Naturally, Olivia expresses our reasons so eloquently, and here I am, the one with the English degree, just trying to figure out how to spell "eloquently." I keep thinking of myself as a non-material person. But I'm not. How could I be? (Cos we are living in a material world, and I am a material girl - in the words of Madonna). I just keep buying and buying and buying. And I think that giving up buying clothes for a few months out of my whole life will help me to recognize that.
Yes, shopping can be used therapeutically, and it's kind of part of being a woman, and your outfit can boost your self-esteem, blah, blah, blah (in the words of Kei$ha).
But so can saving money - and whatever else comes out of this. I was freaking out slightly not even 24 hours into this, and told Liv that maybe I'll go on one last shopping spree to get it out of my system. But there I go again. Instead, I'll take this in steps. My goal is to make it through Lent, as the non-Material Girl. Liv wanted me to post a picture of my shopping spree, and since I'm not doing that, I'm instead including the last outfit I bought. Oh boy.
It didn't upload!

Phew. Thanks for catching that, Liv. That was a close one.
