Initially, I was actually really grateful for this shopping ban. My wallet definitely needed the break, and I loved being able to send promotional emails directly to my trash bin. The experience was indeed liberating.
Now though, I’ve begun to miss looking for shiny new things to add to my closet. I miss wearing cute new outfits. I miss figuring out how to mix and match new pieces into my existing wardrobe. Truth be told, I miss the thrill of the hunt.
Anyone else have the same feeling? And for those 30 for 30 remixers, how are you doing on your shopping ban?

Honestly, I'm to busy to even notice the ban right now. We will see how this weekend goes. As for this outfit, I love that sweater dress on you.
No Guilt Fashion
Wow, the sweater dress looks amazing! So snuggly and warm =D
I've been on a ban for a good month or two, I don't really feel it cause I've been overwhelmed with work. But since the season is coming, I'm not holding back!
I'm not feeling the shopping ban just yet, but I know I will before these 30 days are over. Last time some things I did was to bookmark things online that I liked (half of them were marked down by the time the challenge was over). Also you could window shop to get ideas for new 30for30 looks, or start your Christmas shopping early, buying gifts for others. Just an idea. – Katy
PS Love the heels!
It's not getting to me yet. I'm still feeling excited about the remixes I've got coming up with the 30 pieces I chose. Stay strong! 🙂 Just think about the thrill you'll always have when you look back at these posts and say, "I didn't need to buy anything new because I was able to pull together 30 looks with everything I bought before." That's what makes me feel like a smart shopper. 🙂
Kileen-I am not doing the challenge and what you just said is exactly why! I truly don't think I could/can go 30 days without buying clothing or accessories although my hubbie would be so excited. I think so far you outfits have been amazing and good luck with the no shopping thing!

Thanks everyone for all of your encouraging words!! You guys are helping me stay strong! 🙂
I am not doing this challenge because I know it's hard for me to say no to a cute item or two every once in a while. I couldn't do what you are doing but your outfits are amazing and I am sure every remix will result in something even more amazing than before! 🙂
I haven't been shopping, but that doesn't mean I don't want to! This is hard, but definitely good for us.
I think I like this dress the best on you so far! I want the belt! I must check out Express for their belts 🙂
@Really Petite thanks! it's a lot like the LOFT one but with long sleeves and some side ruching.
and Express belts run big!! i had to sew this on in on the back to make it smaller.
cute sweater dress…really like the color and the ruching on the side!
I LOVE your sweater dress…you and I both wore gray in our posts:)
I have to be honest…the ONLY reason I didnt do the 30×30 was because Im going to NYC in a few weeks…and no shopping? nahh….I dont think so, lol.

Gorgeous! This is such a perfect outfit Kileen! And so flattering on you 🙂 Where can you find this Planet Gold brand? I'm in need of some sweater dresses for the coming season!
I didnt do the challenge, because I know it will be hard for me, especially I just cleaned my closet couple months ago, I throw like 3/4 clothes, so I'm in a way of building my closet right now.
As per the outfit, I love it!! especially your heels

I feel your pain. Though (and I can't believe I'm even thinking this, let alone writing it) shopping hasn't given me the same high, so to speak, as it used to : so I guess the shopping ban hasn't been too terribly hard for me…but it's only been a few days.

@s Can you believe I found this dress at Macy's?!! There's still a very similar one that they're selling on their website too (haven't been in the store in awhile). It's very reasonably priced so definitely check it out! 🙂
I love this dress! So cute and cozy looking. I've been trying to avoid the mall since I've been spending wayyy too much money lately, and it is definitely hard. I had so many unworn things in my closet that I really need to do more shopping my closet!
I looooove sweater dresses. Super cute.
Love your outfit so much <3
Those LAMB booties you have on are FABULOUS! You are so rockin' it in that outfit 😉
The sweater dress looks awesome! I love the slight gathering on the sides!
I should look into this challenge…I am sure my husband would be all for it! :p However, I do not know if I have enough pieces to do it! It feels like I am still building a work wardrobe.
First of all, gorgeous gorgeous outfit! Your sweaterdress is so pretty and those heels are killer. And the shopping ban is totally killing me too! I know that I'm being a little ridiculous, because normally I go a lot more than four days between shopping trips and I'm fine. I think it's really just knowing that you don't have the liberty to stroll into a shop and do your thing that's getting to us!
P.S. Also, your dress reminded me that I really need to buy a sweaterdress soon. Then I remembered that I can't.

I so love turtleneck sweater dresses! I feel like the turtleneck instantly adds a luxe feeling and this dress looks fabulous on you!
Are you on a ban until a certain time (holidays, sales, etc.)? I know I SHOULD be on a ban but I can't seem to control myself during sales. Just today, I went back to gap.com to get another pair of skinny jeans ($17.50!) and wound up buying $100 worth of other stuff ARGH.
@SewPetiteGal wow, such a great deal on skinny jeans! sounds like you had an awesome trip! you should post your haul so i can shop vicariously through you. 🙂
I really love this sweater dress! It looks so cozy & cute! Thanks for your sweet comments, by the way! Much appreciated!
Your sweater dress looks AMAZING on you!! And hang in there! Only 26 more days to go! haha Yea, I've pretty much avoided going into stores so I won't be tempted.
I like how well you play with your belts!I love belting myself!
I was just telling my husband this the other day!!
