Do you have any 'rules'? I'd love to know what they are and do they work for you?
Wish me luck.

despite my ever increasing wardrobe, I'm actually pretty good with money, so I don't worry too much...it's more because for a while I didn't spend anything though due to ocd issues...so ya know...lost time and all! I really ought to work out a proper budget!
ReplyDeleteI would never survive.
ReplyDeleteI might actually take these "rules" into consideration, though. They are brilliant.
We'll see how that goes for me, though ...
Good luck!!!

ReplyDeleteGood for you. This is a great set of rules for keeping yourself on the shopping rails.

Good luck. I'm definitely using these rules. I have a 'List'. I won't buy anything when I'm out and about if it's not on the list.
ReplyDeleteI've started to look at charity shops for a retail fix, I sometimes can't believe what people throw away. Anyway one rule I try to stick to is - will the item go with 9 things in your wardrobe. At least then, you're not buying something that requires you to buy other itmes to go with it. xx
ReplyDeleteFor me at the moment it is quite simply, don't go shopping! I was doing ok till yesterday when I succumbed to temptation in the vintage shops in Manchester. Luckily I'm not too bad with online shopping.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I love your 24 hr rule!! I need to implement that one asap!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend Dear! xo
Great idea I wonder if I could do it. Maybe I should try it next month!!! x
ReplyDeleteThe 24 hour rule definitely works...though can be hard if you think there's only one left in your size!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to comment x
