Does anyone get shopper's guilt?

I bought a few expensive items of clothing...and whenever I DO this, the next day I always say, 'is it really worth $$$$, or should I return it'...
'for the $$ I spent, will I wear it enough?'

I do this A LOT!!! Am I the only one?

Nope I do it too!
But a lot of time my guilt overcomes me and I return something...unless I 'accidentally' pull the tag off!

I do that all the time. I have to evaluate how much it costs by how often I will wear it...not to mention if I can find it somewhere else cheaper and who's paying for it, lol.

My mom bought me some clothes recently and that I wouldn't have bought myself because of the cost...but I'm really glad she did!! And even then she was offering to buy this really funky dress that we both loved, but I knew I'd probably wear only once so I wouldn't let her do it.

My practical side usually kicks in whenever I'm about to splurge on something ridiculous.

I find myself always rationalizing all my purchases. I just went on a shopping spree last Friday and I am trying to find ways to scrimp on other things now.

I'm so bad that I won't even buy anything!! I went out looking for new sneakers last week. I saw a few I liked took one look at the price tag & said 'no thanks' My husband thinks I'm nuts!

You are not alone, I have shopper's guilt too.

My husband thinks I'm nuts to buy the stuff to begin with! But he keeps a smile on his face and just has this dazed look about him when we go shopping together, especially when the final bill comes up!
