Forever 21 Online Shopping Addiction

Lately, even though I'm on a strict budget and I really don't have the money to spend, I have been craving to buy more and more outfits, shoes, shirts, skirts, etc. on Forever 21's online store. Whenever I go into the actual store I don't like half of the things I try on or look at. Plus, the same things I see in the store are not the same things I see online. So, recently I bought about $100 worth of clothes from the online store and when I received everything in the mail I LOVED it all. The dress I bought looks fantastic on me and I got jeans for a really cheap price that are wonderful.
Do I have a problem? I realized when I got all of my clothes (since I never really shopped online before) that I did not buy any shoes to go along with the outfits I got! I only usually have like, three pairs of shoes in my closet at one time, since I have never been a girl who enjoyed shopping for lots of shoes. But now, I have about $60 in my "bag" on the Forever 21 site online and I want to press the submit button for my order to be put through. The shoes I want are fabulous and there's about five different pairs I am thinking of getting. I would never consider spending $60 on lots of shoes but I would save about $10 on shipping and handling if I won't spend over $50.
So, should I order all these shoes? Help!

I love shoes, but I think you should try and stick to your budget....

Even if you do save on shipping, you don't really need all those shoes. What I would recommend doing is waiting. I want to go shopping as bad as you do but I have to wait as I have other things I need to attend to with the money I make with my job and the money I make from online opportunities.
Wait just a little longer I would say, or only buy one pair. You are new here, if you work hard here you can make $10.00 if not more a month here. As a gift to yourself, wait until you earn enough for next month's payment and receive it on or around the 15th of next month. That way you will have a little extra to spend.
Well of course just advice, lol, but good luck.

You sound like my daughter! lol. We made a trip to NYC and stayed 2 blocks from the Forever 21 in Times Square. We even went to the one in Union Square. She is addicted too!

how come you didn't like to shop on forever21 store. I love forever21 and just had window shopping yesterday, planing what to buy to save..
And about your online addiction, if that makes you happy and if you can afford, go for it girl.

I think if you are lacking shoes and have a bit of extra money to spare, you should go for it. I've bought several pairs of shoes there, and they are, for the most part, pretty comfortable. And best of all, extremely affordable. It's hard for me to spend on shoes, too, so I say this, but I'm not sure I'd be able to myself! My problem is more that I'd rather take the money and go spend it on clothing lol. Which is why I only have a few pairs of shoes, and many outfits that don't have shoes to go with them! I'd definitely order them :)

I love shopping too! But if you really need the shoes, go for it if it makes you happy. I regret myself on buying too much clothes and shoes. Even now, I just bought some clothes in Ebay and now I am thinking of buying again. I have to control myself coz I have so much clothes and shoes on my closet already and some of them I only wore once and some never worn it yet. I wasted so much money on clothes and shoes already! I gotta stop this. hehehhehe
Anyway, I think you should think twice before spending on clothes and shoes. If you really need it, just go for it. But if you just want to buy coz you like it, I think you should think it twice coz you just spent money on clothes. Just try to buy clothes once a month atleast.
