I am consistently "shopping" online (not purchasing anything, but browsing) - probably every day. This helps me keep my urges down and I read a lot of reviews so I end up MOSTLY just buying
what I really want.
I can go months without shopping. Yes, months. I've got lots of layers and shoes so I just mix and match. No one will ever notice I haven't shopped in a while.
I either give it up for months or go on a crazy impulsive splurge for days at a time. I'm a psycho.
I have to really work at controlling myself. I just moved into my first apartment so i'm adjusting to paying more bills. BUT I have to get something....some socks or something!!
not as long as i need to, but as long as i have no money. i don't use my credit card for this. no way... so when i didn't have any money i'd go without for 4 months...
I can go months on end without doing any shopping for myself. I'm quite picky, and also love thrift and consignment shopping so sometimes I have to wait for what I want at a price I'm willing
to pay. If I had a huge disposable income the story would be quite different!
I shop everyday and I buy make purchases about 3-4 times a week on average for clothing related items. Sometimes more or less. Most of my money goes to shopping. I always have enough to pay
my bills, I work really hard so, why not??
I don't even know how long I can go without shopping. When I'm at school I usually only have time to go when I come home for breaks, which is maybe every 6 weeks. I used shopping to relax
during finals time though.. and almost failed the final I had right after that haha oh
well.
When I have time though, I probably shop on average once every other week.
hmmm...it all really depends on money and how i feel (yeah, i'm an emotional shopper, i admit it) and whether i'm actually around the shops at all. i just got an internship in center city, so
i know it's going to be much, much harder now to resist.
It depends on my stress level and what season it is. If I am super stressed at work, I find shopping to be cathartic for me. If it is the holiday season (especially Boxing Day/week), I have
to get out there!
as long as I need to; such as when I'm out of money or I need to save - but that doesn't happen often so I'm at the mall or online whenever I want something (man, that sounds really
spoiled)...
I get antsy if I'm stuck in the house all day. So if it were up to me I'd be shopping every day, usually I am. Today shopped for hours, yesterday I was sick, and the day before that I shopped
from 9 in the morning till 9:30 at night. Then I go home and shop online. Then I wonder where all my money goes.
i'm an 'other' right now given that i have NO money and it makes me really sad that i can't shop. if i could - i would probably be out scouting for my next best find but it would just be
torture to do that now.
Lately, I've only been able to contain myself for about a week. The real problem is my online surfing--once I see something I like, I obsess over it and usually end up buying it.

Rihanna bundled up for her appearance on The Late Show and looked perfectly chic while waving to her New York fans. She kept things simple in all black but mixed patterns and textures to create a unique look.

16Its really really tough to go 2 to 3 weeks...Shoes are the enemy!
17I NEED to take a couple of months off. I can go a couple of weeks then the urge starts to take over.
18About a month. I usually buy everything I want on one shot so I can sustain myself from shopping all the time.

24Are we including actual purchases, or browsing too? I can limit my actual purchases pretty well, but I'm constantly looking
255-15 minutes. MAX.
