Thinking of...Back to School

En: Ever since I was a child, every autumn meant getting new clothes for back to school. And although there were only a few places to shop in my town and I had a fairly limited budget (and had to consider what my mom would actually purchase and what she would refuse to get me), it was thrilling. It was the kind of thing I was looking forward to at the end of summer.
Now, if I go a month without buying something new I feel weird. And with the sales just ending (and me having bought more than I should have), I feel like I should be on a shopping ban for a few months (read weeks - no way I can go months without shopping). But how do I do that during september? With all the new stuff showing up? With all my cravings (including a tartan skirt, a slip dress and a pair of cut out boots I can't live without? Maybe I'll cross a few things off my list and then I can go on a shopping ban?!

Ro: Inca de pe vremea cand eram in scoala generala, fiecare toamna insemna haine noi pentru un nou inceput. Si chiar daca nu aveam decat vreo 3 magazine in orasul meu natal, un buget limitat (si trebuie sa tin cont de parerea neinduratoare a mamei), eram extrem de entuziasmata. Era lucrul pe care il asteptam cu nerabdare la sfarsitul fiecarei veri.
Acum, e o minune daca trece o luna fara sa imi cumpar ceva nou. Si cum reducerile tocmai s-au terminat (si portmoneul meu s-a golit chiar daca nu intentionam asta), cred ca ar fi cazul sa fac o pauza de la cumparaturi. Dar cum sa fac asta tocmai in luna septembrie cu toate noile colectii? Si cu lista mea interminabila de dorinte (mai sus am selectat doar cateva dintre ele)? Desi ma consum intre sentimentul de vinovatie (prea multe cumparaturi vara asta) si dorinta, cred ca ar trebui sa tai cate ceva de pe lista mea si doar apoi sa fac o pauza de la cumparat?!
