I ' ve been having trouble with curbing my spending on fashion in the recent months , and today ' s been a culmination of my bad habit when I purchased an expensive coat that 1 I really don ' t need and 2 I have a coat in a similar length and colour already . I just wanted it because I loved the cut , and it was on sale . Damn everything else . I have to start filling my free time and stress relief with something else than clothes shopping . Which I guess means no more Pinterest , Instagram , blogs . Maybe less of FFA too . I ' ve already unsubscribed from all newsletters bombarding me with sale alerts and cleared my YouTube and Instagram feeds from anything fashion related . It kind of sucks because I love fashion , but shopping isn ' t healthy for me at the moment and keeping myself in the loop is just enabling my addiction . I used to spend maybe 300 on clothes a YEAR and used my free time playing video games at home , whereas this year alone I ' ve spent . Well , you can probably add an extra zero after my old yearly budget and that would be close . I can ' t believe I let myself get so caught up in all this . Fashion was a relatively new subject to me at the beginning of the year and this has all just been a bit too overwhelming .
