I changed my Instagram bio a while ago to "Basic, not Boring". It might seem kinda lame but I felt this basically described me (pun intended). I like what I like and I stick to the selected few. Once in a while, I might develop  a new fave but I'm all about the basics.


So therefore, do not be surprised (or alarmed) when you see a lot of repetitions in this haul post. I was coherent while ordering about 100 chokers and a thousand rings.

Ha ha. Jk.

We'll begin this post by defining a style haul. It revolves around two ideas.

Firstly, the person must have shopped quite a bit (5 items is a good minimum) and secondly they must be willing to show it all off. So therefore, prepare yourself. This is going to be a loaded post.




1. BAGS

- The backpack:








These were three in a set, similar here, from DressLily.

Loving fashion myself, I realize it's quite easy to become addicted acquiring new, beautiful items to add to my ever growing collection.

However, there comes a time one has to call a spade, a spade or in our case, admit to slight (or serious) addictions.


1. You would buy anything just because it's on sale

Even the Jimmy Choo shoes with the chipped heel you'd probably never fix but hey! One can never have too many shoes, right? Unless your closet has reached bursting point, which leads us to...


2. An alarming increasing rate of "no closet-space " complaints
Granted, it could be a really small closet but still. Your friends are probably tired of hearing it. The solution is quite simple actually. You either:

a. Get a bigger closet, probably by expansion.

b. Stop. Buying. So. Many. Clothing. Items!

 

3. You're constantly buying gifts for people.

Perfectly fine unless it's a story your sticking with just because your conscience is calling you out. If you usually end up keeping them for yourself? No. Just no.
Although, I won't mind. Especially if I actually RECEIVE my gift ; )

4. You remember that dress you would have bought (if only you hadn't forgotten your wallet when you were going for a stroll) 10 years ago.

We all have those things that we remember sadly because we didn't get to buy them. However, if you remember them for way too long, I believe there might be a problem.


5. You are attached to all the stuff you've ever bought.
You remember every single item you've ever bought, the dates they were bought, what store and so on. Yikes! At this point it might be critical. I'd advise you get unattached though. I mean, what happens if everything gets burnt to ashes?


6. You spend about 70% of your allowance/salary on fashion items.
Well, this happens to even the most frugal of us. We'll give you a pass because while we know this is a problem, it's actually a general problem that even non-addicts have.



7. You have a particular dress in about oh, let's say, 8 colours.
If you have found yourself saying "One in every colour you have please!" with every intention of buying all of those dresses, we rest our case. *dusts hands*


8. When shopping becomes your Tylenol, Paracetamol or for some (a.k.a, me), your ice cream.
It's fine to use shopping to make yourself feel better but not every single time. Watch a movie, pray, talk to a friend or eat something if you're feeling down for once! Your pockets (and wardrobe!) would thank you later.


So tell me, on a scale of one to ten, how addicted are you?

I think I'm a five.

YOUR TURN!
