Over the past couple of months I have bought loads of new clothes, it's as I said in another post retail therapy as well as a cleansing type process; change of look since the break up of a long term relationship.
Last night my current partner told me firmly that I had to stop, he understands what I'm doing yet at the same time he's concerned about the amount I must be spending.
It's true I'm not always being the bargain queen that everyone is used to. I am buying designer labels and branded items, yet some of those items have still been cheaper than the RRP. Next month we have 6 weeks between pay days so I'm not planning on spending any money that I don't need to and I've bought all my Christmas presents, although I have a feeling now I'm going to be told off again for what I bought him.
Is shopping an addiction for me now, is it my coping mechanism since the break up ???
Personally I wouldn't say it's an addiction, a coping mechanism yes. As I said at the beginning it's almost like I'm cleansing myself, although my style hasn't varied (I have a Goth flare and always will) my look has changed.
To some degree it also has something to do with my current partner being so different, it's somewhat difficult going clubbing with chains and big studs attached to you, it also looks wrong in the clubs we visit. He's also older so I find myself finding sexy but maturer clothes to wear. All of that is in my head though as I know he doesn't care how I dress, I can wear my long Mercy skirts if I want. He's discovered it doesn't matter how I dress I still look distinctive and so people who know mw can spot me a mile away.
