I will never learn to save my money. Even if I try, the second I have a little extra cash I can hear it calling to me: "Spend me! It's okay!" Usually I burn cash on several small things--a latte here, an iTunes purchase there--and occasionally I find my debit card drained by one quick run to CVS for "just essentials". For some reason I don't think twice about these things, but I agonize over big purchases even if I've been saving up for them.
Case in point: these Steve Madden glitter pumps.
I've been obsessing over similar styles all year, but could never bring myself to fork over the money for a pair of heels that I'd rarely have a chance to wear. Even when I've set aside an allowance for them I talk myself out of the splurge, only to find myself spending almost that amount of money on crap I can't remember. Yet I can't get over the allure of possibility these shoes represent. Buying them would be a promise to myself to get dressed up more often, find excuses to go out and enjoy myself, and embrace the sparkly, fun side of my personality. Heck, they're even pretty enough to display in my room when I'm not wearing them. I've spent too much time staying in and waiting for things to come to me, it's about time I slip into some killer shoes and find it for myself.
Also, these just went on sale for about half off...
What's a girl to do?
