And if I'm not sure walking away w/o it. 3 days later if I'm still thinking about it wishing I had bought it... go back and get it. Or maybe wait 7 days if that's a bit more realistic for ya :)Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08438719336885429600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822077136757848388.post-46620128398788500182012-07-20T21:42:28.824-04:002012-07-20T21:42:28.824-04:00Hey Jessica,
Do you read the blog "Tiny Twig ...Hey Jessica,<br />Do you read the blog "Tiny Twig Goes Out on a Limb"? Her e-book about simplifying your wardrobe was super helpful to me. I think a lot more now before buying lots of clothes.<br />http://www.thenobrainerwardrobe.com<br /><br />Just an idea. Good luck with your move!Ashleigh Perkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822077136757848388.post-90820460993366930182012-07-20T17:59:36.018-04:002012-07-20T17:59:36.018-04:00Check out this org:

I actually love purging, so I'm a l...Good luck! I actually love purging, so I'm a little jealous.<br /><br />1. I watch Toy Story 2 or 3, and think of all the sad little toys I have that wish they were being played with. I always want to give them to a nice child. <br /><br />Also, flip through a few of your favorite home decor magazines, with the idealized rooms that have no clutter and no junk.<br /><br />Put it in the car or garage as if it's already given away, and sleep on it. If you're still thinking about it the next day and feeling really bad that you got rid of it, rescue it from the garage. Most of the time, in a few hours I've forgotten what I even put in the car, so it's clear I don't need it.<br /><br />3. Think about the cost in terms of what you're giving up to get it (how many hours do I have to spend away from my family at the office to afford it, how many blueberries could I get at the farmers market for the cost of that one pair of shoes, how many college textbooks could you buy for your kid for the cost of that new TV, etc.)<br /><br />Sleep on it. If I still really, really wish I'd bought that super cute dress the next day, because it's versitile and so different from anything else in my closet, then I go back and get it. But again, usually I forget all about it, or the hassle factor of going all the way back to the store outweighs how much I think I want it.<br /><br />Let reality win over fantasy. Sometimes I see, say, a juicer and I think, "YES! I shall drink juice! I will live on fresh juice, and my skin will be awesome, and I'll be thin and healthy and vital! YES! JUICE IS THE ANSWER." Then you get it home and realize you're never home long enough to make juice and you have nothing in the house with which to make juice because you haven't grocery shopped in weeks, and you put it in a back cupboard or high shelf somewhere and never use it. Don't let yourself play infomercials in your head. Look at the reality of your life and think, "Am I really going to wear this or use this, and is it really going to improve my life as much as I think it is right now?" For me, the answer is usually no.Bethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822077136757848388.post-55847956017473082522012-07-20T14:39:45.013-04:002012-07-20T14:39:45.013-04:00Are you taking your dog with you guys?Are you taking your dog with you guys?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
