Retail Therapy: A Shopaholic's Guide

By Markita J. Johansson

Enjoy the ultimate love letter to shopping guilt-free because sometimes getting a new pair of shoes is the best kind of therapy.
Retail Therapy is a combination of self-help, style bible, and confession from a recovering (or not-so-recovering) shopaholic. It covers everything from the psychology of why we desire that dopamine rush at the register to learning how to look expensive on any budget.
This stylish, humorous guide will tell you:

The true motivations behind our purchases (hint: they go beyond "it was on sale") and how to use that energy constructively
How to create a classic, eco-friendly wardrobe that makes you happy every morning
In an age of numerous tabs and customized advertisements, modern shopping techniques that save time, money, and sanity
How to mix and match, style, accessorize, and enter any space like you own it
How fashion affects our self-esteem, emotions, and even the narratives we convey to the world without using words
Future-proof styles, innovative technologies, and the reasons eco-friendly design does not have to be dull
A nonjudgmental exploration of shopaholic behavior, including the pile of "I will wear it someday" items and the overflowing closet
Useful, no-shame tools to feed your fashion soul and budget like a pro
Stories about actual shopaholics that will make you nod, laugh, and possibly conceal your credit card. momentarily

Retail Therapy is your permission slip to love fashion fiercely and shop a little more wisely, whether you are a conscious minimalist in training, a serial impulse consumer, or just someone who thinks life is too short for boring clothing.
Because everyone looks wonderful when they are confident, just like that gorgeous little black dress you have been coveting. Proceed. You are deserving of it.
