WIWW: Plaid Scarf + Link Up









Today is the day. Today is one year since I started my resolution of no shopping. What a year it has been and I am proud to show off some items that Santa brought me! 

The scarf and grey long-sleeved tee are from Gap and bought with our points from our Banana Republic credit card, so even Santa was a savvy shopper. These Sperry boots were heavily on sale because of a store going out of business. I was thrilled to help Santa out and save him a trip to the mall.

Now that it is all said and done, moving forward I have decided to continue with some sort of shopping freeze. I have been tossing around some ideas and I am thinking of allowing me one item per month. And, if I don't buy anything in January, then that means for February I can buy two things! And so on...

I haven't confirmed that idea, but I know that I will not ever (I pray) be able to go back to the shopaholic that I was. I have grown in so many ways that this resolution truly changed me!

So, here's to having a healthy, happy, and wonderful new year!

  2. Happy New Year Sarah! Seriously I am so impressed and inspired by your no shopping challenge. I don't think I could do it! How did you avoid temptation to shop? (I think unsubscribing from store emails would definitely help, but I read so many fashion blogs I get in trouble!) I really like the idea of purchasing one item a month...that would be a BIG challenge in itself! You probably mentioned this earlier, but did gifts or gift card purchases count?
