Stop buying clothes, Sarah!

What is the point in buying clothes you won't be wearing for a while?
I mean, they were some really amazing sales. Three bras for 75% off, a skirt of 82% off. But a mini-skirt at the start of winter (well, this is Texas, I guess) and cute underclothes when I have no intention of wearing them in front of someone any time soon. It seems silly, especially when you take into account that I am not generating any income right now. Curse my love of clothing! I'm resisting CDs better than I'm resisting clothes and usually CDs are my biggest weakness. I've only bought one in the last month and I was on sale for $4 on Amazon. I mean come on! I was a double-disc- almost 2.5 hours for less than the cost of an average meal.
God, I am a product of a consumer society, aren't I?
Actually, I bought a couple other shirts this month that weren't on sale, I just really, really wanted them. I have enough clothing already! Why do I do this? Maybe it's a feeling of gaining something new when I am moving back in with my parents and giving up some of the freedoms I had. It's probably really because I should stop going into clothing stores with my mom (and other people) where the fitting rooms are near the clearance section and I browse while waiting.
BTW, going into Fredrick's with my mom: not as awkward as I expected it to be.
