Low Spend Week Day 2 First No

February 24th, 2015 at 06:34 am

I got invited to go to a lingerie party tomorrow night. Kind of like Tupperware but instead, lingerie. I ummed and ahhed because this is so not my thing but I felt bad saying no. Then I thought of what I said Sunday "if it involves money or energy this week that is not needed then the answer is no", and sent off a text nicely explaining that this is not really my thing but have a lovely time. My SIL who was having the party was nice about it which makes me happy.

So it's Tuesday and the week is so far so good. I'm at 2 no spend days, have avoided a big spend (that lingerie would not be cheap) and am creatively aiming this week to avoid spending as much as possible. 2 down 5 days to go!

    Wow there are lingerie parties now? Sounds like another excuse to crack open the wine and gossip if you ask me lol.

    Glad you said no. Lingerie parties are so expensive. Was it Ann Summers?

    No it's a brand called Intimo. I looked them up on the net & they had a catalogue with no prices listed so I'm guessing they're easily $60 upwards per piece. No thank you! LittleMissSplendid these parties are fun but unfortunately I know a lot of people into party planning, there's always a friend of a friend starting out- I probably get invited to a party a month! Last one was last month but it was body shop & I needed a cleanser so $15 is no problem. But it's gotten to the point where I roll my eyes and ask do I really want to go? (Especially if the friend inviting makes no effort to spend time with you any other time, unfortunately I have one of those)

    I went to a lingerie party once and it was awful. Stuff I would never buy, and the whole thing was terribly uncomfortable. But I didn't know most of the people there.

    Lingerie parties have been around for years. I tend to avoid those parties too. I go if I need the item (which is NEVER) or am willing to go enjoy the socialization and not buy anything. I have no problem doing that. No one can part me from my money but me!
