Impulse buys are the work of the devil

After taking on a few extra shifts and finding myself with a few extra dollars, I consequently found myself doing quite a bit of shopping centred around the end-of-year/season sales which abound this time of year. However this kind of shopping climate often goes hand-in-hand with one of my biggest financial hurdles--the impulse buy, aka the regrettable purchase. It never fails to astound me how whenever this happens, I later find something I absolutely must have only to discover I am short the exact amount I spent on the regrettable item.

Nevertheless I did manage to find a few items I adore and which will fit in rather nicely with my existing wardrobe, in particular a pair of gorgeous Biba sunglasses and a cobalt blue Camilla and Marc dress. In my old age I hope I will out-grow this impulse phase, or at least cultivate enough wisdom to always think twice before handing over my hard-earned cash.
