Let us count the ways:
Need
Garment specific
Thrift stores
Sales and bargains
Color
Fabric
I know when I see it
Fashion fad
Bored and needed to get out and about
Shopping all ways now and then, I believe, is the right answer.
I am mainly a thrift store shopper leaning into need.
Last fall I I over did it on tunics, bought more than I needed. That turned into more laundry than I care to have. So, now I am keen on asking myself do I need to buy whatever. I am skilled at making excuses in that regard. Get it down to will it break my heart to say I don’t need it is the coin toss. No wins more often.
Deciding on no is a major change of my shopping attitude. Proof that we can change. Yay me!
A local thrift store is running a 25% off clothes sale. That is worth a quick look. I bought 2 Summer tops and a pair of Gap Madras shorts. I love Madras. I look for Madras in the men’s section because it is difficult to find, and when I do, it is in the men’s section.
Today though, I didn’t look on the men's racks. As I make my way to the check out counter, something out of the corner of my eye briefly catches my attention. My neck snaps in that direction. Madras! What a thrill. The mind knows what the mind knows. 😎
