On Friday Mr A and I went shopping; we were looking for jeans for him and I had mentioned that Guess had 50% off a few of their styles.
After finally finding a pair of jeans for him we had a little more of a wander and went into David Jones and had a littler peruse of the handbag department. I showed him this cute Juicy Couture bag that was $725 (obviously Australian Dollar) and told him that he should be grateful that I don’t ask him to buy it for me… and then he spots this gorgeous orange leather DKNY bag that I must admit I find myself drawn to…
Mr A: Isn’t this one nice?
Me: Ooohhh – that’s pretty…. *walking over and now holding it in my hands*
Mr A: you should get it – I like it
Me: *Looking at the price tag* I do really like it…. nah, its ok sweetie; its $575… we can use that money on something else when we’re in Melbourne.
Mr A: Are you sure?
Me: Yeah, that’s fine; come on, lets get some dinner…
It is now Monday and I am now wondering if I am a BIG idiot for saying no to not only a new handbag but a DKNY one at that!
I saw it again today when I was cutting through David Jones – the damn thing looked as though it was sniggering at me… telling me that I nearly had it… I cannot believe that I actually think I like it more now than on Friday night!
What do you think? Idiot or not

I took a risk at lunchtime today and decided to brave the elements and head into the mall for a little walk/window shop…
About a week-ish ago I bought some basic long sleeve tee’s (the perfect scoop neck) in that gorgeous knit style cotton and wool blend. They are perfect with jeans and rather nice in the black for work. I saw a few of them on display again today and thought maybe I should grab one more; I mean they’re a staple – I’ll wear them this winter and next winter and even on some cold spring days… really – I’d be a fool to not buy another one!
So I go to the counter to pay for the top (in gray – yes, another) and the shop assistant tells me that tomorrow the shirts are being marked up by 50% because sales at this price have been really strong…
I hate to admit it but I ended up walking out with three instead of one…
I now own 6 of the same shirts in 4 different colours!
Sheepish about my shopping!
