Making it through the holidays on shopping hiatus wasn't too bad. Being out of the country helped somewhat, but no one really buys me clothes for gifts anyway; I'm usually left to my own devices there. Of course panic hit my friend V after hearing about my travel plans ("What happens if you find something handmade in some little town that you'll never find anywhere else and it is perfect for you?"). V also worried about me missing the sample sales ("Theory. Need I say more?"), but I assured her that I wouldn't be looking for any handmade items for myself and my Theory belt (bought at Loehman's of course) would meet my Theory needs for the year.
In discussing the blog and shopping with M, another woman, I discovered that there are women who don't head immediately to the sales racks and sample sales. But these women are no more healthy than the rest of us - they won't deny themselves the luxury of paying full price if they really want something (although admittedly, they do like a bargain and will embrace one should it come their way), but these women like frugal men and encourage spending on themselves only. But that's another blog.

No, making it through the holidays without shopping for clothes is easy - it's the January sales that challenge you.
