I Want It Ebay

(If you sing the title to this post to 'I Want It That Way' by Backstreet Boys, it makes it much more effective).

Anyway, since reading the terms and conditions of my Miss Selfridge store card, with little understanding albeit, I have come to the conclusion that I need to save my pennies. Therefore, I am going to do everything in my power to buy as much as I can for the littlest amount of money possible (fun!)

As people around me are probably aware, I'm a spendaholic. I'm constantly spending money on things I don't want or need, so when something does come along that I totally fall in love with (a leapoard print fur coat every single A/W for the past 3 years goddammit! I swear they remain fashionable to taunt me) I can not afford it. No more! I say.

Therefore, I am making a pledge on the world wide web that I am going to find ways to spend money more carefully (and pay off my store card with any dollar left over). It is for that reason that I have decided to start shopping on Ebay and in charity stores. I'm going to be brutally honest, I am the kind of person who can't be bothered searching through the sale racks and so constantly buy things the day before the sales begin, only to find out I've bought £200 worth of clothing, which could have set me back just £50 had I waited a day. Thus, the thought of hunting down clothes in charity shops doesn't sound so appealing.

Yet, I'm also quite excited about it as it means I will probably find much more unique and quirky pieces than I ever could on the high street. I may even get chance to style some pieces if I can find a decent book about how to cut/sew etc. (maybe in Barnardo's!?) And let's face it, there's no harm in helping out a charity, god knows how many clothes I've sent to them, I may as well buy some.

So keep tuned on my journey to the charity store and Ebay (going to have to wait until payday though, as I've already spent my wages this month. Typical.)
