Shopping is an actual addiction and yes, I do have a problem. I love online shopping, store shopping, window shopping and about any other kind of shopping I can do. Shopping is my outlet despite my tight summer budget. If you have or still do love shopping you can most likely relate to the following things:

1. Finding any excuse to shop:

Shopping is my outlet. I can do it day and night. If my black clothes are not exactly the right shade of black... better go to the mall and find the matching shade. Shopping always makes any day better, especially when you find the perfect clothes.

2. Sales

Finding the perfect sale makes you feel blessed. Getting 5 shirts for the price of 2 is a shopaholics dream. It feeds the very real addiction. Sales are great, but let's be honest, I was going to buy that shirt whether it was on sale or not.

3. Brands

Do I have to say much more? Brands are a girls best friend.

4. Some people scroll on social media and some scroll through online stores

Friends bonding over shopping create the strongest friendships. Sharing tips, opinions, and even picking out clothes for one another creates a bond like no other. Some friends like to go clubbing, to the bar, or out to eat. Other's like to spend their Friday nights shopping.

6. Did I even buy that?

Your closet is full of clothes upon clothes. There's a point when you can't even remember if you bought that or not. When tags are still hanging from your clothes, you may have a real problem.

7. Paycheck never actually reaches the bank

The struggle of trying to spend your paycheck on actual bills instead of shopping is real. I may know that I need to start saving or investing my money, but shopping is an investment I can wear now.

8. It makes me happy

Shopping makes me happy. Finding the perfect outfit is a thrill I seek and is one of the best feelings. I always enjoy shopping and I honestly love it. After all, life is too short to do things you love, even if it is an addiction.
