so… i have placed an embargo on myself. i have a small shopping problem…. meaning… i buy lots of inexpensive things… clothes, shoes, jewelry… all the time. like, weekly. maybe even almost daily sometimes. i love my thrift stores, and also have a part time job that helps me get super awesome clothes and jewelry [...]
