If you find that you are chronically shaming yourself due to your mass consumerist ways, here's a little game to play. It's called "What Will I Use for the Next Nine Months and How Can I Possibly Fit it All into Two Big Suitcases and a Carry-on?"
Seriously. Stellar results. And this is why...
On several occasions, you will find yourself walking down the street, passing storefront after storefront of mannequins showcasing cute spring frocks and hot strappy sandals, a punch in the face reminder of how much your current wardrobe sucks. But just as you are heading toward the entrance, a little light bulb goes off over your head and you wonder, Is there any way I can possibly stuff another piece of anything into my suitcases? The answer is obviously, Hell no! since you have already filled one with coats, shoes, and books alone.
But don't fret! Shortly after you pass up that adorable little floral skirt from H&M, you will pat yourself on the back for resisting the temptation and even more importantly, saving some cash. Who knows? Perhaps that money will go toward another plane ticket instead. Maybe for another weekend getaway in Madrid? Or maybe this time, you'll decide to check out Greece when that rainy German autumn kicks you in the pants. And who cares that you'll be running around the streets of Athens in a threadbare T-shirt? I hear the Greeks like to show a little skin anyway.
