New Thing #169: Shopping Aversion Therapy

Two situations let to this new thing. One, not being employed for an extending amount of time I have put a shopping embargo on myself, not being allowed to purchase anything, other than the necessities until I receive a pay check. Secondly, said unemployment leads to watching multiple What Not To Wear episodes. Every time I watch that show I am amazed at how they spend $5,000, obviously depending on the store would make it easier or harder. I decided to compile an online shopping cart worth $5,000. I chose my two favorite stores, Ann Taylor Loft and Banana Republic, and while it was liberating to choose everything and anything in the stores that I wanted, it was exhausting! Obviously I would choose more stores if I were on the show, hint hint to my friends to nominate me :), but I think my desire to shop has been cured for a while.

What a cool idea!! I once went on the JCrew website and chose everything I wanted (hypothetical situation, of course), but it didn't add up to $5,000.
