In an effort to stay on track and avert the pangs that I feel every time I receive an email notification of some crazy sale, clearance or closeout I have made an effort to unsubscribe to each an every email fitting that bill this week. I hadn’t reailized how many times a day I was bombarded with these messages to “Buy Now!”, but I know that as I receive fewer of these emails I am beginning to feel better already. Instead, I’ve subscribed to some refashion blogs and newsletters as well as some fashion/couture websites. This helps me to feel like I’m still in the loop, but forces me to think about how I can rework what I already have in my closet instead of rushing to buy something online. My favorite is the daily dose of fashion voyeurism that I get from “The Cut: New York Magazine’s Fashion Blog”. I still get my fill of fashion goodness and its almost as good as dark chocolate.

Elizabeth, I have been on the diet now since Sept. 1st. One of the first things I did was unsubscribe to all the e-mails that were getting sent to me (trust me I had a lot). I felt so cleansed when I hit the unsubscribe button on Anthropologie, Nordstrom, Alabama Chanin, etc., etc., no more for me! I think it’s a good idea to stay away from the bar if you want to stop drinking. S
I agree. I have done this as well. It’s amazing how little I think about buying clothing when it’s not put in front of me constantly.
since moving to a new address, i have had to do this with all the crazy catalogs that show up at my house from the previous resident. it is a tedious process, but definitely worth doing!
