Nothing beats a bad cold like a French-inspired outfit, well not really but at least I felt good in my outfit, that's the life of a teacher, after the whole class gets sick then it's the teacher's turn, one can only take in so many germs.
I'm back on my shopping budget, last month I went a bit out of control with my spending. This weekend I was reflecting on my shopping habits and it
seriously dawned on me that no matter how many shoes or skirts I buy it will never be enough, things won't complete me, the only one who can satisfy my emotional needs is God. I don't want to sound too religious but it's true, most times I try to shoo my emotional needs away so I don't have to think about them and I do so by shopping. I'm not over my shopping problem but there's improvement. I'm not going to quit shopping but I want to shop for the right reasons.
Anyone looking forward to Spring Break?

I have the same shopping problem. I use shopping to make myself feel better, to make all the unpleasantness go away. It's an addiction, really.
Yeah, I know what you mean - there is always something new to want. How do you deal with that? I'm not that religious. I'm a little religious, but not to the point when I've felt that God has given me something tangible.
Hope you are feeling better soon!
You look beautiful.
I am the same way, shopping fills some sort of void in me that God should be filling. I have really been convicted about this in the last few months.
Hope you have a great day Shey!
I love the collar peeking out the all the necklaces!
Well, I just happened to write about the temptation of new things today. It is never-ending, and I have no idea what makes me want new things all the time. Scary stuff, right?
You look wonderful though, I love the colour of the tights and the shoes!
The everlasting need for things is the hardest problem to overcome. I understand and I'm a victim of emotional shopping. So keep pushing and eventually you'll only shop for the right reasons.
ps. You look wonderful and I want those vintage oxfords!! :)
I've actually been less inclined to think about wanting to shop because I know clothes don't really satisfy me. While I'm shopping, it feels great, but when I'm done, I forget about the clothes. Not good. I've been piling up a lot of clothes in my closet, so I really want to just give them away or sell them. I don't want to be too attached to them, making me a materialistic person. So recently, I've decided to put everything I have for sale. I just posted that on my blog last night. I do hope I get to sell some of my clothes on the blog.
I like French looks a lot!
