This New Year’s Day, I had made a resolution to myself that I would try not to spend unnecessarily on luxury items like I did last year. Actually, to tell you the truth, I am a bit of a shopaholic (and that is an understatement). Over the years I have collected a plethora of designer shoes, designer bags, and designer clothes. Now, the problem with me is that, after I wear an item once, I dare not be seen in the same outfit again for at least the next few months, so as not to be labeled repetitive in my dressing style. I guess this habit started when I was in high school. I remember that, back then, we used to compete with each other to see who could not repeat their outfit the longest. Of course, that totally drained my parents’ pockets. Nowadays, however, I drain my own pocket. That is how the New Year’s Resolution to not buy too many luxury items came about.
Well, you will be shocked to know that my New Year’s resolution almost got broken recently, and that too so early on in the year. What happened was that I had gone shopping at the local mall and was browsing through the window displays of the various stores. All of a sudden, a number of handbags caught my attention, because they looked really awesome. Upon further inspection, I realized that they were louis vuitton handbags. Immediately, I felt like purchasing them. However, my better judgment prevailed and stopped me from getting my credit card swiped. I called up my friend and took her advice first. She asked me why I was purchasing the real thing, when louis vuitton replica handbags are easily available. I thanked her profusely for informing me about that, and for helping me save my hard earned money. It was a close call, but I was saved from wasting my money.
