Shopaholic Confession and Admittance

I have been going through all of the orders that I did at StyleMax and I have one conclusion... I am a shopaholic!! Yes Mom I am admitting it!! I have an obsession with anything that has to do with fashion and spending the green!! I come up with excuses to run to the stores and see if there is anything that I "have to have".

But I do have to give myself credit. I have been using my shopaholic tendencies for the store. So all of my clients get to benefit from my condition. I guess in turn I am turning them into shopaholics as well but hey, I don't want to be sitting in meetings by myself!! And we will all look fantastic as we sit there admitting to all of the things that we have purchased in the last week when we fell of the wagon!! Or maybe we will just skip the meeting all together and go shopping instead!!

I do have to say that this all started when my mother decided I needed to do all of her shopping since she liked my style so much. This came about by her shrinking all of my clothes so that they would fit her and I HAD to go out and purchase new ones. So my addiction is soley based on my mother not wanting to shop for herself!! But the good thing is I have an entire closet (okay 3) with fantastic apparel!! Thinking about it though, if I didn't have this vise I probably would have a hard time filling the store with great stuff for all of you to purchase.

The key to this condition is spacing yourself out. I don't consistantly buy clothes. You have to spread it out just a little bit. I may buy household items, shoes, cosmetics or scrapbooking stuff instead of clothes. All of this does soothe my need for spending. Retail Therapy really does work!!

Stylemax is the best place for those of us who have a shopping disorder and own a store!! Just picture 5 football fields long floor just filled with hundreds of vendors who sell thousands of lines for you to fill your stores!! A girl could get lost there and let me tell you I do!! You see all of the spring, summer and fall lines that will be hitting shelves in the next few months and just shop away!! But one of the best places on that floor is the Cash and Carry aisle!! Chicago being just 5 hours away does make for a great road trip so that way I have the entire trunk of my car to fill up with accessories for the store!!! You feel great being able to purchase something and actually get to take it home with you!! That is the rush for me.. Having that bag in my hand and being able to show everybody what I got!!

So if you see me out and about with bags in my hands just know I am keeping up to date on styles, getting things for the store or just having a little retail therapy!! Just nod your head hello and keep going. I will see you in that meeting soon enough!! We will hold it in the store and do some shopping afterward!!
