10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE DATING A SHOPAHOLIC

Today's blogpost is one for the hubbies out there, dating a shopaholic can be a little difficult sometimes, that's why I listed some good (in my opinion) tips on dating a shopaholic.

 
1      Just until the moment where you propose to us and we get married, our money and our bank accounts are indeed, ours. Don’t get your nose into it, we do whatever we want with our money and if that means that we’re eating microwave lasagna for a week because I spent all my money on a Givenchy sweater and some designer underwear, so be it. As long as you’re getting fed every day, you can be more than happy.

2      If you’re going to be nagging us during the whole shopping spree, don’t come with us. Believe me, as much as you hate shopping, we hate a boyfriend who stays outside of every shop and tells us how we don’t have time to go into that one shoe store we love. Stay at home with a beer and your friends, and let us do the damage with our friends. People who do understand the importance of having a pair of Louboutin heels in every possible color there is.

3      Never leave your credit card somewhere we can find it, we might mistakenly use it for an online shopping session ‘thinking it’s ours’, and god knows it only takes us a few clicks to make your bank account go way below zero.

4      Do not ever say that we “already have something”. If I’m holding it and I’m interested in buying it, I do not already have it. We’re shopaholics, not Alzheimer patients. We know perfectly well which black sweater we already have and which one we don’t. Just because you don’t see the difference between mohair and cashmere doesn’t mean that we don’t. Believe me, do not ever say we already have something, it will only make us mad and push us even more to buy it.

5      Whenever we’re having a conversation with a shop assistant, do not interrupt us. We’re most likely having a very deep and meaningful conversation about a sweater, which you will never understand. Oh, and do not ever talk bad about a shop assistant we just had a conversation with either (unless we do ourselves), these people understand us. We love them because they make us feel good with their sweet-talking and they love us, because we buy shit.

6      If we go on a shopping spree with a guy friend, don’t be jealous. He’s gay.

7      Never buy us clothing as a gift for whatever occasion. We will most likely dislike anything you buy for us. But, whenever we do hint you on getting us a garment, don’t you even dare coming home with it in the wrong color.

8      Find yourself a stylish friend, or maybe even a stylist. We spend our afternoons with our girlfriends at Chanel, so however much we may love you we cannot be associated with a walking fashion disaster. Image is key.

9      Don’t ever give us fashion advice. We are practically stylists and we control the situation perfectly no matter if we’re watching Sex and the city on the couch or having a night out in town. Your opinion on our expensive and painful shoes is never appreciated, not even if it’s positive feedback. We know we have style, no need to state the obvious.

10     Don’t date us, we will leave you broken-hearted and bankrupt.

Hope it helped!
CHEEREOS!
