Suddenly, all of the sense in the world left my brain. I pounced on my credit card like a crazy honey badger and in mere seconds it was a done deal.
Other than my wedding dress, this is the most I've ever spent on a dress (even this gorgeous maxi was on sale when I bought it). In theory, I believe you should opt for fewer high-quality items than many inferior goods. I just haven’t been very good about putting that into practice. I’m good at mixing high and low in my home, but not as much in my closet. I see a purse that’s $350 and shy away, but I’ll end up with five $70 purses without thinking twice (most of which I either tire of after a while). Being in my late thirties, you'd think I'd have this figured out by now.
Have you ever made an impulsive purchase? And what's the most you've ever spent on a piece of clothing? I can't be the only one, can I?
I'm hoping this dress fits well and is worth the splurge. Will keep you posted!
Have a great week!

Sometimes animal instinct takes over and we just can't control ourselves ;) That dress is stunning! I'm sure it'll prove to be worth the splurge Xo, D
ReplyDeleteHaha! That dang animal instinct (;
DeleteI finally got the dress Diana and you're right, it was so worth the splurge.
I think it was a good splurge - I can't wait for updates!

It was a good splurge, Dr. C! Can't wait to post pictures (just need a little more colour on my pasty legs first).
DeleteIt's sold out now so I think you did good by pouncing right away!
ReplyDeleteImpulse buy... nothing recent comes to mind. Last one was probably my Powerbook. I went in to get a video editing program and came out with a brand new computer. Ha. (It did have the software program on it already for free so I think I saved money.)
A Powerbook is such a good purchase, Liana! Especially when it comes with the software program you initially went into the store to purchase. I think we'd have fun shopping together (:
DeleteP.S. That dress sold out lickety-split. Glad I pounced!
That's a gorgeous dress, every once in a while we need to splurge. Not always, but once in a while. :)
ReplyDeleteYup, I agree Rachel! You definitely appreciate the splurge more when it's a rare & special occurrence.
DeleteThat dress...stunning. Thanks for the reminder, I had started out post pregnancy picking up high quality goods but have fallen off the wagon recently. This dress though, I'd call it an instinct purchase, not an impulse :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the way you think, Lauren! I'm using that description -- instinct purchase -- from now on. Thanks, lady!
