Well, no. Not really.
I'd like to think that I've done less shopping over the last year, and I definitely go shopping less frequently, I'd say. But after months of abstinence, I usually make up for it in a day. Retail therapy does work for me!
Fortunately, the sales are still on. I got three dresses and two tops (same top, different colour...) for less than £35 at Bershka and five dresses for £55 over ebay from factory-outlet-clothing. The latter is based in China, but ships from the UK, which meant that my order arrived within a couple of days. Admittedly, the quality isn't fantastic - some of the inside seams remind me of my own sewing to be honest... But I think they look nice anyway (or maybe I just look cheap anyway...). They'd look better if I lost a few kgs, too, so let's hope that acts as a further motivation to actually do something about that.
And for that purpose, I also bought a swimsuit, as recent experience taught me that my bikini isn't made for swimming. There are a couple of pools near work which I am planning on trying (I wonder whether P has brainwashed me with all his talk about swim training).
