Fashion Detox Update

Weekly Update!!! Soooo I am dying to buy something!! I am seriously getting weak. This will make the fourth week that we have been on the fashion detox. I did have been doing pretty good. But each week gets harder. I believe this week has been the hardest. I have been dying to buy a watch, and I was very tempted. Im looking forward to completing the fashion detox. I did think it was a good activity. I really have realized how much I want to buy unnecessary stuff. I hope I do not cheat!! I would like to conquer the Challenge!!

TO ALLLL MY VIEWERS!!!!!!

Have a HAPPY FRIDAY!!

Fashion Detox

WEEK THREE This week was a challenging week. It was very hard to fight the temptation to shop. Although I have recently had the urge to shop, I have been doing pretty well. I have not bought anything yet. It has been a few times I have gone to the mall. I also have visited online clothing stores. The times I did go to the mall, I did not bring my wallet. I would purposely leave my wallet at home. I have saved a few dollars this week also. I usually buy a random top or accessories. I feel as though I am going to do good with the fashion detox. I have set my mind on only buying the things that I need. This Tuesday I went into Eve Maries to do a project and almost picked up a pair of earrings. I was tempted to ask my friend to pay for them, and I would pay her back. But she helped me. My friend told me to put them back. It is good to have a friend to help. Because she was there I did not cheat. Overall this was a successful week. I hope to do good for the upcoming week. I decided not to visit any stores. Hopefully by staying away from shopping outlets I want have the urge to shop. I also decided if I do have to visit a store, to take a friend. Hopefully the more I say not to shopping the easier it will become. If I do well with the fashion detox, I will reward myself. I have decided to save my money for something I really want. After the detox is over I will purchase the item that I want. This has helped me by thinking of my reward. Ready for WEEK THREE!!

Fashion Detox

I have mixed emotions about the fashion detox assignment. I am sad about not being able to buy any clothing or accessory items for the next month, but I'm looking forward to saving myself a lot of MONEY!! I believe this is a good assignment because it allows you to see that maybe we buy more stuff than we actually need. I spend allot of unnecessary money. I believe this assignment will allow me to realize what is important and what is not. I do understand this will be a challenge. I have the daily desire to online shop, or sometimes pick up a shirt or two. But to be honest, most of my money goes to food. I kind of wish this was a fast food detox. I hope all the money I am saving from buying clothing, I don’t spend it all on food. As I stated before, I do hope to save a few dollars. I also hope to gain control on how to spend my money. I am a fashion lover, so it is really hard to say no to certain clothing items and accessories. Hopefully I am able to say that I conquered the fashion detox challenge. To help me with this assignment, I plan on staying away from the mall. I also plan on staying away from online fashion sites so that I want be tempted. If I do get the urge to shop, I decided to call my grandmother. She is always calling and reminding me to save money. I believe if I call her she will be able to stop me, and encourage me NOT spend. I also want to keep myself busy. Maybe if I stay busy I want have the urge to shop or purchase unnecessary items. BRING ON THE CHALLENGE

Self- Exploration
 
I would like to think of myself as outgoing, ambitious,  and a huge dreamer.  I love to explore, take on different challenges and create different goals and achieve them (of course).  I enjoy meeting and being around different people, and I am definitely a team player. I am a dependable person because I  know how it feels not  to have someone to depend on.  I believe its important to set a good example  and be the one people can talk and go  to about  any situation.  I'm good at decision-making but not so good at problem solving.  I think of a million ideas a day, which sometimes can be good and  sometimes bad.   I believe that I have great verbal skills because of my love of communicating and meeting new people.  I see myself in the future working for a fashion magazine and expanding my creative ability.  I also see myself getting involved with my community, which is something I greatly enjoy.  I asked a close friend what is her job like and does she enjoy  it?  She replied that she greatly enjoys her job, but she have her bad days.  Sometimes it gets really overwhelming and  get busy at times.
 My ideal job of course would to be working for an advertising agency, or anything job dealing with FASHION.  I would enjoy working for a fashion magazine or become a clothing buyer for a department store.  If  I take on any internships and gain as much experience as possible, I can possibly get the job I want straight out of college.  I would first like to work for a small fashion industry to gain experience and then climb the latter to work for a bigger corporation.  I would love to travel to different states and countries.  I would love to travel to California, New York, Texas, Washington, Paris, and China.  Salary of course is something to thing about.  Its important in any job that you chose to make a good source of income that includes benefits.  I would love to work with a variety of people, sharing common goals but may have different ideas.  I think I would enjoy working with a casual or a team atmosphere.  I believe in this environment I would be comfortable and it would allow me to perform well.  Although I have many plans and ideas, I'm always open to new things.  Life is not always how you want it to be and you do not always receive what you want BUT with great determination I truly believe I CAN achieve any goal.
