"A man will never love you as well as a store..'' True that because shops bring clothes in all sizes and you get to choose what's perfect for you. And you can always return it or exchange it if it doesn't fit well. You can't do that with men, not unless you want 'slut' to be your middle name.
But your love for clothing shops can grow like cancer and if not detected early, you can find yourself in a cute sytlish 1,70 m long and 50 cm wide coffin, if not Shopaholic Anonymous.You know that feeling you get when you pass by Mr Price or MeMeMe, that tells you the pair of shoes you bought last week is no longer the 'in' thing. And oh, that,you can get the same outfit Rihana wore going out for coffee in LA in a low price.
Yes it slips your mind that the main reason you're at the mall is to get food. Well im guilty of that and saddly Joan Rivers wont charge me because she'll have to charge herself too.
Being a Tertiary student is no easy task. Having a stylish lifestyle as mine is a good curse. I've been staying at res which means I'm far from my mom who doesn't allow me to spend money on unnecessary shoes and bags. She doesn't get it anyway. I sometimes find myself broke and counting days till friday when I get my weekly allowance. Well at first my parents use to give me monthly, but because of my addiction, they got annoyed with me crying in the middle of a month for food money. Well since then, weekly works just fine. I get money but before I even buy food, I'll go check if there's no sale at any department store. Mr Price and Legit usually have a sale which is reasonable to students and I always buy. I dont buy much though, just a pair of shoes, a top and even some accessory. That's not a lot right? I try to hold myself but my heart tells me I need it. The rush I get when paying for it comes with guilt but it feels so right, the world seems perfect.
It makes me forget about the mass communications assignment I have to work on, and my bad lovelife seems useless. Seeing myself in that mirror takes me to the great fashion capital city Milan. yess. Then I wear it and wash it and realise it's not the same anymore. And I need something else to keep the feeling. I'ts like a drug, your life evolves around it.
A week without shopping is like a year without water,. sometimes I'll open my designer purse and realise how broke I am. I dont need rehab though, at least not now. I'm only 20 ...I just want to shop.
