For years party season was my favourite time of the year to shop. The prospect of office parties and drinks with friends, coupled with my penchant for anything glitter or feather adorned, meant that I was only too happy to spend my November paycheque on a party dress or two.
Of course, much like with winter wedding guest outfits, you couldn't be tagged in the same outfit twice, so I'd merrily buy 3-4 outfits for December, which I'd carelessly forget until the following year, at which point my appetite for sequins would only be satisfied by buying something new, and so the cycle continued. But my shopping habits and general approach to fashion have changed in the past few years.
