10 Signs You’re A Shopaholic

Shopaholics unite! Below are just a few signs that your part of this stylish shopaholic cult:

1. You dream about clothes you want, but did not yet buy.

You have been eyeing those Adidas Stan Smiths for about a month, when your hear a knock on the door and see the sneakers right in front of you. Your eyes light up and you couldn’t be happier…until you hear a loud beeping noise. You wake up to your beeping alarm and realize you were dreaming. Then you speed to the mall to buy those Stan Smiths.

2. When you go to the mall, you always have a game plan.

It doesn’t matter who you’re with, but you make it a point to mentally list your top 5 stores and make sure to drag whatever poor soul your with to every store. They should expect to be in each store for at least an hour.

3. You enjoy going to the mall by yourself.

Although going to the mall alone can seem boring, you can appreciate it because you don’t have someone nagging you to hurry up,to eat , or to use the bathroom. Eating, sleeping, and bodily functions come after your shopping cardio is over.

4. You have multiple pieces of clothing that resemble each other.

Whether its’ that 5th pair of black booties or 10th white v-neck you bought, they are all different and unique to you. Even if everyone says they all look the same.

5. Shopping is your cardio.

Your feet are blistered, your arms hurt from holding so many hangers, but you must persist because there is still one more sale to go to. Also, you have definitely thought about buying that graphic tee that says ” shopping is my cardio”, because it speaks volumes to you. Then you realized graphic tees are so last season.

6. Your wallet is always upset at you.

Checking your bank account is always painful, but that shiny green bomber jacket was so worth being broke for two weeks.

7. Even if you didn’t plan to buy something, you find an excuse to buy it.

Whether you buy kombucha at Whole Foods because you’re for sure going on a diet this week, or you need those gel pens from Staples because they will make you study harder, you will walk out of any store with at least one item.

8. You’re never an outfit repeater.

You fear the day that someone ever says this to your face, so you make sure that you shop for every occasion. And you’ll make sure that every Instagram you post is of you in your newly bought outfit.

9. Online shopping is your enemy when you’re studying.

You’re on Sparknotes studying for a test on a book you never read when those damn cookies on your computer pull up an ad of a purse you’ve been eyeing for weeks. The temptation is getting to you, so you click on the ad and go down a four hour spiral of buying clothes and accessories you didn’t even need (but in your mind it was still worth it.)

10. Newbury Street is your go-to ( specifically for shopaholics in Boston.)

Did I just see a Tiffany’s, Lululemon and Madewell on the same strip ?! Basically a shopaholics dream, but beware, you may be bankrupt if you dare to stroll down this street. (You still do it though because your a shopaholic and can’t deal.)
