I did not buy anything in this Thanksgiving!

Yeap yeap yeap yeap!

When everything is on sale and the internet is flooded with those beautiful leather bags and wool coat pictures, I choose to not buy anything.

This has been the first year of my serious commitment to not shopping, and so far it goes pretty well.  One major .contribution is from my boyfriend. His constant presence took a lot of time off internet and spend more time, walking outside or attending all the events.

Another important fact is that I already have way more than I needed. Adding basic T shirts or skirts, I have plenty of choices to make new outfits.

The last but not least important, is that I am becoming more focusing on myself, my real feelings, instead of my image.  The main marketing strategy is to capitalize people’s  worry about their personal image.  We are very much concerned way more about what others think of us, rather than simple what we really feel.  If you think deep about this, it is quite ironical.

We work very hard, waste our time in commute  and tolerate all the coworkers we don’t like, just to buy stuff to impress people we never know.

Thus, I am quitting all those. I feel much free and comfortable. Hopefully, I can continue this trend for the rest of my life.
