Every girl (or guy, because we're living in the 21st century) has her poison - clothes, bags, make-up, or even specifics like a certain shade of lipstick. But no matter the vice, these are a well of emotions that will resonate with every self-respecting shopaholic:
1. When the amount flashed on the register is lower than the amount on the price tag
That's when you flash a smile brighter than all the lights in the shop combined. #winning
2. When you accidentally make the tiniest dent in your new make-up product
*Internal screaming and mental slaps*
3. The quickening of your heart when you set your eyes on "the one"
And the first time you hold it against your body. Almost obscene, really.
4. Subsequently, trying out "the one" and finding out that it really fits you like a dream, whether in skin tone or figure
Because THE dress > Prince Charming
5. When the store doesn't allow card payments and you don't have enough cash on hand
But the hassle of locating and queueing at an ATM will not defeat you, because you are strong woman (or man) who gets what she wants.
6. When you get a discount because your friend bought something with you
This is how you tell who your true friends are and weed out the insincere ones. #lifehack
7. Succumbing to an impulse buy and hating yourself afterwards
Especially when you know its resale value is shit on Carousell.
8. Sailing out of the shop with your shopping bags
Nothing screams victory like the smell of new purchases in all its prettily packaged, consumerist glory.
9. Wearing your new item out for the first time
Stepping out of the house with an extra spring in your step because your latest purchase makes you feel like a whole new person.
10. Seeing your purchase getting well-worn and sadly acknowledging you will have to move on soon
Even when they're not that exactly worn out....
