Soooo you've heard of OCD over compulsive disorder , and you've heard
of 'the impulse buyer' well have you heard of COMPULSIVE IMPULSIVE DISORDER???
It's time you learn, we seem to all suffer some form of C.I.D. and the cases
range from mild to severe.
Compulsive Impulsive disorder results in random pieces of clothing, that you don't normally
wear, but somehow you love it. Well to assess myself honestly I definitely sit
somewhere just above the middle range of severity, which lands me with some
pretty 'unique' clothing, that I have never ever worn....
Its CID bad? well friends it can be a big waste of money with minimal
or zero satisfaction. CID purchases can wind up making you feel guilty and really the only thing you are
guilty of is buying something you loved without
considering how it might work with what you regularly wear. Now stop feeling bad right now, because all
the Compulsive Impulsive Purchases sitting in your closet are waiting for you.
Talk about challenges this was the hardest mix and matchup I've come
across yet, CID purchases are like that. If you are ready for a test here's
your chance, dig out that old CID purchase that you've never worn and start
thinking outside of the box. It won't be easy at first but once you hit a
creative streak you will be surprised how that old CID purchase can actually be
worn in public. 
Let me tell you about the most recent CID purchase I've made. I love
shawls and scarves, and even ponchos! YES PONCHOS, I've almost always had at
least one poncho in the closet. So this winter while shopping in winners, I saw
this beautiful crocheted poncho, it's so soft, it's a little bit sparkly, feels
like a blanket, and it has flowers on it!! I loved it the second I saw it, and
carried it around the entire store wondering if I should really splurge and buy
a poncho.... I realized that there was currently no poncho in my closet,
and I was sold.. I had to have it, I
felt like I was set up, it had my name written all over it... But it's A
poncho... do you think I've worn it?? NOT ONCE.... not even inside the house. There is nothing like wearing a blanket in public and getting away with it...I had to
have it.... This is the definition of
Compulsive Impulsive Disorder. Even while buying it I knew the chances
of me ever wearing it were really slim... but I just wanted it... had to have
it.. I probably could have stopped myself.. but I didn't... .. sound
familiar?
Well if you are like me and you still love all your CID purchases
then pull them out of the closet and start integrating them into outfits that
you think you'll actually wear. Work with your disorder you bought it because you
liked it, it's fun and it shows your personality and you'll wear it if it looks
good, all you need to do it match it up! So let's go, if I can do it with a
sparkly, flowery, crocheted, poncho then I am sure you can handle whatever your
closet throws at you!
