Yesterday, i wanted to shop for myself but didn't have money for it. I thought about how long it is that I haven't shopped for clothes, stuff like that. Last week, i did shop for myself but it was for school. But for personal stuff like clothes, accessories, bags, perfumes,etc/..i think mine was two months ago. Can you endure not shopping for yourself that long? When was the last time you shopped for yourself

it is just okey for me if i won't shop for myself for a month or two. i have lots of shoes, bags and clothes and there's no more need for me to shop really. but when i get to the mall and find something i am really interested in having, i buy it especially if i have money with me.
just yesterday, i bought a dress. i like it so much and so, i gave in to what my heart desires. i bought it for myself and i was really happy having it with me.

last friday! there was a sale at this departmental store nearby my office, and my colleagues and i went shopping. i wanted to get a white handbag and i saw an affordable white bag on sale, so i grabbed it :D ..i love to shop! but i think it's now time for me to resist the temptation to shop for a while..i'm so broke, need to start saving again..

I can't even tell you the last time I've shopped for myself. Mind you I have 3 children so I know that time is no time soon to even think about shopping for self. So I understand and know how it feel.

I'm very bad about buying things for myself. I am always so much happier buying things for other people. I bought myself some new earrings online on Friday night, but I also bought a pair for my fiance that he has been wanting for a while. We have just moved, so it's difficult to justify spending too much money on ourselves. These earrings will be a nice treat! :)

I usually just find something for myself by accident when I am shopping for someone else. I usually take myself out shopping on my birthday but I rarely spend a lot of money. I have too much fun shopping for my kids! It backfires on me though because then when I have somewhere to go, I realize I have nothing decent to wear. Maybe that is what I should use my myLot money for.

I cant evern remember when the last time I shopped for myself. Everytime I think about doing it I think about all the other things that should come first. I also have 6 year old twins and i try to keep them up so it is very hard to shop for myself.

I am pretty lucky in that I can shop for myself most anytime ( reasonably) but I haven't been doing it much lately. I have shopped for my daughter's birthday and husband's slacks and shirts and wedding gifts and donation clothing for a family that lost everything in a fire...but not for myself..I actually tried on some shoes the last time I was at the mall..but they didn't have my size and when I left I didn't think about them again until now..so I think the last thing I bought for myself was a lab coat for work!!!! How boring is that?..LOL..now you've done it...I may have to go shopping this afternoon...:)

I don't shop for myself very much because I always put everyone else in my family first. I should probably take more time for me, but when I go shopping for clothes I feel so overwhelmed that I often buy the wrong thing and end up returning it any way. This is a true sign that I really need to take more time for me more often.

oh.. i think it's like 3 - 4 months ago.. i'm keeping money now.. so i can shop for myself in the future.. i think money should be use in proper way.. buying fashionable stuff is not really suitable for me. .as it is costly and it won't give any benefit in the future.. what i want is financial freedom.. so i prefer to keep the money i used for shopping to do something better :P.. but i really love shopping..how bout you? i think you're the same right? don't mind me for typing so much =)

Its been awhile for me too. I dont have the money either. I usually go to walmart every sunday and buy cat food laundry detergent and things like that because its cheaper then the grocery store. And sometimes if I see a top I will get it there. But just to shop for myself and buy some new clothes would be great.

I last shopped for myself was last week, but does it still count even if my husband was with me while shopping? We shopped for outfits we need to wear to a wedding of our friend, I also got myself some hairstyling products and make-up. I'm not sure if I can last over 2 months without buying something for myself.

The last time I was able to shop for myself was earlier this day. I was able to shop for swim wears, tanning lotion, and sun dresses for my trip next week. I was hoping I could get to shop for clothes, bags and shoes but I quit my part time job so I don't think I will be able to do that this summer. I just have to wait for my weekly allowance and save up for it.
