In case you’re wondering, yes I do still try my best to live with less. So have I been hiding under a rock and forgo shopping altogether? Of course not, who are you kidding? :D. Like I said, living with less doesn’t mean that we don’t buy new things. But we buy less things that we used to, and for every time we buy new things, there are usually old things that we get rid of. In my case, I have been buying four pairs of shoes in total for this year, but I have gotten rid of 10 pairs. The new ones are more calculatedly purchased. Definitely not an impulse buy, and was based on building a working shoe collection.
Anyway, I had three overseas trips for this year and I’m trying to apply the same thing when I travel. When we’re in a different country, it’s so easy to go crazy and buy every cute things we see because we don’t think we will have the same opportunity again. So here’s what I’ve tried so far to have more control over my spending habit during traveling period.
Looks like someone has been shopping around in Duomo 😀 (old picture)
