I had been an unhappy shopaholic until a few years back. Not because I felt guilty about shopping but because I made some impulsive purchases of things that didn't suit me at all; I made some redundant purchases of things that I already owned; I made some sub-standard purchases of things that were on sale; I made some peer-pressured, in-trend purchases of things that made me feel included. In the end, I was unhappy sitting amidst the moutainous pile of things that I didn't enjoy; things that didn't make me feel good; things I didn't care about.
Not anymore.. I am a truly happy shopaholic these days. And, this blog is about the transformation. On how I moved to that happy place :).
Please join me as I share my shopping stories on how I fill my wardrobe these days only with the things I truly like and thoroughly enjoy. Maybe some of my experiences will help you in creating your own treasurable wardrobe :)

About me..
I am a shopaholic. This is no revelation as I have been this way for many years. My obsession with shopping is as natural to me as my femininity. It is just there in my system always :)
I think about fabrics, patterns, mixing and matching pieces, sales, stores and deals a lot of times during my day. I have a separate email id just for online shopping, store alerts and deals. It is this account that I check first every morning. If you are a shopaholic like me you are probably nodding or smiling at your monitor by now :)
I walk straight to my computer in the morning and look for the latest additions to my favorite stores, JCrew being my latest addiction. I wish I had been hooked onto JCrew much earlier but better late than never.
Some people may consider this obsession shallow - I don't want to argue with them because I know I will be thinking about polyvore sets instead of counter-arguements to whatever they are saying. I haven't looked at this addiction philosophically because I am busy trying to add the perfect item to my shopping cart. This is who I am in this lifetime and I am happy this way. People seek happiness as the end and each has his/her own means for that end goal. My means happens to be shopping all the way to glory :)
