3 Months of No Shopping

As of August 13th, 2012, I have officially gone one quarter of a year without shopping! It has been an exciting journey so far, and I have actually been enjoying not shopping and putting my time and money towards other things! People have often asked me how I do it, and how hard it is not to shop; I will admit it has not been the easiest challenge I've experienced.  There have been many times where I have wanted to make a fashion-related purchase, and I know I would have if I had not taken this no shopping vow.  Whether it be through online shopping, or browsing local boutiques, there have been many urges to shop along the way thus far.  Here are some of my greatest temptations so far on my no shopping journey:

LOCAL TEMPTATIONS {Columbus & Cleveland}

Enjoy the rest of your week!
