Recovery : A Former Shopaholics Thread

funny-
i just did an exercise where i pulled out and put together all the bottoms that i have which are a similar shape...
ie- leggings, a line skirts, mini skirts, wide, cropped pant, track pants...

i can tell you that pulling them all out and looking at them really gave me some perspective...

i always seem to want more boots than i have though...
it used to be that i had just about 5 prs of boots but they went with everything in my closet and i loved them so much...i wore the same ones over and over and never even thought about any other boots...

but now, i always feel like i don't have exactly what i am looking for...
or i do, but i cannot wear it because of the weather...
*too cold, wet, snowy or what not...

i just don't know if there is such a thing as the perfect shoe anymore...
i would really like to have something that i wear nonstop like the ones i wore to death and eventually had to let go of...
but now, it seems like no matter how many pairs of boots or shoes i have, there is always something else...
it has become so annoying that i have avoided buying shoes ...

at least when i do finally get something, i wind up loving it to death...
but it's frustrating to feel like there are certain silhouettes i cannot wear because i lack the correct footwear...
:angry:..

so i don't even look at footwear for awhile...
but then when i finally give in and have a look, the things i like are already sold out in my size...
:doh:...
WTF?!?!

the coat thing is kinda similar as well for me...
no matter how many coats i have, i always feel like something is missing...

hahaa...
as part of the previous exercise, i have also discovered that i own three capes-
including the one i just purchased recently from YY...
oops- wait, i just remembered another one from TAO...
oh no!- and another plastic rain one...
:lol:...
yep- it's officially ridiculous~!

MMM bracelet
af vandevorst boots
af vandevorst belt
marni earrings
and an ombre scarf in modal and cashmere...

i'm trying to find the strength to send most of this stuff back...

except the bracelet...
it's too good and that's final...

the belt, scarf and earrings are easier...
it's the boots that are the problem...
*sigh*...

This is the story of my life!

My wardrobe is bursting at the seams, I have taken over my sisters, my mums and various suitcases for seasonal items to rotate into but it my heart aches when there's something I really love. Even if it's something usually a very similar shape to what I have already...

I did not buy a dozen things from Zara...

:lol:
 
I had this problem a while ago.... now I just let items that I want but don't fit into my current life sit in the cart for a REALLY long time (think months, 6+) and go back to 'visit' items every week, and if they sold out by then I try to think of it as 'they went to a better home where they'll actually be worn'....not that it works every time but it does work a lot.
