I do like shopping, especially thrift shopping. But in several areas of my life, my male wardrobe, the equipment for my work, and indeed my crossdressing garb...I am well stocked and really do not need anything new. Thrift shopping is an adventure and when you do buy something, new or not, it's a bargain, but that's the key for me.
Here's the mantra: It's not a bargain if you truly don't need it or can't fix it.
I come from a family of kleptomaniacs so now it is a point of pride when I turn down something which doesn't fit the mantra.
So yesterday at Value Village turning away from those perfect size 11W three inch platforms with the red soles.....
VICTORY!
Of course I tried them on with a few turns in the dressing room!
