My No Buy Year - January 2019
MONTH ONE DONE ✓ ✓ ✓ Why have I decided to embark on a "no buy 2019"? That's probably the first thing to talk about before I go on to say how I have found the first month. I have never really given any thought to the things I want and buy. If I see something I like, I want it... I need it in my life, right there and then. Whether I can afford it or not doesn't come into the equation. Towards the end of last year (2018) I started to change the way I looked at things. I took a break from Instagram, which I was finding incredibly toxic and it was the best thing I could have done. I was finding myself getting caught up in people's daily posts of new outfits and purchases and try as I might, I couldn't help feeling quite jealous that these people could afford to keep going out every day buying new clothes all the time. I then read that actually, some people just order or buy a load of clothes, take photos for the 'gram and then return them.
