Shopaholics (not so) anonymous

I think I may actually be a shopaholic!

Since finding out I have a job about 3 weeks ago I have been shopping a RIDICULOUS amount of times. I think this is due to the fact that a) I was sick of dressing like a student (leggings, massive jumpers etc) and needed more smart clothes b) I will be earning a proper wage and will no longer have to rely on the overdraft or wherever the hell else my money used to come from?!

But still, I have gone a little overboard me thinks, considering I haven't even been paid yet and probably won't be for some time yet.

Off the top of my head I can recall blowing £100 on Asos, £80 in H&M, a fair bit in Topshop and more than I had expected in Dorothy Perkins- I told you their Autumn shoes are just too good! As for makeup I haven't splashed out that much at all. I have ordered some stuff from Mac which should be arriving soon but other than that it has just been a few essentials!

Anyway, is this really bad or am I just being stupid? I've got so many more things I want it's like I've unleashed the shopping beast I had in my first year of uni again oh dear!

On a more positive note, I might do another video of just an update and show you a few of the things. This is only a maybe, I am still camera shy yet! But, yes, opinions on everything please ladies! :)

  1. I think it's really easy to get carried away when you're celebrating... but sometimes it's good to treat yourself and as it goes, a new job is a great excuse!

    I've been going through a really excessive shopping phase over the past month but I love everything that I've bought and know that I'll get the use out of everything which I think is really important.

    Congratulations and hope you enjoy all of your new goodies! x

  4. I'm the same - after not having a job for aaaaages my first pay cheque was rightly frittered away.
    You have to fritter your first pay cheque away, it's the law!

  5. Thanks for the advice girls you are all so lovely! I do like all my things I didn't just get them on a whim I suppose, so that should make me feel a little better! I also have no concept for money so am quite worried about how I am going to deal with a 'proper wage' lol we shall see! xx
