My shopping ban is tightening up this weekend. We are heading to Toronto in a few weeks, so I'm buying nothing until then.
I tried on a cute, cute skirt and pair of pants at Anthro last week. I really want to go back and get them, but I don't think they'll sell out soon. I want to wait until we get back from our trip. I also don't want to spend any money until I know if we owe on our taxes.
I'm going to hide in my apartment knitting and watching the superbowl to avoid temptation.
Ummmm....I need help!!!!!!! I'm so not good on a shopping ban/restriction! Ugh! To make matters worse for me this weekend, I'm going to Charlotte, which has great shopping, so it will be tough not to want to go shop. I guess the positive aspect is that it's just going to be me, DH, and my dad. Mom is in Cali, so no mom=no shopping.
Oh I was doing so well until this week. I broke down and bought a juicy hoodie on sale from nordies on tuesday and then I bought some steve madden shoes from shoes.com last night. Now I am feeling the guilt but they were both on sale and things I need/want so why not save the money now? right? I need strength to get through this weekend and break the shopping cycle. I just need to look for a cute thing to wear to my v-day dinner and then get out of the mall.
I need serious help. I really really really want to buy something to wear in Vegas, but I need to wait until it gets closer (leave Feb 26) & I have every intention of being skinnier by then, at least by a few pounds. Plus I'm supposed to hook up with a fellow STer to shop, so it would be more fun to have someone with me when I'm picking out stuff....ok. I think I just talked myself into waiting.
OHHHH - and luckylily, you will commiserate with this....one of our stitch N bitch leaders is having a yarn garage sale in the morning. I REALLY don't need any yarn & I made a deal with myself that I couldn't buy yarn without a specific project in mind, so I'm trying to talk myself out of going .......

Okay yarn whore...no yarn for you!! Seriously, just remember that this isn't the last yarn in the world and there is always yarn on sale somewhere.
It's hard tho. I'm taking a class today so I get 10% off at my favorite yarn store. Whhoooopeee! 10% barely even covers the tax, but somehow it always seems like such a deal. I'm not buying any tho. (I hope.)

I know, right? I didn't even go. I knew if I did there would be no leaving without buying SOMETHING. and apparently she does this every year- I think she has a yarn problem
