This title pretty much says it all. I am a self-proclaimed "shopaholic". How does one define a "shopaholic" you may ask? Well, I am here to provide that answer for you! I find myself at Target and/or TJ Maxx/Marshalls minimum 4 times a week. Do I actually need anything? Absolutely not. Yet I somehow end up leaving with something, whether it be the latest makeup product or a "great deal on a top that I couldn't pass up". As I surf the web, I catch myself creeping onto shopping sites in hopes of finding the latest trend. My Pinterest shopping board is filled with various styles and trends that I want to explore. I can virtually go into ANY store and find something that I would like. Seriously, you name it.
Some may consider this to be a serious problem, but here's the thing, I don't always shop in hopes of buying something. Sometimes, I shop just for the sake of seeing whats out there and keeping up-to-date on the latest products. I am also a firm believer in bargain hunting. I'm no extreme couponer or anything, but I have realized that collecting rewards cards/coupons here and there can be a big help. Lets be honest, who doesn't love a free Victoria's Secret PINK lace underwear? Or $5 in CVS "extra bucks". I find that even though I am an avid shopper, I am pretttyyy smart about it. We all have our splurges, but it's important to remember to invest in pieces that will become staples in your wardrobe, makeup collection, etc. I recently spent a bit extra on two amazing pairs of jeans from PacSun. They fit like a glove and were super flattering. It made sense to spend a bit extra on something that I knew would be worth it and would last me a while. It's important to see what's out there and find what's right for YOU!
I hope this helps everyone a little bit about being a smart shopper and knowing that it's okay to be a shopaholic... but doesn't mean you have to be a "buyaholic"! Window shopping can work wonders. So, grab your shopping buddies and spend an afternoon of browsing, collecting inspiration, and okay, spending a little at the mall... I know that's how I will be spending my Friday afternoon ;)
