Thanks for sharing. Your situation is so common. How I wish I could help all women to love how clothing looks on their bodies!! 💘

@@KristenCainStyleThat is an interesting pivot. I find it necessary to like how clothes look on my body-it is not enough to love/like the item. Fortunately my body is not difficult to dress and I am happy with it, meno-belly and all. It is the hunt for the ‘perfect’ trouser/skirt/dress/shoe- sometimes I think I have found it then actually wearing the item disappoints me in terms of how it moves on my body or how the fabric wears. When it all comes together though, the joy is enormous. That feeling has me looking for something else! Trigger buys which I know I do not need or will not serve me are often returned. If I get something home and I can see early on it will not work, I return it. If I miss the return date and the item is new I sell it. If I can send the item to good will I do that. I do think I have a lot of clothes, and too many summer clothes given the climate where I live. Thanks for this food for thought.

I have the same problem. Nobody would say I was fat, but my waist is 33 and my hips are about 35 or 36. My chest is 38 because of having a broad back and shoulders. And I’m 5’ 4”. What looks most flattering on me are baggy pants and slim tops. I’ve bought a bunch of Tibi stuff, but I’m 75 and feel like I’m trying to be hip. I just feel ridiculous when I wear what I like.

Thank you! The steps are listed in the video, and usually determined on the fly while filming. ;-) I don't usually list the steps in the description as I'm a one-woman show and need to keep content creation as simple as possible. 💕

Thank you for letting me know. My website provider made some changes and the link needed to be updated. I've fixed it now! I appreciate you.

Unfortunately, we can't really change others. You can model a different way in your own home and closet, but her journey is hers. Have you asked her why she buys so much? Usually there's an underlying reason for excess consumption. Likely, there are limiting beliefs or past traumas that shopping eases for her. I'm sure it's hard to watch and not be able to help.

I'd sit with that for a bit. Really feel into why you shop. If there are truly no triggers and it's just a fun, harmless (not spending too much, no packed/overwhelming closet, no buyer's remorse) hobby...then you can feel great shopping whenever you get that urge. If on the other hand, you do feel anything less than wonderful about your shopping habits, dig a little deeper and try to identify any clues about the behavior. Do you get the urge after a tough day? Or a difficult conversation? Do you shop when you should be doing something else that you're avoiding? That kind of thing. There is nothing wrong with shopping... unless it doesn't feel good to you. 💖

I agree, for the most part. And I've worked with lots of women who do well to reward themselves with an intention purchase.
