Affluenza... Kerchoo!

I can't belive I fell for it.. again.

I love fashion.. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning bits and bobs from all the different bloggies I love.

..but I feel like I've been sucked into a vortex of "I want, I want, I want" every time I click and see some bright, shiny outfit
:(

There was a time when I had my lust for luxe under control.. but since I finished university and got a full time job, it's back with a vicious ferocity!
Aargh.. what to do, eh?

I even got to the point where I was thinking this year we "had" to upgrade to a bigger house.. be mortgaged to the max..What???
My husband was sensible and said, maybe we should wait until after we've had kidlets before we choose to upgrade to a bigger mortgage.. our place right now is small but absolutely fine for us, even with a kid or two... and it's affordable on one income, which is really important.

So, how to get rid of the "I wants"?  I'm not sure.  But next thing on my list is to clean out my wardrobe and give a bunch of stuff away to the op shop.  I have too much stuff.  There.  I said it.
I wonder why I lose enjoyment of the things I own, even though they are beautiful, when I have so many, and appreciate them so much more when I only have a few precious things?

One of life's mysteries I imagine.

Off to ponder the meaning of life and the universe

Until next time
