Overcoming Temptation

You may recall I am currently in the midst of a Year of No Shopping. Counting today I'm 98 days in with 267 to go.  Last week I almost threw it all away on these:

Uniqlo Leggings Pants

 

 

At a mere $19.90 these leggings won't break the bank by any means AND I don't really have anything like this in my current wardrobe. However, I don't NEED them. I have leggings and I have pants, enough to see me through the winter.  This was a pure want/lust situation as I pictured these legging pants with knee-high boots, flannel, and a blazer. Or, with a printed blouse and long cardi.  I was so close to clicking "proceed to checkout" but I got up away from my computer and shook out the energy to calm down.  Temptation overcome!

 

Also, after much consideration and a consultation with my shoe repair guy I will be replacing my brown Bass loafers highlighted here.

 

 

 

 It appears the damage cannot be fully repaired and with winter coming (hehehe Game of Thrones) a sturdy loafer will be needed.  So I'm on the search for just the right replacement at the right price.
