Webster's definition of a "shopaholic" is one who is extremely or excessively fond of shopping. According to the famous author of shopaholic series books, Sophie Kinsella, "shopaholic" buys things on impulse without knowing the need of something as long as it's on sale.
Not that I'm proud of it, but I think I can be identified as shopaholic too in some ways. I do love to shop but only on "sale season". I love going to the mall and checking out new things without buying everything that I see but I couldn't go home without carrying anything. I have to at least carry something that is new. I do buy things that I'm not sure if it's something that I can use just because it's on sale. I have tons of clothes and shoes that I seldom wear and there were pieces that I think I've only worn once or twice. I'm into buying designer stuff with exorbitant prices but i usually drool on bags only. I never thought of buying a thousand dollar worth of dress or blouse that I can't wear everyday. I'm into bags. Because bags lasts longer and you can use them everyday and wouldn't worry on pairing them on anything you wear. For me, it's an investment. But I'm not that rich to own hundreds of them. I own two and buying another one wouldn't hurt. And this is something I don't buy on impulse *i think*. When there's a book sale, huge amount goes into it rather than buying clothes.
I guess, my being a shopaholic is something I have to put rein on. It may not be that worst as others but me thinks it's time to change that spending habit especially on season sale. =D
