No to consumerism

Here's something different this week. Nothing about movies or tv shows, even though I've been watching more movies lately (just check my letterboxd for quick reviews). 

I have this idea in my mind of saying no to consumerism for years. But it's something I was never able to do. I'm not the biggest shopaholic out there, not even close. I don't think I am even one, but when it comes down to it I don't like the fact that when I see a new piece of clothing I think: "I need that". I don't need it, I just want it. I'm completely fine living without it. I have way more clothes than I need. I don't need more just because there are new trends out there. 

I like fashion, I do, I like being trendy. Mixing trends and giving the look "I don't care what you think of me, but I actually do, I know I look awesome". (Yeah that's how my mind thinks, no wonder I don't have any friends) And this isn't just with clothes, it's with shoes, make-up, accessories. And I wan't to stop it. I don't want to live through the stuff I own.

So my commitment is for 2 months I can't buy anything (other than food and necessities). 2 months seems like a short time, but summer is coming, and I've been eye shopping like crazy, so it will be interesting if I can make it until the end of the school year without giving in and buying any stuff. If it goes well I hope I can continue it.
