Hello everyone I have an unusual issue for a fashion forum and particularly unusual for me. This is perhaps the first time ever I just haven’t been feeling like buying anything. When I first started reading the forum in late 2016 I was starting a 3-month shopping fast which lasted until late Feb 2017, after I joined. But that was for a different reason, that was because I felt my shopping was out of control ( for me) and my clothing was overflowing our then house. Not buying then took a significant amount of deliberately restraining myself.
Not sure if this current situation was the “wear all my clothes” challenge or the tracking I’m still doing, or if I’ve become so PPP I’ve PPP’d myself out of existence!
It could partly be that our stores are full of mustard for spring and I don’t like mustard, I prefer a much brighter yellow.
I’m not looking for advice, this is good for my budget as we are having to spend a lot on the upcoming daughter’s wedding trip to Vietnam in November (flights, hotels) and perhaps give more money towards that also (already given a first tranche). I did buy matching earrings and necklace for that event which cost more than clothes. But I’m intrigued if this has happened to others?
Even when I put shoes on my wish list I’m blah about actually buying any, and while I’m kind of interested in rust coloured tops none I’ve seen really appeal- one beautiful camisole was just not flattering a while back.
I assume this feeling is temporary. I did buy the puffer coat and a bronze handbag a few weeks ago, the handbag is not in circulation yet, I want the weather to be more summery first.
Where has the Sassy Shoemaker’s Elf gone?!
Perhaps I am slightly depressed... but even when I had depression way in the past (after Mum died 20 years ago, when I was 38) I still bought clothes I think. I certainly don’t have severe depression. Intriguing.
