I've been thinking about this lately too. What do you buy when you spend?

I don't have any problems per se with money (in fact I'm quite good) but I get weird obsessions and currently I had a mini-obsession trying to find the perfect demin skirt, which is pretty bizarre considering that its -15C/5F outside and I won't be able to wear it until March (with tights, I think Americans call them 'pantyhose'?)

Anyway, somehow its to do with self esteem. I often feel that I'm never good enough or pretty enough or whatever and I think that at least if I have attractive clothes at least then I'll be sort of 'good enough'. I somehow can't explain it properly. Or if I'm wearing nice clothes I feel abit better about myself. But the thing is, I never judge other people on what they're wearing so I don't know why I care so much about 'looking nice' etc. I always feel slightly inadequate and somehow that makes me buy clothes that well I don't really need. Its never really an issue with money because I'm fairly modest but that money could be put to better use......well I dunno.

I hope I'm making sense!! Yeah somehow buying clothes I don't need is linked to self esteem, but I'm not really sure how or I can't explain it. Perhaps this could be whats driving your spending?

Kind regards

Meri
