What I Bought on The Way Out

Once I decided not to shop for a year, I admit I panicked a bit.
I did some last minute shopping.
Is that in line with the spirit of the experiment?
Probably not.

But... it's whatever, man.

First I hit up the FreePeople sale section and choose two kimono type toppers.
Like, honestly, the VERY DEFINITION of things I DO NOT need...



($78 for the rose burnout dress, and $60 for the plaid)

I went to Tenoversix to grab a Make eyebrow pen ($20). I literally walked in yesterday and said "Quick! Sell me the eyebrow pen before it's 2018 and I can't try anything new!" (Not going to lie, so glad I did, it is a great product and gave me beautiful brows. Unless it dries out after just a few uses, I will most likely replace this when it does run out.)

I bought a beautiful ring  ($188) I do not need from a highly rated Etsy seller. I should and do feel the most guilty about this purchase, but I had Christmas money to burn and I swear my pockets were actually ON FIRE.




And a new work bag ($243), second hand. A Philip Lim Pashli in the large size (and it is LARGE)



So. That is the level of damage I did in 3 days with Christmas money (and let's be real, a little non-Christmas money).

THREE DAYS. 

I suspect you are starting to see the need for some control now, yes?
I'm not good at telling myself no.

Here we go...
