I spent all of this past Saturday shopping in my new home of downtown Boston (see updated profile), and only walked away with a $14 red and chrome egg-timer from Black Ink, Inc. on Charles Street, which I have honestly been eyeing for months now. In fact, I am a changed woman.
Further, my husband, who initially pushed me into this endeavor by doubting I could accomplish such a feat, said to me, "I have noticed a change in your shopping habits. You are much more selective now."
Selective, indeed.
Being that my year of fasting was such a success in my own life and pertaining to my own habits, I am thinking I need to attack another vice in my world and stave it off for a year.
High Fructose Corn Syrup?
Looking in the mirror?
Email? (I wish)
Thoughts?
About the Subject
- CH
- As a twenty-something girl working for a Condé Nast magazine in Times Square and living in New York City, I went a full year without shopping for clothes, shoes, accessories, and any other fashion-related item. I learned a lot about myself, the fashion industry, and the habits we form as humans. While I consider myself more of a fashion aficionado than anything near an expert, clothing and shopping has always been form of pleasure-seeking, if not therapy, for my sometimes over-scheduled life. Ready to rid myself of this habit, I gave up fashion consumption for one year and am now looking for another vice to rid from my world, as I begin a new stage of life in Boston.
