Confessions of a Shopaholic

No, I'm not. I just watched the movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic", starring a real Debra Messing look-alike. Several laugh-out-loud moments too, I must say. Anyway, she spends a lot on fashion and racks up a good amount of credit card debt doing so. Though that is serious business, the movie is a comedy.

I have to admit I love to shop, and have shoes and jewelry that match most everything in my closet.

What's your fashion addiction? (This is not a question just for the ladies, either, I know some of you men are real fashion plates...)

I haven't seen that movie. I couldn't tell by the trailers if it was going to be very good or not. Maybe I'll have to rent it now.

I think I'm pretty well balanced in my shopping now. But I know that after my divorce I went nuts buying lingerie & nighties.

I'm definitely not a shoe fanatic & have tried to reign in the jewelry purchases.

I'll have to admit I am a shopaholic. I love to shop, and now with the internet I can stay home and shop in my jammies. That's not as much fun, but it's more comfortable....The thing that I have been looking for, for years is a perfect Purse, I must have a zillion Purses but not the perfect one. One time I bought one only to find when I got home that I already had one just like it. Had to return it.....Second on my favorite things to shop for would be shoes, I ran out of spaces to put shoe racks, so I have boxes and bags full of them in the closet.......terrible huh.....I'll shop for anything, I even like to shop for groceries....Help me....lol

I used to have a shoe buying problem but I think it is over. I found a new way to get shoes without buying them. My daughter is a fanatic about shoes so I let her buy them (we wear the same size) and when she gets sick of them (which is fairly quickly) I get them!!

I enjoy shopping once in a while but recently my purchases have been primarily for my grandchildren.

We are expecting a new baby in the family, and I am having a ball shopping for him. He's due to make an appearance the end of January. I can't wait, I love him already. I'm the only one that said he was going to be a Boy, everyone else said it's a Girl. Ha......So far I've bought him a Bassinet and a Crib with attached Changing Table, and Rocking Chair he'll let Mommy use that when he want's to rock. I'm dying to start on all those little things. You know the little shirts and jammies Blankets etc. etc. etc.

I don't have a shoe buying problem, but I do have a bad habit of when I find something I like, I will buy it in several colors. I end up dressing pretty much the same with only a change in my red day, green day, purple day, etc. And I like solid colors, so there's like two plaid shirts in my closet and one pair of pinstripe dress pants and everything else is solid color. LOL

Ohhhh... and I buy books! Omgosh.. I have a basket full of paperbacks in my nightstand waiting to be read. I buy them, then donate them to either the book exchange at work or Friends of the Library. (I still have quite an impressive book collection in my personal library).
