I’m pretty sure that stores both local and online must be noticing a downturn in sales figures of late, as I go through an extended period of rest in my feast-or-famine approach to shopping. In fairness I’m not your average shopper, having worked for a long time as a designer that got to travel the world four times per year and shop – I don’t shop so much as hunt, and I’m good at it. Periods of hibernation with my visa card alternate with bouts of spending-bulimia, after which I lay out my kill like some caveman-style visual merchandiser. There was a time where this would be followed by post-spending-panic-regret, but I no longer suffer this. Should I be worried?
Bring on Spring and the warming of my blood that will get the registers ringing again. This Melbourne winter will end, right??
