Must... stop!

You know when you get into one of those shopping groves and you feel like you can barely restrain yourself from going on a spree? I blame it on the change in weather. Suddenly, I've been fighting the urge to buy thinly knit turtlenecks, wool pants, scarves and a cute tweed mini.

I just had a fun filled shopping day on Monday. But I had no choice... I simply had to go shopping. Umm... no, no one held a gun to my head. Mo is studying for his series 7 exam and he needed a quiet apartment to read his notes. So instead of distracting him with my tv watching, I went out instead...

... to the shops.

I had a good day and bought a few new tops and a pair of pants. Then yesterday, I saw that the J. Crew site was having a huge sale. So I put in a small order there. I then tallyed up my purchase over the past two days and felt a huge wave of guilt. That's it I told myself. I'm cutting myself off!

But now, I see that they are selling these gorgeous wool suit jackets that they are practically giving away! I can barely restrain myself from putting the order through, but I promised myself no more. Not to mention, I really have no need to wear a wool suit jacket. But it is such a good deal!

Still, I must differentiate between want and need. And I probably will wear that wool blazer exactly once.

But that doesn't stop my fingers from itching over to the J.Crew site. Must... stop... help!
