What I am currently coveting

I can't help it, I really can't. I have even bookmarked where it is currently sold on-line and I occasionally click there just to look at it. The scary thing is, I can't even afford it at sale price!

The silk blend jacket (yes, probably totally unpractical) is Marc by Marc Jacobs and on sale is over $200. I grew up in a household where we scoured the sales racks for $5 t-shirts and never bought jeans more fashionable than the Gap. Spending $200 on a jacket, that cannot be used for skiing, was NEVER an option. There is still a bit of that budget girl inside of me and splurging on a jacket, even one as beautiful as this, pains me a little bit.

I am hoping in the next few weeks it goes on sale a little more and I can convince myself to GO FOR IT!

We had a house we were interested in and I bookmarked the Realtor page- we'd look at it often as well as drive by it. I totally had it decorated in my mind. Long story short, there were some issues with it that we didn't feel comfortable putting a bid on it but I loved

I'm thinking I will never spend $200 on one piece of clothing. Ever.
