Confessions of A Frugalista

SALE!

I am standing  in front of one of my favorite stores, looking at these four letters. It seems so pleasant, usually in red. Seeking attention from everyone. Come to think of it, that is the word that I have been looking for ever since I stepped on this mall. Now that I see it, there is something that is telling me to look around and check the items.

Fabulous, these shoes: pumps, ballet flats, wedges, boots, stilettos, slide ons, etc (OM!) everything is on SALE.

So I thought: all their shoes are expensive but today, they have cut down the prices. Wow, this is awesome. Maybe I should buy... Oh, I need this to pair my black and white outfit for that event. It's almost Christmas, maybe it's time to buy this red pumps. I want this boots since I can wear this for my next visit in Tagaytay. I need another pair for this and that and the list goes on in my mind.

That moment I know I had to STOP. I can think of a lot reasons why I should get one and go to the cashier and pay.

Question: Do I really need a new pair of shoes? Just because  it's on sale, it doesn't mean that I have to buy, right?

I know I already have enough shoes. READ: ENOUGH. I know us girls, can relate when I say the word ENOUGH since it is a word we all try to avoid in describing our collection of shoes, clothes, bags and accessories.

What I did: I simply left the store, guilt free since I did not make any purchase regardless of the thousand reasons I have came up with why I should buy.

Fashion does not need to be expensive and we do not need brand names as well. All we need is creativity to mix and match what we already have.

Thank you for reading! I hope this helps you a lot in living frugal and fashionable.
