I am a bit of a... well, what's the right word... stingy? frugal? money-conscious? Something like that... I like to shop at Value Village because I can get gently used jeans for under $10. I wear my clothes until they basically fall apart... I don't like to lay down a lot of $$$ for clothes. It seems like a waste of time and money to me!! But then, there are times where I do feel like I need to buy something new...
So, I bought a zip-up cardigan sweater... It can replace the old, worn out pullover that I've been wearing on top of my t-shirts. I bought a new pair of winter boots. My old Sorel boots are worn to the point of ridiculousness. My hi-tec style boots aren't warm enough. So, I bit the bullet and bought a real pair of winter boots. Here's hoping that they last a while! And then I noticed that my hi-tec boots are actually quite worn out as well... So, in the spring, it'll be time for a new pair of those!! Sigh... It seems like I need to buy new everythings all at the same time... New underwear was last week... New toques were a couple of weeks before that!
The thing for me to remember is... now that I have new things, I can let some of the old things go!! It's time for that... time to let go of the old in order to make room for the new... It might not be spring... but spring-cleaning is appropriate anytime!
