Buying new for vacation?

Im going on my honeymoon in 2 weeks and this week spent way too much money on new bathing suits, skirts, sandals etc.

Does anyone else like to go on vacation with some new things? I mean I must have enough stuff since I did make through the last 33 summers clothed Chat Icon

Haha...shopping for a trip is almost as fun as going on the trip itself!! I got this from my mom...she shops selectively for months before a big trip, like for a particular type of coat for the weather where she'll be or good walking shoes. I do this now too - it gets you excited for vacation!

Re: Buying new for vacation?

i bought new for my honeymoon, because i lost a lot of weight before the wedding and my old clothes didn't fit and because my honeymoon was before summer started so they were my new summer clothes that summer.

how exciting!! I never used to buy anything for trips before I turned 30, I think I didn't know that was 'a thing'. Just call me clueless!

Then I started noticing that whenever I travelled, people were lookin good!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I wont go overboard before a trip but i'll make sure I have at least 2 really nice outfits.

Congrats!!! Shop away!!!!Chat Icon

Re: Buying new for vacation?

Yes. I love to buy for vacation and I also love to buy while on vacation. There is nothing like being home and wearing something that that has a good memory attached of where you bought it.

Re: Buying new for vacation?

For my HM ...everything I took...I mean EVERYTHING had tags on it ---all brand new and I LOVED IT

IMO (esp after having 2 kids) you may never be able to do this/afford to live this way again....so do it!! and dont feel bad

Always!

If I'm going on vacation, I like to get a new clothes for it.

I try not to go nuts, but it's hard not to. Chat Icon

I was certainly pulling tags off a lot of stuff from my suitcase when I was on my last vacay. Chat Icon

Re: Buying new for vacation?

I always get atleast a coupole of new things. We're going away in June and I don't want to get much beforehand, but I plan on doing some damage at the outlets while we're there!

Guilty here!!Chat Icon

Almost everything I take on vacation is new. I have always been this way. Much to my husband's dismay having 2 kids has not changed that either. Except now I buy new stuff for them too when we go on vacation. The cycle continues...Chat Icon Chat Icon
