It's been really helpful. I am vacationing this month but I plan to do a 6 month shopping fast (June-Nov) to work on shopping my closet and getting closer to a capsule wardrobe. I am allowing purchases of beauty supplies I run out of but other than that, no extra shopping outside of groceries.

I find that the more I buy the more I want and the more dissatisfied I am with my own closet (when in reality at one point I really wanted each of the pieces that is in there). I have been a bit of a shopaholic since I got my first job in high school but over the past 9 months I've been really trying to be less materialistic (for my wallet and the planet). It's a difficult balance that I'm not sure I'll ever perfect (like you said there is nothing wrong with being a girly girl who likes clothes and shoes and makeup) but I think it is important to be mindful of. All of this long tangent is basically to say I think it's great you're doing a shopping fast-I need to do the same thing!Fairy Princess Jordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463494133725810723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140057690761884909.post-619979028254636482017-05-11T11:29:17.960-04:002017-05-11T11:29:17.960-04:00shopping fasts are a must for my wallet and my san...shopping fasts are a must for my wallet and my sanity!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06137647229528696509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140057690761884909.post-65943199227218088722017-05-11T09:07:25.705-04:002017-05-11T09:07:25.705-04:00I love this idea!
