I hope you are having an amazing weekend? I always feel like I spend the most amount of money in November, December, and January. I was thinking about it today, and it finally really occurred to me why this is case; the endless sales going on through to January. Every time I open my email, there is some sort of sale going on. Before, I know it, I am curiously browsing the website, and next thing you know, much to my hubby's chagrin (story for another day), I have a cart full of items!
I usually feel the initial rush of guilt after I buy them, but once I receive the items and try them on, that guilt leaves faster than I can say "Shopaholic!".
We all know that this is also the season for Thanksgiving, black Friday and all the Christmas and Holiday Sales, so the markdowns are a great bait for people like me who like to shop at a Bargain, even though we don't necessarily need all that we buy, but please, don't judge me!
Another reason why this is a high shopping season for me is that I usually travel to Nigeria for Christmas, so from shopping for myself, to buying gifts for friends and family back home, it all adds up! Most times I end up buying and packing so much clothes and shoes, and when I get to Nigeria, I only wear a handful! After spending hours and days stressing about excess baggage from all the things I have bought, and have to carry with me. Every year I tell myself, "Next year I am not packing this many clothes!", but when the following year comes, I am suddenly hit with the feeling of 'what if I have somewhere to go and I have nothing to wear?' Then I find myself "stuffing" my luggage up with those "emergency ensembles."
