6 Months of No Shopping

I have officially gone 6 months without buying anything fashion-related - I am halfway done with my year of no shopping! It feels great to say that, and it truly has made me appreciate what I already have in my closet.  That, of course, is not to say it has not been challenging; fall clothes has been especially difficult for me not to buy, and seeing some of my favorite brands have great online sales has been tempting as well.  I am proud to say I have stayed strong, but here is a few fashion-related items that have made me second guess my no shopping vow:

So those are the items I have recently been tempted to buy; only 6 more months and I can officially make my first fashion-related purchase! Stay tuned - my next post will be a list of items I am considering to be my first buy after my year of no shopping is complete!

Enjoy the rest of your week!
