NO more buying Accessories!

Just like toiliteries, I am an accessory addict! I lose all self control when it comes to Shoes, Bags, Scarfs, Jewellery!

Feel free to join as I pledge not to buy anymore accessories till I've either sold my current ones or they break!

Wish me luck x

    I would join this, but one of my resolutions is to stop looking like a scruff bag :D:o

    Good luck x

    It's an online thing, used to do it quite a lot but it's more of a hobby now. I don't think I can post a link but google pinkplectrum jewellery and I should be there. :)
