Is Shopping Detox the New Trend? Discover the Bold Attempt to Survive Without Retail Therapy!

Ever wondered why someone would suddenly ban themselves from shopping? Is it to save the earth, make mom and dad proud, or just because they blew up their budget in December? Or could it be all of the above and more? Buckle up!

Can you survive without new clothes? Brace yourself, because this isn't the shopping ban of the century. Most Gen Z fashion mag workers aren't actually bleeding money over fashion. It’s the guilty pleasure of endless food deliveries that digs into the wallet. Online or in stores, the occasional shopping spree happens... but why stop now?

I’ve got to confess: I’m addicted to buying earrings, especially the tempting jhumkas in Mumbai locals. It’s all about those pesky impulse buys, like shiny jewelry calling my name during a commuter's trance. What's the grand plan to defeat this insidious spending habit?

First, those shopping apps? Gone! No flashy distractions here. Next, avoid those mega-malls at all costs! Ever tried shopping blindfolded? Might just need it to resist a shopping spree with the boyfriend. Lastly, the hawker earrings—I'll look, but won't buy. Ice-cream rewards, anyone?

But here's a twist! I'm going to a Coldplay concert—yes, with tickets for 26 Jan in Ahmedabad! It’s not about showing off (okay, a little). But how do you dress for a dream concert without ransacking the stores? With my wardrobe, decent PR freebies, and a knack for style, shouldn't this be easy? Thank, or maybe curse, you, consumerism!

Want to follow along with my fashion fasting? Keep your eyes peeled for a February update—can I do it? Who knows!
