So the rules were that we could only buy necessities - food, music and in my case - an iPhone*. No books, no Etsy, no new clothing or accessories.....sounded daunting.
However, I actually found this challenge surprisingly easy! There were a couple times I almost bought e-books but that was it. I also didn't include visits to pubs or restaurants as cheating since I figure that fell under the 'food' part of the diet.
Now that it's over, I bought my first item:
It's a little case for my ipod - it's getting pretty scratchy inside my bag. And it matches my red nano! Can you take it?
I figure it's good karma from the shopping diet, because immediately after I bought this, someone bought three bags at once from my shop! And anyway, I haven't bought anything off Etsy since July.
*Which I decided not to get. I know. I'm waiting for the iPhone 5.o. Yes, I'm serious.

It's super cute!
You know what's weird? I got an e-mail from apple saying they would replace my nano for free because there was a chance it could shock me or something. Anyways too bad my nano drowned like two years ago and I have no trace of it left. Sigh. A new little nano would have been cute.
Congrats on completing the shopping diet. The new nano case is super cute. Good way to break the diet.
The new iPhone will be here in, what, 6 months? Might as well wait!
How long was your shopping diet? I need to go on one of those as well, but I mostly need to curb my impulsive grocery store purchases! :) I'm seriously out of control in a grocery store.
