I must say, Ross is my favorite store. At least once a week I browse the Alhambra store which carries the more high end merchandise. Usually I find a steal or two per visit. Today while making a return, I thought it would be kosher to use store credit… I browsed the aisles finding cute sweater dresses, frilly Valentine’s Day lingerie (even though I have a new red nightie stashed in the closet still with tags), and striped bikinis. Then I remembered my pledge to the diet and confidently left the store with one bag less- I’ll save the credit for fall. It has been less than 24 hours on the Great American Apparel Diet and already I feel empowered with the will to end my exploits as a shopaholic, focus on what I need (as opposed to what I like or want), and most importantly save the time, energy, space, and money that are running so low these days. Good luck to all who are on the diet!
Welcome aboard, Amanda… and congratulations on your successful “non-shopping” exploits… Here’s to 8 more successful months for all of us!
