It's Instagram's Fault!

I think it's safe to say that Instagram has become an addiction of mine and I've become a broke shop-a-holic while browsing people's pictures and finding many "had to have" items.  

In my attempts to ease the financial burden of all these recent purchases, I started to sell all of my old clothes, shoes and jewelry on Ebay.  The extra cash could pay for all of the new goodies I was dying to get my hands on.  It was easy, if I wanted a new item all I had to do was sell something to pay for it. Right? Well, what sounded like a good plan actually turned into a spending frenzy with hopes of selling some old junk!  

Before I knew it, I was purchasing two to three things a day through online shopping.  It's just too easy to shop online! ;)

1.) C. Wonder Bling Collar 2.) Pave Heart Ring 3.) Mint Enamel Bracelet

4.) Forever 21 Faux Fur Vest (sold out) 5.) Zigi Soho Studded Flats 6.) J. Crew Sequins stripe tee

7.) Scalloped Rings 8.) J. Crew Lemon Pulp Tippi Sweater 9.) Pave Heart Bracelet

I'd say reality set in for me when I was trying to figure out what was coming in the mail for me, and I couldn't keep track of all the purchases I had made!  9 things!  I had 9 separate items scheduled to arrive within a few days of each other.  Steve, if you're reading this...I'm sorry! :)

They say the first step is admitting you have a problem...welp, yes I do!

I heard about the closet remix challenge on Instagram and decided that I would give up shopping for 30 days and take this challenge of using clothes I already have in my wardrobe in a fun new way.  Plus, I needed something to give up for Lent! :)

So, that's my story...for today!

Stay tuned for the 10th item I had coming to my house...the purchase that broke my wallet the camel's back! :)
