First Post: No Rebecca for a Year

Hello! 

My name is Cassidy Short and I am a former

shopaholic.  I say former because I have made a vow to not

shop (anything fashion related) for a year.  I have realized

the amount I spend on shopping for clothes, accessories,

etc, is absurd for a twenty-something graduate student & 

employee of a non-profit.  I also have a few big (in another

word, EXPENSIVE) events coming up in the next year

such as being in the weddings of 3 of my close friends, a

boyfriend moving across the country (thank God for

Southwest Rapid Rewards!), and finishing up grad school;

it seems wise to invest less money in shopping in order to

partake in other more worthwhile experiences.  

And by less money, I mean no money.  So, there you have

it - one year with no new shoes, sparkly dresses, cute

scarves, or even a Rebecca Minkoff handbag, the last item

I purchased before shopping-abstinence began (hence the

name: No Rebecca for a Year).  Wish me luck, I will need

it! 

Xoxo, 

Cassidy
