A WELL NEEDED HIATUS

As stated in my 2010 pledge I plan on spending less money. For me all this means is less shopping. I have taken it upon myself to not shop until July 1st. So regardless of how amazing the sale is, or how beautiful the color looks against my complexion I CANNOT purchase it. If you know me at all you know that this is some feat. I mean going from shopping 5 days a week to nothing for 6 months!!!!!!!! But I know I can do it.

Here are my rules:

1. NO SHOPPING.....

2. I can only buy things I need like maybe stockings (lol).

3. All monies left over from my weekly allowance will go into a "shopping only" account.

4. When July arrives I can only use money from my shopping account.

5. Thereafter I can spend no more than 5% of my salary on shopping.

I think that covers everything.

I'm really interested to see what happens when I have an event to attend. I guess whatever's in my closet is what I will be wearing. This is definitely going to be an adventure. I will definitely keep you all posted.

Until July I guess I will just be window shopping, a concept I never understood, but I will be a pro at it come July.

Here are a few items I "got" while window shopping today.

My favorite #3 designer is on sale today at Gilt. If i were shopping I would own this dress by now. Its in my favorite color to.

J Crew Puffer. I so want one of these.

Well till tomorrow, Black Orchid.........KISSES

Wait one more thing. For those of you who have pledged to be financially solvent start setting up your own steps on how you plan to achieve your goal.
