T10:55:06.869-05:00Totally agree with you -- I invest way too much ti...Totally agree with you -- I invest way too much time related to shopping that can be better spent elsewhere.

While I don't think I would use the energy I do spend on shopping on anything much more productive (because I would probably just move it towards time watching Netflix), I've never really considered how much time I might be giving to shopping that I could use for other things. You've definitely made me think with this post. And on a fashion-related note, I love this outfit! If that gorgeous coat is one of the things that has been hiding in your closet, you definitely have some gems that are deserving of more wear.<br />xox,<br />CeeCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822990898186192908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551650242422472428.post-60418887723033404752017-01-03T10:46:54.377-05:002017-01-03T10:46:54.377-05:00I totally hear you and that is something I am work...I totally hear you and that is something I am working on this year as well.

Christmas wiped my bank account out, so I currently don't have the funds... but that doesn't mean I am not looking and planning for my next paycheck! Part of my problem is that I don't have some things that I could really use (like a few more dresses and skirts for work), but instead I buy 3 pairs of booties (when I just needed 1), and new scarves (because I only have 75), or cute workout clothes (because I only have a drawer full). Good luck on your shopping ban!
