Happy Hump Day, lovelies!
There is something wonderful to be said about the work week being half over and yesterday was the first day back to work. Who doesn’t want a little extra time to catch up on house work, sleep in an extra day, etc?
Instead of doing my normal Wednesday Wishlist post, I decided to take things in a different direction this month, in place of Wishlist Wednesdays. Like most of you, I took part in a little bit of Labor Day Sale shopping this past weekend. I was good, and didn’t go crazy, and I actually sold enough items in my closet to make up for what I bought (oh so smart!). To keep myself from going crazy over fall fashion and buying tons of things I don’t need, this month I will be participating in No Shop September.
See my point?
I have a puffer vest, a few button downs, and I certainly don’t need any more plaid! This No Shop September is to help reorient my perspective on need and shopping, and to prioritize my life. Instead of ANOTHER polka dot pullover, I could use that money to sponsor a child from World Vision. Or what about dates with my husband???? Investing in the people around me and in causes that should take priority are going to be my focus this month, as I step away from the shopping cart and the floods of emails I get about sales and ‘new arrivals”.
So, for the month of September, I will:
1) Not shop (duh)
2) Unsubscribe from ALL retail store emails, Groopdealz, Veryjane, etc.
3) Post a little bit of motivation every Wednesday for those of us taking the challenge
4) No more wishlists for the month, I have plenty to be thankful for!
So lovelies, if you are joining me, let us show each other support because we know there are LOTS of sales still going on, and still plenty of fall clothes to be wished for. Snap a pic on Instagram and hashtag it with #noshopseptember or #nospendseptember, and you’ll see just how many fashionistas are taking part!
I am with you friend! I need to cut back on my spending and this is a great challenge. I won't beat myself up if I buy one or two items, but I will try to keep it to a minimum! Thanks! Susan

I am joining you after September 15 and not shopping until October 15. Life has been crazy lately, and I've been doing a lot of reevaluating of many things. Blogging, shopping habits, work/life/blog balance, etc. Is it even possible to do it all? I am in major need of a new perspective and fresh outlook. And I still owe you that Skype date – oh, I am the worst! But, seriously, investing more time with the people around me is at the top of my list.
