In the spirit of trying to stop buying stuff that I don't need, I thought we could do a post of the things we really considered buying but did not. Fee free to tell the person that the stuff they considered is ugly so they feel better about not purchasing
I did not buy a J Crew bubble necklace, fake or otherwise. I really want a red one, though. I did buy one that is similar that I think I even like better, so I'm telling myself that it would be silly to buy a bubble necklace. This is what I bought.
I did not buy anything from Sephora during the 14 days of giveaways or whatever that was called, even though I came extremely close to get the free UDPP. I really don't need any cosmetics.
I have really been wanting this pencil skirt from JC Penney. It's cute and inexpensive, but I don't really need it.
I really wanted one of those jcrew pencils skirts all the birds on here at twittering about. I would love the neon pink but by the time I could actually fit into it and would even have the chance to wear it anywhere, neon would be a faux pas. So I was able to talk myself out of driving 45 minutes to my closest store.
I did not buy any of the Cole Haan stuff on Ruelala...although those nude leather pumps were really tearin' up my heart...N*Sync style.
I too did not buy a Fakecrew bubble necklace. My CW one's are my alternative, lol.
I made a concerted effort NOT to get up and go to or call J Crew for any of those pencil skirts, though after getting mine from Preppy, I fell in love with the fit of the No. 2.
My reward (except not really cuz I would've done it anyway) was to make my appt to get my hair did for next week. Gotta look fresh for FCG if I get to see her...oh, and for my reunion I suppose.

I went to Kohls on my lunch and I was so tempted to buy this LC Dress, it looks so much better in person. It was such a pretty green, I might go back for this one, I don't own anything like it.
I didn't buy the bracelet you posted earlier today Dawg! GO MEEE! Because I REALLY wanted it. And btw Dawg that necklace you posted that you didn't buy, I DID buy one very similar this weekend at Target, $12.99. So at least cheaper....
Oh yeah, I was this close to ordering Bimbi's CW necklace yesterday, I keep wanting to buy the fake J Crew bubble necklace too but haven't yet. Macy's and Kohl's have so many dresses I want that I could literally wear dresses this whole summer one a day IF I BOUGHT them. Sigh.

I also didn't buy anything during the sephora sale... and I'm not planning on buying Zoya polishes during this promo, which is a huge deal for me. I also wanted to go to the outlets this weekend and I didn't make it there, so I didn't buy anything!
I am lusting over that fake bubble necklace and I want to go and see about the pencil skirts.... we'll see if I can hold out.
No Zoya polishes for me either, especially not after I discovered that I had purchased two bottles of Jules during the last year and didn't even realize it until now.
I also didn't buy any Kendra Scott earrings during the Gilt sale today (sooooo tempting!) or push the "checkout" button on my Sephora or Nordstrom carts which have been sitting open in tabs on my browser for a week now. I'm definitely getting what's in them (Dior shimmer powder in Amber Diamond, a new MAC face brush, Shisedo sunscreen, Givenchy foundation, the Le Metier de Beaute blush kaleidescope I've been lusting after for a year, and Georgio Armani Eyes to Kill in Obsidian Gray) but shouldn't do it this month. The Nordstrom GWP is really tempting, though.

Hair is never a cut back on item! It's a necessity in this house.

LOL Obvi!!
I spent equal time with my stylist and my husband on both Valentine's Day and my Birthday. I think she may have been jealous if I didn't. I see her again a week from today. Lol!
Today was just testing my will power. First there was the Kendra Scott sale on Gilt. I'm a Kendra Scott junkie. But I already have a Plum District voucher to use in store.
I could not sit still all day wanting to go to JCrew to see if they had any skirts. Lucky for me they did. Unlucky for me, I had to buy a size bigger than I had originally thought. Ha.
I also saw a cute pair of flats on Piperlime that I am seriously considering buying. They're only $30.
Hmmmm...I really want to go get Essie Mojito Madness.
I think that's about it. I'm sure I'll think of something here in a few though.
I went to Kohls on my lunch bc I had 30% off and $10 birthday gift coupon. Lately I'm obsessed with all the LC stuff but I refrained from buying the shirt I really wanted and only got a pair of black ankle pants for work, which I needed more.
Future- which shirt did u get? I wanted the cream tank with gold polka dots so bad, I may have to go back tomorrow, lol.
DAMNIT. Well, I did not buy Kendra Scott anything today but only because I missed the sale until now and everything I would have bought that I've been waiting desperately for a sale on to go with a dress of a particular color for a special event is gone. DAMNIT. I do not want to pay full price for something so specific, but I can't find anything comparable (big, chunky, dressy, colorful stones).
I have some shadows I love, but can't find the same colors in a cream version. I was itching to snap some up.....but I was a good girl and didn't give in.
