FYI Sidewalk Sale Lovers. The 14th Annual Alexandira Sidewalk Sale is just 10 days away.
As a slow-living side note, I don’t tend to shop “sales” because I’ve been known to buy things I otherwise wouldn’t even think of or desire. I do shop sales for beauty and cosmetics because those deals are freekin’ incredible! But hey, no judgment if you’re a sale shopper, some peeps are brilliant with the deals and discounts — if they work for you have fun and have at it! I know lots of people make fun girls days of it!
If you’re concerned about unnecessary or silly-what was I thinking-consumption here are some thoughts for you. Ya know, some questions to ask yourself before tapping the plastic:
- Is this something I’d want if I wasn’t caught up in the magic of the sale? The frenzy. The event. The people. The spectacle of it all!??
- Does this fit my personal style? My wardrobe? My décor?
- Is having this on my body a story I want to tell the world.
- If this item was in my home will it bring more beauty into my life?
- Will I still want this in a day, week, month, year?
If it’s a no-no consider leaving it for someone where it’s a gleeful heck-yes!
Here’s Visit ALX’s Calendar Listing along with their Sidewalk Sale link. Though, note, only businesses that buy into the Visit Alexandria organization’s membership will be featured as a participant. And that’s good news! I bet there will be lots more stores that step-out of their storefronts with some sale items…
Also, kinda exciting this year are the musical acts! All those deets & more in the Visit ALX link…
