    You have got to admit, Ginger is DRESSED!!!!!!!! Her style is absolutely amazing! Fantastic taste in clothes. I see a lot of people with shopping addiction buy a lot of crap that won't stand the test of time, but Ginger does have quite a few investment pieces.

      INDEED....I mean if you're going to go in debt over clothes, it may as well be GREAT clothes....and she DOES have great style so it's not like she's just buying clothes because of the label...she is truly buying HER taste.

    • @Meli_Mels
      @Meli_Mels Před 6 lety +12

      Yep! She's gorgeous, but sut she could be that fabulous with a capsule wardrobe. Its crazy to think she has to buy EVERYTHING. She should frankly sell stuff, so she can update. My heart hurts for her.

    • @DarkroomMedia007
      @DarkroomMedia007 Před 5 lety +3

      @@Meli_Mels I agree with you. If she gets therapy and address and heal from all of her issues I'm pretty sure she will be selling things left and right! This woman looks like she is just triggered by the shopping and underneath has a wonderful personality, a beautiful black woman just trying to do the best she can to keep from completely losing it. Having a therapist is a great step that a lot of people refuse to take so she's going in the right direction. And she had me dying laughing with her facial expressions and cheerful comedy relief. 😆 PS. Crazy to say but, I hope she doesn't commit suicide because unfortunately, these great women with deep emotional issues that seem to have it all from the husband to the kids, to the career slip into depression and take their lives. Praying she triumphs over this.

      That's like saying: "This guy may be a serial killer, but I gotta say, he picks the most beautiful women to murder. He's got great taste in women." No! It's a mental illness that can cause all kinds of problems (marital, social, financial, etc...). It shouldn't be praised or glorified, it should be treated!

      Aieshoo 1234 true, she's very likeable but to think all the great things she could have done with that money instead of wasting it on clothes - helping charities, a nice holiday a great experience. Clothes can't give you that. Just a short term high.

    I love shopping too. But it should not become a problem in somebodys life. I just plan budget save and shop. If one shops they should enjoy their stuff . If you overbuy you obviously regret what you bought . So the stuff is making you sad, but not happy. She basically earned 100k salary but is buying in high end stores regularly something she cannot pay for. Living within your means can always make you happy. I enjoy shopping occassionally and saving too. Both make me happy. She has stuff which which is now worthless to her and has to donate.

    • @ayodari_style
      @ayodari_style Před 3 lety

      I don’t see anything wrong with liking high end things. I have expensive taste, not for the typical Gucci, Prada, etc. but I order my favorite pieces from small designers that make their clothes to order in the US and sustainable source. I pay more for it but I feel better not paying for sweatshop labor. And they are a lot more unique and look very well made. However, since I like the finer things, I can only buy a couple items, so I have to keep that in mind and not go crazy.

  • @MichaelLovely-mr6oh
    @MichaelLovely-mr6oh Před 5 měsíci

    This is why I prefer window shopping over going into clothing stores. Window shopping is a great way to get exercise and on top of that fashion is a form of art that deserves to be seen and admired. While I am not the biggest fan of the movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic" I do admit that the fashion was pretty unique as the film's costume designer Patricia Fields was the head costume designer for "The Devil Wears Prada." Plus, I admit Isla Fisher was quite gorgeous in the film. Though I had never heard of her until this film was released; so I had no idea Isla was Australian.

    If they have a shopaholic addiction, I'd say don't give away all their clothes. Just give away the clothes that THEY choose, but count what they have or estimate it then give them a number. At least it's on their own terms. Besides, what is giving away clothes doing for them? If I gave away my clothes I'd want to shop even more.

      Lol. She's a Delta, a black sorority, the reason America has "Head Start" programs nationwide. Some Head Start locations are still called "Delta Head Start" because Deltas established the program. There is one in Santa Monica, CA with the Delta moniker. What's interesting about that one, to me anyway, is that it stands as one of only a few community monuments to the black past in Santa Monica (thriving black neighborhoods used to exist in Venice and Santa Monica before even graveyard adjacent property became hot property. This phenomena reminds me of the city's Inkwell that has been commemorated but remains unappreciated in its historical significance.
