I am a shopaholic, yes, but I am not an impulsive shopper. I usually have an idea or list of things that I want to purchase. Some of these items are trendy...others are timeless, classic pieces. For example...this summer I have been loving colored jeans. I bought two pairs of them but refused to pay more than 30 dollars because I will not have them in my closet forever. I also purchased a pair of Tory Burch shoes; these shoes are pricy and I consider them to be an investment in my wardrobe. I will wear them for years to come and I can wear them dressy or casual. (Plus I saved up for four months...and coveted them for a year...enough time to decide if I REALLY LOVED them!)
On a side note...it was only $40.00 off the retail price of the wallet...maybe a bigger discount is waiting in the wings for me :) or maybe I should just save up and add it to my wish list!
