Recently I went clothing shopping. This is usually a bad thing as I never return with the item I intended to buy, and all the items I did not intend to buy. This time I went shopping for new jeans. I had worn a whole through my old ones (they had lasted me 3+ years).
When I got to the store I discovered the worst thing possible... J.C. Penny was having a sale. I know most would see a sale as a good thing, but it's really not. It just means I'm going to buy more items that I don't need.
I restrained myself.
Be Proud.
I only bought 3 pants, 2 shirts, 4 sweaters and a jacket. (Yes I used the word only to describe 10 items) If you had seen the amount of items I tried on you would understand that I used great restraint.
And to top it off it was all under the amount I allow myself for impromptu shopping sprees!
Anyways, the shopping wasn't really the point of this post. The point is a new, stylish shirt can bring light to the cloudiest day. Wearing my new shirt to work today has made me feel more confident than what I would feel in a shirt I've worn to work several times before. It probably helps that it's pink!
So my advise, If you stuck in a rut, go buy a new shirt, preferably pink. (Yes, this even applies to guys.)

exactly how did you come to the conclusion that you would need an Impromptu Spending Limit????
psuacoustician- I came to that conclusion after NOT having an impromptu spending limit. Very bad things would happen to my savings.
You're awesome and an inspiration to people everywhere! I'm proud of you for showing such restraint... well done. :-)
