Day 1.
At 9am I email my nearest and dearest girlfriends asking for their advise on my blog (the email is available to read also). I ask if 100 days is enough? Do they think this will be a struggle for me? And in not so many words am I a freak on my own with this problem that no one else wants to hear about or worse am I trying to be the Aussie ‘Confessions of a Shop-a-holic’ (minus all the designer paraphernalia) and totally unoriginal?
It’s 3.59pm. No replies from girlfriends. This combined with my husband querying my need to stipulate that I am not allowed to buy vests on my “Can’t Buy” list (Him, laughing hysterically: “Why do you always talk about vests? You don’t have any vests. I’ve never seen you buy a vest?!”. Me: “I love vests. I have two, but I think they are too expensive for what they are. And if I don’t say I can’t buy them- I will!”)
Obviously I’m not feeling the support of my peers and loved ones.
Who will I turn to? Net-a-porter for online shopping (voyeuristic only!) and Jak & Jil blog (because they are so cool and maybe I could make the clothes I have look like theirs? Maybe).
Pickles,
ReplyDeleteEarly days... the support will be there, and maybe this is a good time for you to dig deep and discover that it is you that is making this change and we're all just here along side.
BTW, I had a vest... a Mickey Mouse one and I wore it proudly to Yr 8 school dance. Got alot of compliments and attention of the "right" kind too ;) So tell (your) Tim never to underestimate the allure of a good vest. hehe
So instead of the "girl in the green scarf" what shall we call you? (Sad, that I can so easily quote that movie, you can blame Georgia for any and all future shopaholic references)
Peachy
Mon,
