haha - this thread is turning into clothes p*rn - again!
was secret shopaholics originally about listing your recent buys?
is it guilty pleasure or just straight pleasure.
i would say other people's shopping begets shopping too. when i check out secret shopoholics, it kind of enables me! i can't buy half the high end stuff that regular posters on there buy, but still . . .
i must admit, january is a hard month. nicht money and yet so many sales. i should be saving for baby stuff, but instead i bought a vivienne westwood coat, as it was a quarter of its original price.
in fact, i have used being pregnant as an excuse to buy a whole bunch of new things - jeans, underwear, tops and dresses. of course, you need it to an extent but really, i have gone a bit mad (by my own standards, not anyone (ahem) in this thread!
it was nice though, to put all the stuff i can't wear right now away and just arrange a long rail and drawers with all the stuff i can wear. it actually rejuvenated my daily style to be able to see stuff, make new combinations etc and i started keeping my style diary thing on flickr again (ok -its also to document my pregnancy but when I photograph yourself nearly every day, i make more of an effort.)
although i respect that moving up in terms of quality and style, i don't know if that always has to mean only buying high-end. i still think that the chicest style is a mix between high-end, well-spotted high st and carefully sourced quality vintage. but that's just what rings my bell - i think that's where the real joie de vivre of fashion is.
but i want to be good friends with everything in my wardrobe!
