Click - I get it now!

I suddenly feel like my attitude has changed towards money - wooo hoooo!

I had an interview last week and was all set to go and buy a new top. Then I thought to myself "well, they haven't seen any of your clothes so won't know you haven't got something new" plus - I actually no longer care so much what people think - are they actually going to think more of me if I have a new top/bag/shoes or whatever - no!

So, that's all I have to say really - I feel like a weight has been lifted from me! I know its a very minor thing but I believe it's all about attitude.

Just thought I would share!

p.s. Im still waiting to hear if I got the job - in the meantime, I will keep looking - I will not give up!

    every so often I go through my wardrobe/shoe collection. They say you only use 10% of the clothes u have. I partially did it yesterday. Its fab reminds me of stuff I haven't worn for ages and gather some outfits together. Its almost like having new clothes!
