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:
- A slang term for Compulsive Shopping also known as Compulsive buying disorder
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
Send anything you find that you don't wear my way! I'll be glad to help you clear things out.
ReplyDeleteI am going to lose a few libs and also try to be more religious by reading the Sunday School lessons. Good luck with stop the shop ;). I know you can do it. One of you just needs to go back to school so you become poor and you'll have no choice ;). xo
