Help Me

ChristinS

I can't stop shopping. It's the weather change. Jeans? Check. Sweaters? Check. Cardigans? Check. New tees, tanks, and other stuff for layering? Check. Now all I can think about is jackets, scarves, coats. I need to be stopped. Fall is always the worst for me. I'm seriously consideirng trekking an hour to the outlet mall.

I am no help. I am a splurge shopper. it hasn't happened lately, but I am not the type to go out and get a few needed items several times a year. When I decide to shop, I shop and spend several hundred dollars each time several times over the period of a month. I justify it by reminding myself I buy everything on sale or at Marshall's/TJ Maxx

ChristinS

I mean, I shop cheap. I spend plenty of time in Old Navy, TJ Maxx and Target. But I feel like I should be satisfied by now. Instead I just want more. I was cleaning out the closets in the basement Monday, gathering stuff for Goodwill, and I hated everything. I just can't get excited for last year's clothes.

WORD. Target has $15 sweaters this week...eep. I am of no help.

the only way I can help is to offer to drive you.  I'm horrible when it comes to clothes and makeup, I really don't need more of either one, but I just can't help myself.

Sorry, I am no help either. I always buy new stuff this time of year. A sweater just came in the mail yesterday, expecting a pair of boots today, and plan on hitting Old Navy on my lunch

I'm no help either.  I don't have an issue with clothes, but all I want to do is buy stuff for my house.  I think I have a problem.

CMC - the Old Navy sweater sale just put me over the edge. I went nuts. I felt bad and returned a turtleneck dress and a bunch of cheap t-shirts, but while I was returning my $30 worth of stuff I accidentally hit the clearance section and spent another $50. Responsibility fail.

How about you pick me up on the way and I'll, err, advise you. Yeah. Advise ...

Mashed, I got this tank yesterday to wear with my new cardigan and I'm in love. It runs really large, so I had to get a size down from normal, but I love the fabric and the print. I think I'm going to go back and get it in navy. [url]http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=7524&vid=1&pid=697987&scid=697987022[/url]

Great, I'm in trouble. I've been very 'meh' on ON lately, was hoping to score with the sweater sale.

ooh, I do like that Christin, thanks

I like to buy my clothes from people's little shops on ebay. I'm an enabler.

I am afflicted with this same disease!  I spent my usual shopping money on airfare, so I shouldn't be buying stuff.  But I can't help myself.  I went to Target yesterday to pick up a drink I can't seem to find anywhere else and left $120 later.  It's like they saw me post about my coat addiction and not wanting to spend a bunch on them because they had a variety of coats for about $30-$40.  At least I got a new pillow too.

KristenBtobe

I have the opposite problem. I can't find diddly I want to buy in maternity clothes. The choices are pathetic.

ChristinS

I spent my usual shopping money on airfare WELL WORTH IT!

ChristinS

Oh...and I want this coat real bad. [url]http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5448&vid=1&pid=675618&scid=675618022[/url] It's PURPLE! My favorite!

noisy_penguin

Damn you Cali, now I'm looking at the coats at Target.

noisy_penguin

I was looking at those. I like that they're cheap and in lots of colors.

CaliopeSpidrman

You're all busy shopping right now, aren't you?

noisy_penguin

...no....::whistles::

CaliopeSpidrman

Oh my.  I call dibs on this dress:[img]http://assets1.modcloth.com/productshots/0022/7757/7693-1.jpg?71b355261c8dc5a531548a00edba637985d0e17a[/img]

BobLoblaw

That's the maxi version on HT's dress!

CaliopeSpidrman

It's like someone saw Lyse's blankets and thought, "You know, that would make a lovely dress..."

HappyTummy613

How did you find my wedding dress online, Cali?

ChristinS

You're gonna look just beautiful Fern.

I am pretty sure you can find that print on many of those velvety blankets they sell on the side of the road.
