restraint

i swing by Urban Outfitters to return a duplicate of a rug i bought. Stupidly i bought 2 instead of one so a return was needed. i usually run my errands on my days off, which are a welcome break from sitting at my desk all day. i also take this time to blog, clean & pack my apartment, do the laundry, catch up on tv, pick up dry cleaning etc.

its also a good time for me to do girly things while J is at work (ie. get waxes, facials, manicures & pedicures etc). so after i got my green tea facial at my usual Japanese spa, i hopped over to UO to do the return.

lo & behold, i was immediately drawn to the table of rings, bangles and charm necklaces. i spot 3 pieces i'm itching to buy. then i move deeper into the store, perusing dozens of belts i want to include in my already large belt collection and then moving toward the back of the store where i spy a beautiful black cotton & crochet vest and a colourblock sundress in muted colours! omg, i WANT it!! but seeing how i really need to curb my shopping spending & after torturing myself  by trying it on, i decide to put it away and collect my $30.25 from my returned rug and walk out of UO empty handed. SIGH...
