Spend Spend Spend

A recent post on the kingdom of style blog raises the age old issue of retail therapy, I shop therefore I am. I remember an experiment in Vogue a couple of years ago where the editor tried not to spend on anything other than necessities for a month she did not find it easy. but that's the industry she works in. 18 months ago I was financially struggling and I had to make some serious lifestyle changes that removed all unnecessary expenditure, at first it was agony but it has got easier I have removed triggers including wheels, no car, no credit cards, stay away from Ebay, work hard make sure you have no time to shop. Go to a shopping center with the most tight fisted miserable b***er you can find. But when life gets bad nothing can compare to a 5 hour shopping spree to assuage the misery's of life, call me shallow but.. On Friday I finally received next years timetable, 3 months late and with 1 day to absorb and sort out problems. The timetable was the professional equivalent of being sent to Siberia and came without warning or justification. At that point with more time I would have spent a months salary, but luckily I didn't 2 hours later the problem was resolved, danger was over but who can resist the sales? not me so off I toddled with Leyla to keep me in check, and what larks we had
1. Knitted cotton shift dress slate blue & dark moss scoop neck T shirt, Gap
2. Wool & cashmere hoodie, Jigsaw
3. Black wool scoop neck jumper, French Connection
4. Slate grey linen cardigan, Whistles
