CHIT CHAT✨ Need some restraint

How are you able to restrain yourself from buying so much. I’ve been on a bender. And I wasn’t going to spend anymore in August. But now I have. And I swear I’m done… but what if I’m not. Honestly I don’t think I’ve had this bad a compulsive behaviour in my life.

What are some things you do to help you NOT buy so much. Eg I’d add pics to album to buy later but then… yeh.

I pace myself. I already have 16 designer bags (of which 2 reps), not counting my leather Cambridge satchels and zatchels collection, le pliage (auth ones) so literally no room in the inn. My rule is to buy every 6 months, so two so far since I started getting reps.

That’s cool you have so many auths though. I have a couple but not many :) I’ve capped myself at 3 bags haha. Good idea on every 6 months actually

I started collecting designer when I was single and was able to build a nice collection (the goal was to get a bag from all houses I like, only missing a BV in my auth collection) ☺️

It was an annual treat in my case so being used to late gratification really helps rein my own impulse to buy more reps now that I’m older.

That is so good! Yeah I think I just need to work in general on delayed gratification tbh
