Some people call it “sales season”, others call it “in the shopping mood”, and then there are some who know when it’s early signs of the “Shopaholic Syndrome”.
I’ve begun to realize that I’m going over the edge. I can blame it on bridal shopping, sales, or Noor, but deep down inside I know what it is, there is no room for denial.
And I thought I was the one in control!
1. You swear you won’t go to the mall, but then go with your friend for company and end up doing equal shopping… “They were simply catches!”
2. You leave your credit card at home to avoid impulse buying, but get it the next say to swipe everything you saw the day before thinking “just this time.”
3. When you see something you like but don’t get, you find yourself starring into the distance just thinking about it and people around you snap in your face and say, “Don’t tell me your still thinking about it.”
4. You have dreams about the jacket you saw a few months back but can’t afford; then do your weekly pilgrimage to the shop waiting for the sale to get it before sizes run out.
5. You keep your stuff in shopping bags for a week on your bedroom couch until you are able to find room for them in one of the closets (It doesn’t have to be your closet!)
6. When your remodeling your room, you can’t but use all the space to make hangers for you bags so they won’t get creased, boxes for your shoes so they all remain apart and visible, double hangers for your jackets because the leather just can’t overlap the cashmere, and for your shirts so they can be organized by color and style.
7. You make a list of all the necessities, and then start adding to it because “you just forgot you needed that.”
8. Nothing is ever enough, you have a valid reason to get anything, and everyone including God stops believing your promises because they know you can’t help it.
Ok, that’s enough confessions!
