Last time I was laid up after surgery, the computer made me buy 4 pair of shoes and a new cashmere coat. I had just found Sierratradingpost and that was the site of my CC damage.
Since I've gotten my iTouch, I've been downloading apps and music. I just made another purchase. I'm going to hate to see my AmEx bill this month. Probably not as much as my cashmere coat, but probably going to cost me more than what I expect.

I must stay out of stores....one benefit of working many hours.  |

What do you do with your really expensive clothes that you no longer wear?

In the past, I've sent them to consignment shops. When I left TX, I took a LOT of Ralph Lauren stuff in and was able to get some cash out of it and clear out my closet.

Stores aren't problems, computers are. You can buy anything online! I've even gotten to the point where it's preferable to order online rather than fight the mall traffic.
A couple years ago, I was looking for a dress to wear to a wedding. There was NOTHING available in the local stores, so I started ordering dresses in bulk online - 5-6 dresses/order. I bought 27 dresses, returned 26.

Many, many years ago I was that way about LandsEnd.
They send out waaaay too many catalogs.
I don't do malls.

mich--I love(!) sierratradingpost. I discovered it maybe 9 years ago, and I've done some damage  I got an awesome black wool jacket/coat from them for $100 (regular price was around $450), calf length--looked a little too miliary with the buttons though so I bought some new ones and my mom changed them out for me, just gorgeous and I always got compliments on it. I've been trying to stay away for the last year though since I've been determined to build. Once I'm in the decorating phase though, all bets are off. |

I got sucked into iTunes last week. After a frenzy of downloading, I've banned myself from it for awhile. Zappos is a weakness too. I just ordered a pair of shoes, and I'm desperately trying to resist the urge to order more.

what's more upsetting is when you're surrounded (like me) by people that get their music and videos for FREE!!
I know how and what sites they go to BUT - I don't wanna?
but at the same time I don't wanna keep pay'n?
