huge, large, BIG goal

File under the least practical purchase I’ve ever made (or is it?!  ) 

I love a good goal and I’m gearing up for one of the the biggest I’ve ever made. 

It may sound silly but, a life changing, challenging change I am planning for 2020 is... 🥁

I, Brooke Papp am going to give up shopping for one full calendar year   if you have known me for A N Y amount of time, you know this will be no small feat. I’ve loved fashion for as long as I can remember (except for that bout of wearing the same dress everyday when I was 6 🤷🏼‍♀️) 

But since then, I’ve created my own fashion magazines for school projects, in high school I would log what I wore every. single. day. just so there were no dupes too close together and I put myself through fashion school. I dream in clothing and shoes. 

But. 

I’ve come to the realization that over the past couple years, I have used purchasing clothes, shoes, jewelry as a bandaid for emotional stress and that’s not ok with me. I have some really great, gorgeous, timeless clothing and I want to go through 2020 discovering them, loving them and reimagining them. I want to fit into everything I fit into pre - infertility weight. I want to layer and be creative with what I have!  This little purchase was almost the catalyst. I don’t need this…is it cute? YES, Lé Duh. But, I don’t need it.

I want to discover the feelings I have throughout this process and see where the need for N E W comes from. You know? I also want to do this for my tiny little human. I feel so incredibly blessed since she came into this world - 2020 my focus is on her, not the latest blush booties I am coveting.

I hope to come out of this with an appreciation, once again for fashion, a healthier bod, and an understanding of my mid - 30’s style. It’s changed and I like where it’s going...

I’m pretty darn committed guys. 

SO! Who thinks I can do it and who thinks I’m off my rocker?!
