Yesterday after reading this post and tweeting back forth with LMC herself I decided to follow her always fashionable lead and do a bit of a No Shopping Challenge for myself! I am a shopping addict, when asked my hobbies it is always my number one. I shop when I’m happy, shop when i’m sad, shop when i’m bored and sometimes just shop for the hell of it! I am constantly tempted by online sales notices and all the women who work at every plus sized store in my area know me by name, rank and dress size. Obviously I’m a bit of a shopaholic. Now I’m not saying there is anything wrong with me or anyone else loving them some shoppin, but my closet is so full and my savings account is absoluetely empty so its time to give no shopping a try. Nightrider and I want to go on a couple vacations this year so i figure what better way to save for some travel then to cut down my shoe and dress budget. Now since i’m not as awesome as LMC and am honestly a totally scaredy cat I’m only committing myself to 30 days. If i find that its working for me and i’m saving cash then thats awesome and maybe i will give 90 days a try, we will see. I am hoping that I will rediscover alot of the clothes I currently have hiding and will develop some new styles for myself, i should be exciting and I will be documenting about it from time to time.

Here are the rules

No shopping for  the following items for 30 days. Simple as that.

1. Clothing

2. Shoes

3. Accessories

4. Makeup

5. Home Decor

Starting today January 7th and ending February 7th, just in time for me to get a new dress for Valentines day! 

If anyone sees me with that lovely hot pink Torrid credit card before the 2/7/2010 you have the right to tackle me.
