I'm feeling guilty about disobeying Kendi's 30x30 rules but am justifying my decision by: 1) reminding myself that I love to shop and 21 shop-free days is a great accomplishment for me and 2) we don't have Guy's Frenchys in Ottawa so I was merely stocking up for the warm months!

P.S. Thanks for all your sweet comments about my hair 'disaster'. It's not so bad after all and is kind of growing on me!
I have the same feeling......I was like ok no shopping for me for at least a month, but nope..I caaaaaan't really need some shopping therapy !!!! =) haha
ReplyDeletei love your top from gap!
I say that, being away from Ottaway, you're entitled to special dispensation. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd, btw, interesting coincidence: you're wearing the exact same headband I saw on my favorite Hungarian blogger, Lidia, earlier this week: http://thegirlbehindthefashionmask.blogspot.com/2011/02/white-stripes-feher-csikok.html
Ain't cheating when you are in a different area code ;) I don't know where I heard that one but in this situation it applies!!
ReplyDeleteThe reason I didn't do it is I knew I would be able to stop shopping for a month. It's not like I'm horrible or anything. I just love to shop. Some people love to get their nails done, I love to thrift.

Good grief, you're cute! I absolutely adore that gray skirt and the pattern mixing in the first outfit. The shimmery top in the second outfit plus those boots are just AWESOME together!
ReplyDeleteThe challenge is what you make of it, so if 21 days without shopping is normally a feat for you, then you did great! Be proud of yourself!
Come take a look inside A Working Mom's Closet
thift store shopping is alwys fun, and what a great find you got!!
ReplyDeleteIt is totally fair to take advantage of a good Frenchy's opportunity. I certainly will next time I am in the maritimes.
ReplyDeleteThat place looks insane
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of patience to dig through those bins.
BTW... love the sparkly top you are wearing

Oh, honey....so looking forward to the move back to NS...and Frenchy's...or "La Boutique". The rooting in the bins is half the fun, and clothes are cheaper than in the UK charity shops. Bin rooting tips are as follows: 1. colour of fabric 2. then feel it (crunchy is not nice, nor is scratchy) 3. size? 4. if it passes those 3 steps, then in the basket it goes for trying on! Simples!
