The End (or the Beginning?)


Today marks the official end of the year-long hiatus from clothes/accessory shopping!

It's Black Friday in the US, the notorious biggest shopping day of the year and it represented the appropriate day to begin a deliberate decision not to shop for a year. While it also may represent the appropriate day to end the hiatus (everything is on sale), who wants to deal with the crowds and the stress? So no, I won't be going out shopping today.

Actually, today, I am on holiday in the sun and sand and surf, nowhere near a store or shopping mall. So while my year is over, my examination continues (at least through next month and presumably the purchase of a pair of running shoes and ski glove liners, since I never figured out whether "athletic equipment" constituted clothing or accessories).

Let this be the beginning of more conscious shopping!
