Day 337

I determined today that I have a problem.  I can't go to the mall without buying something. And usually, it's something I do end up wearing or using. It's not like it sits in the back of my closet, never to see the light if day again. But I don't really NEED it and honestly, I don't have the money to spend. I was really good during the term about saving but then I get home and BAM debit card's out.

It just makes me feel good, to have new, cute things. I've been putting a lot of effort into dressing up every day instead of going to class in yoga pants and a ratty sweatshirt. I've had a lot more confidence this term and I think the way I've been dressing has a lot to do with that. I think the shopping is me trying to keep that going.

Buying those new, more fashion-y clothes is definitely important because my wardrobe has been seriously lacking but I'm worried about over-spending. I buy on sale ALWAYS (40% off American Eagle right now!) but still, I'm not rich and I have things like, you know, rent to pay for. I think I'll be turning over my debit card toy mom until after Christmas. That way I can't possibly spend until after Christmas, and then I'll have all those gift cards to use :)
