I hate this place

oaw01 · Mar 24, 2009

I'm spending way too much since I discovered styleforum two months ago.

2 RLBL suits
2 RLBL shoes
1 RLBL Blazer

Buying crap from gilt - trovota and Boo stuff
Buying crap from PSA announcements
Calling woodbury looking for RLBL gear

****, I just order these today because I want to try the antiquing the SF people have done to their tan shoes. In addition, I found these because of some thread on here.

How do you guys break the habit of buying ****.

edit: I forgot to add
1 Hugo Boss - altered, unworn and unwanted
1 Hickey Style - unaltered in bag
1 M Valentino - unaltered in bag

Walk around a non-clothing store (e.g., Best Buy) and think of all of the nice stuff you could have bought instead.

Hmmm.. I started buying **** as a justification for losing a **** load of money in the market. The logic is I might as well spend it if I'm losing it.

Nope, they're ******* dry. The have two cord blazers 38s and some velvet gay ass pants in 30. They had some nice pleated RLPL super fine wool pants in 30 for $120 - I backed off because it's pleated.

I've way to many laptops. I do need a new flat screen and digicam.

In addition, I'm waiting for the friends and family discount at RL so I can get

the blazer

and a pair of gray RLBL pants.

This RLBL is addicting. I need to get fat so I won't waste time and money in looking for fitted clothing.

Take a look at how terrible SF'ers look in the WAYWT threads and that'll break your habit instantly.

I'd say about 40% of my stuff looks decent on me. I'm slowly trashing out my unfitted stuff.

+1 - Ever since I've joined this forum...all I've done was spend, spend, spend, and it hasn't stopped yet!

Although, I must comment that I'm (hopefully) more satorially educated now - kinds of reminds me of Mr.Moo's post re: Satorial Evolution

No. Every time I see a certain Buy-it-now suit on ebay in exactly my size, I think to myself, do I really want to buy that and pay another $100 in alterations when I already have seven suits in my wardrobe? Or do I want a new LCD TV instead?

I forgot about the alterations - it cost a min of $100 to tailor my ****. Damn...

Could you try to eschew the profanity in favor of some nouns and adjectives when you post.
