Are You A Situation Shopper?

Alright so this post is totally random. I don't know how many people will relate to it, but I honestly know too many people that actually fit a profile of a situation shopper.
Okay so first lets go over some of the characteristics.. OR "symptoms" of being a situation shopper.

                                                 

1. You never end up liking anything you buy after wearing it a few times or maybe right after purchasing it.
2. Everything/Anything you buy is what you WANT and not what you NEED.
3.  Regardless of having something to wear for a certain event, you decide to go buy something for it, & never end up wearing that to the event.
             OR
You wear that to the event & then never wanna touch it again.
4. While shopping, using the excuse "I might need it" or "It might go with something".
5. Purchasing things just because you have nothing better to spend it on (There's no such thing as saving in your world!)

If you thing you fit into even just 2 of these 5 symptoms, guess what my friend YOU'RE A SITUATION SHOPPER!

                                             

Sorry for the caps haha, I had to make it sound dramatic.
Just for the info the term "situation shopper" was indeed made by my lovely, sweet, awesome manager to describe some of us that worked under her. As I do work at a retail, being classified under this term was very common. And i'm glad to say I've overcome this ..or I think I have.
Anyways! not worrying about me right now, I wanted to share just a few experiences I've had myself and some that happened to a few people I know (not naming any names) which ended up giving us the title of a being a situation shopper!

Since I don't want to name any names, so in all the events I share with you the main character (the situation shopper) will be named Alina!

1. I remember once my co worker told me about the one day she had off, she decided to go out and spend some time out with her bf. And as they're out, trying to figure out where to go, they end up going to the beach. Now that Alina was at the beach, she realized the clothes she was wearing weren't really "beach appropriate". So instead of going home like a normal person, Alina decides to go to a store and just buy a new dress she can change into!
 *If you guys think that was the right thing to do, you're a situation shopper* 

2. One day Alina shows for work wearing work appropriate clothes & let me add, looking very pretty. 10 minutes in, she decides that she doesn't like what she showed up for work in, & buys a whole new outfit to wear that same day.
*If you think that was the right thing to do, you're a situation shopper*

3. This one time, I saw this gorgeous white blazer at work, (I'm a sucker for blazers) & decided to buy it just because. While purchasing it, my manager asked me why i'm getting it. I replied saying that I NEEDED a white blazer (when I had 3 different ones already!!) & my manager corrected me saying, "You mean you WANTED a white blazer?" It actually made me think... but I still ended up buying it.
 *If you think that was the right thing to do, you're a situation shopper*


I think I got my point across with these scenarios right? If you or anyone you know had the symptoms above, welcome to the group! No i'm kidding.. it's bad. Stop spending all your money!
