Retail Therapy: Do You Partake?
You lost the job promotion. You just broke up with your boyfriend. You bombed that ginormous chemistry test. Whats a girl to do (other than whip out her credit card and hit the stores)?
Im a huge believer in retail therapy. Sometimes, shopping just makes you feel good. It takes your mind off things and helps you to cope with whatever recent downfall has crossed your path. (And, of course, you get some pretty fabulous clothes and accessories out of itor shoes. Shoes are always winners!) Ive spent oodles of money post-life disaster. But of course, you dont want to drain your entire bank account in your moment of weakness. So, if youre planning to partake in a little retail therapy in the future (girl, I say go ahead and do it), then set some limits for a little guilt-free shopping session.
1. Set aside a specific number. If you want to spend $100, then only take that much with you. Make sure you have a number in mind before you hit the stores. That way, you wont end up spending your whole bank account trying to make yourself feel better. (Trust meyoull only feel worse later!)
2. Dont do anything drastic. Its tempting to want a makeover after something doesnt go your way. But dont fall victim to a drastic change by making snap decisions with little thought. Instead of buying black hair dye for your honey-blond locks or walking straight into that mall salon for your long hair to become a bob, think it through. It might sound inspiring to alter your look today, but you might have major beauty regrets tomorrow. Wait at least a week before making this decision! Buy a sequin top, or a piece thats out of the ordinary for yourself instead.
3. Opt for classics and favorites. I find that when I need a little comfort, shopping for the things I know look great on me is the way to go. First, itll make you feel better to update your favorite cardiganthe one that looks great with leggings or belted with a bow. And second, if you go in with specific goals, its far more likely youll forget about that embarrassing presentation thats plaguing your mind. Youll have something else to occupy your thoughts.
