The real trick for me is to not add more. Metscan pointed out some time ago that if I don't go in the store, I won't be tempted. This has worked up to a point. I went into my favourite consignment shop to pick up some cash from my fall clearout and ended up purchasing one item. I never know for sure ahead of time, but I think it will be worn a lot. So an exception was made, even though I left the store first without it but went back for it!
A cotton tunic top with pintuck detail, brand Y29, too light weight to wear now, more of a spring item.
I have lots more desires. I was tempted by the Eric Bomben cashmere sweater sale, but I have lots of sweaters already. I want a Hermes scarf , but I have a whole drawer full of scarves, mostly silk squares, that are enough. I have one new pair of pants that have been waiting to be hemmed for weeks. Somehow I've managed with the others I have already, without feeling too deprived. Don't even get me started on yarn; I've got tons of yarn of all weights and colours but somehow I feel the need to order Schopple Wolle Zauberball Lace for a pair of socks. What I have isn't quite right, must purchase another colour/weight/size/style. It is endless! The lure of the new, the latest (passing) want.
I am resisting all of these duly noted desires for now. The cultivation of Enough feels better. Not necessarily less, just content with the current amount.
