Day 11:Cold

I have been so busy @ work that I have forgotten 50 % of my new years resolution. While I have abstained from shopping, I have forgotten to blog about the process.

Note to self: must remember to blog about daily shopping withdrawals.

Today I wish that I was wearing something like this little gem.

But instead- it continues to be 4 degrees outside. Which means I donned a sweater- layered on a bigger sweater. With a Scarf, and knee length wool coat. Gloves...... and boots.

Dear winter. If you have to be cold...... can you invent a way that I can look fabulous in my frumpy sweaters? As if now, I'm looking a little mash potato-ish.

Love,
Little Red

Little Red

New beginnings: Stop the Shop 2011

Photo taken on my shopping trip in Notting Hill Last Summer!

The time has come to make some New Years resolutions. Now, I don't remember taking the New Year, or any impending resolutions seriously since the 6th grade. Where I was going to " Go to practice everyday so I could make it to the Jr. Olympics" I had high expectations for myself!
This year seems different, special somehow- maybe because today is 01/01/11- seems like some kind of a sign right? Knowing that this big day was coming made me ponder some things, and together with " Mr. Little Red", a personal campaign was born.

Before I can explain my New Years Resolution/ Personal Campaign, lets take a little look into the past.
1: Shopaholic is a term used to describe individual who consider themselves as addicted to shopping.

Shopaholic can also refer to:


2:Remember this post?

Well, I would like to say that I have changed- that I made a budget- that I did something to help save money. But I haven't. I still shop all the time!!!!!

Which brings us to the personal Campaign. Introducing......... drum roll please.....

STOP THE SHOP: 2011.

This Saying started when " Mr. Little Red" would chant the words "Stop the Shop" every time he found some shopping bags, or heaven forbid caught me walking through the door with something new! What I have decided to do in 2011- in order to help Start the "Stop the Shop" Campaign is to see how far I can stretch my closet. I am setting a goal of 60 days- without shopping for any new clothing items. I have to only use what is in my closet- which I admit, is way more than any 1 person needs. At the end of the 60 days, I will evaluate and set a new goal. Along the way, I will be posting my progress, and maybe even the outcome of the closet raiding that will be going on.

Ok- now that I have put it out there, I am ready to go! Stay posted for news.... and a lot of whining. I really do enjoy a good shopping trip, so I know I am going to go through some withdrawals. And Cheers to blogging again! I think I only posted 1 or 2 last years, and I am excited for the outlet again! NOW- tell me, what resolutions are you doing this new year?

Love,
Little Red
