help me cure my luxury brand addiction?

levis_88 asked:


it started on thanksgiving 2008, when all those crazy sales r going on at eluxury, neiman, saks, bloomings, etc.

I shop like crazy during thanksgiving, it’s like a yearly ritual for me

But

This year, the sale went on from thanksgiving til today.

I can’t control myself and everyday instead of my usual internet hobby (facebook, myspace, friendster, watch anime, news, etc)

I hunt sale items like crazy, day and night. I even bookmark all of them

I’m not a fashion addict, heck I don’t even know brands like burberry, dior, fendi, gucci, maison martin, prada, true religion, diesel, ETCCCC

damn I can keep going..

PLEASE HELP ME TO GET AWAY FROM THIS HABIT.

I have spent (not meaning to brag) more than 2000$ buying all these sale items, some I have returned

I can’t control it, i tried not to, but it just feel like

if I don’t get it fast enough, other people will take it, sale items are only available in limited quantities and it’s really hard to find my size (small)

Do you guys have any suggestion?, anyone on the same boat?

    Would it help to inventory your existing wardrobe, and decide in advance what you need to add to it? A whole closet full of clothes that don’t go with your other clothes would be no bargain.

    In my case, closet space is the most limiting factor. I hate to see my clothes so squashed in there that I have a hard time pulling them out. I even devised a way to store empty hangers above the pole so I’d have more hanging room. (I drove very long nails — six-inch ones made to support rain gutters — one on each side of the closet walls, high up above the shelf. Each nail holds eight or more hangers. Also I’ve seen people suspend adjustable curtain rods high up between the two walls to hold empty hangers.)

    I sometimes regret not pouncing on some of the nice clothes I’ve seen. I’m hard to fit, and fussy about materials. But I console myself by realizing that I already have lots and lots of great clothes, and always have something to wear that I’m happy in.

    Some women are so vain about wearing luxury brands that they’ve perfected the art of carrying their coats and tossing their jackets so that the labels are sure to show. But you can’t flash the labels on every kind of garment, can you?

    Classy labels are not an automatic guarantee of style and value. Even famous designers make mistakes that don’t sell well and have to be put on sale.
