Shopaholic Rehab: Make a List, Check It Twice

One of the biggest issues shopaholics like myself have is impulse buying. Seeing an object you didn't know existed that you now desperately need is pretty much a daily occurrence for me. I've found that my closet fills up with items I don't really wear often while pieces I truly need never get purchased. In fact, I looked back to my Things to Buy Before I Hit 30 post and I haven't gotten A SINGLE THING! With the deadline less than a month away, and a new car in my driveway, I'm pretty sure I won't get anything and that's ok. But this is a good wake-up call!

Because sticking to a shopping list helps you stay focused and prevents buying yet another pair of black booties that are 70% off and how could anyone resist that?? Sure, it's ok to stray a little, but I really need to do a better job of buying what I need! So, without further ado...

Things Vyqué Actually Needs to Buy!

• Still need an Hermes scarf
• Still need some Lanvin ballet flats
• Still need a Burberry trench
• A fitted vest
• A designer suit tailored to fit perfectly
• A pair of knee high boots with a stacked heel
• A pair of nude pumps that perfectly match my skin tone
• Leather shorts... oh yes, they will be mine soon!
• More silken jersey blouses
• A super soft leather tee

Hmm, I can't think of anything else right now. On the plus side, credit card is 45.1% paid off, not bad considering it was around 13% paid off last time I did a shopaholic rehab post... last year!
