How to Stop Shopping, From a Retail Obsessive
I'm an Obsessive Shopper — Here's What Happened When I Quit For a Month
2
I used to spend countless hours browsing online and shopping in-store because I always felt like I had nothing to wear. Whether I was searching for a specific event or changing my wardrobe in between seasons, everything in my closet always felt stale. Not shopping for a month really forced me to look at my wardrobe in a new light, making me think outside the box when it comes to styling pieces I wear on a regular basis.
I learned the art of purging as well. When I came across items in my closet that I often pass up, I had to force myself to either style them or finally let them go. Some of my favourite outfits came from putting a bit more thought into my unworn pieces and giving them more attention.
