Photography: My own.
'OCS' Symptoms include; Constantly hunting for bargains, Relying on whatever form of income for THAT Top, Risking you're life in horrendous weather conditions, 'borrowing' endless amounts of money off family relatives you know you can't payback until you've reached you're mid 40's, getting high on an adrenaline rush when you find that perfect top, in your size...on Sale.
The following drawbacks include; Wardrobe's collapsing under strain, 'Balance Available' equaling Zero, finding another top and style in your size you didn't see before, loosing track of your purchases, wanting more then you need and never saying NO to Value retail brands i.e. Primark.
After today I have diagnosed myself with this. So over the winter I took advantage of the Boxing sales (as blogged) but since then, I haven't stopped. So as you can see from the following images I decided on a little change in outfits. When shopping with The Boy last week I saw a Jack Daniels top and had to have one! So the next day I hopped down to Afflecks and bought this one for £15! its actually a lot longer...Next are these denim shorts I found in Miss Selfridge, thanks to my £5 off voucher and student discount, I got them from £30 to £22. Cant complain. Next is the black blouse from Primark for £6, seen all over the high street lately. Finally, the new 'night out' outfit; Below is the navy blue sequin top (£25) and black trousers (£15) both from H&M. I figured its a treat after doing well in an assignment....
To top it off, above are a few pieces of jewellery I've gotten recently, including the scrabble ring my room-mate Daisy bought me for Chirstmas. Also, is it odd that up until I got this ring I established 3 was my number?
So as for my OCS, when my bank account runs dry i'll go cold turkey. Promise.
