Boxing Week Conflicts

Have I ever mentioned that Walmart makes me physically ill? I think I have some kind of hang up about consumerism... I feel guilty for buying things but the consumer inside me is begging to go boxing week shopping.

Usually I don't shop very often simply because the styles I like are either too expensive or not "in style" during the year. Except this last fall. So many nice clothes! Finally! The colours and styles I like and now many of them are 50% off during boxing week.

However, I'm starting to think the higher power is trying to make me choose the greater good over my own vanity. Why do these amazing deals on awesome clothes come at a time when my credit card bill is repulsively high (from Christmas shopping) and when my moral compass is directing me away from the rampant consumerism our society is experiencing?

I figured cleaning out my closet would make me feel better... I'm not sure if it has worked or not.
