Last year, when I turned 60, I made a list of four Eileen Fisher basics that I wanted. I decided that it was too hard to find basics (plain black whatevers) at thrift stores, my usual haunt. And luckily enough, without squandering too much time, I got all of them at around 60% off. As I mentioned in my last post, I call Nordstrom and have them price match if possible. Then I get the famous Nordies guarantee.
Luckily too, my purchases came right before I went away for 6 weeks. I seldom shop for clothing when I'm on the road. So there was an endpoint.
However, as I mentioned also in my last post, I bought a long EF black skirt to replace the one I wore last summer. But then...the desires swelled. I also put about eight items in my shopping cart. I waited a few hours and all but two were sold out. Thank heavens!
Sometimes I think I am addicted shopper using thrift stores as my methadone. Buying another of a beloved skirt led, in my case, not to satiety, but to desire.
Is that normal? What does one do to turn desire to satisfaction?
