For anyone obsessed with shopping you’re always stuck between two states of mind. You’re either in the midst of a post-shopping euphoria looking at all the good deals you managed to get or you’re regretting spending heaps of money on things that you didn’t really need.
Let’s be honest- being a shopaholic. It’s a real problem. How do you know you’re a real shopaholic? *cracks knuckles* Here’s how:
1. You’re actually one of the crazy ones to stand in line for almost every sale you can find
Khaadi mid-summer collection II? Hell yes
2. You end up buying more clothes in spite of the fact that you already have a bunch of unworn clothes you bought at a recent shopping trip
Why am I like this?
3. There’s literally never enough closet space for all your shopping
Can I please have Carrie Bradshaw’s closet?
4. You’ve got a vulture’s eye when it comes to looking out for sale
You can spot any and every sale around you.
5. All those marketing strategies that make a fool out of you? Yeah, you fall for those. EVERY TIME
Omg, 4000 rupees for a make-up bundle that normally costs 4200? I’m stupid enough to fall for this. Take my money!
6. Whenever you buy something for yourself, the world seems brighter
Whoever said money couldn’t buy happiness didn’t know where to shop.
7. You spend your time on the internet browsing stores online when you’re bored
And of course, end up buying a thing or too…
9. And you have spent whole nights online just keeping up-to-date with the latest trends
You’ve also signed up for every worthy newsletters to be the first to know and you’re up-to-date on when the new collections come out every season.
9. You fully know the pain of waiting too long to buy something and then it’s sold out…
All that’s left to do is make dua for it to get re-stocked.
10. You feel self-actualized when you go in a store and just buy that one thing you intended to without going crazy
11. You’ve also been known to just window shop because you simply can’t afford to feed your need to shop but you do it anyway
What else are credit cards for?
12. When you receive your online orders and it feels like Eid came early
13. You can’t seem to save money unless it is to buy something expensive
You gotta treat yo’ self.
14. You already have a shade of lip color but you buy it again and again from different brands because you have no self-control
There’s no control…
15. Every time you spend your money to buy something it satisfies your soul
Isn’t consumerism the worst?
