shoes!
I took the long way home from work yesterday evening. Fresh off of the heels of hearing that it’s possible that I may be working on my project a little longer than I’d anticipated, I was feeling pretty good in all of the sweet spring-y splendor. I dipped into a few stores, looking around, hoping I’d find a few nice belts, ‘cause I need some. But of course, there aren’t many belt stores. So I found myself looking at pastel windbreakers, cute flats, pretty blouses, and sexy sundresses. Of everything that I’ve seen, the thing that I was most tempted to buy was shoes!
I picked a few up. I put them down. I checked the prices. I did the math in my head. I thought about those few more paychecks…
And then I remembered my spending policy. I don’t really like to spend money unless I have a firm grasp of what my checking account looks like, and yesterday afternoon I wasn’t too sure about how much damage I had done earlier in the day. The shoes will be there today… and Friday… and over the weekend. Sistah Beginner and I are supposed to go tax-free outlet shopping over the weekend. I’m going to do some math, set a shopping budget, and have some fun this Saturday. I’m hoping to buy a nice spring suit (and maybe matching shoes), since I’ve been invited to go to an afternoon tea later this month. I might have to pick up Sistah Beginner’s method of taking cash with me so that I don’t overspend, because I am really, REALLY excited!
