I admit, I'm a splurger. I'm generally pretty balanced when it comes to spending my cash, but every once in a while I just get a hankering to buy things.
Sometimes the mood is so strong I tell myself I should just to plan ahead then blow an entire paycheck all at once. How much fun would that be?!?!
The most recent time I got the big spender urge was when I left my last job. I really wanted to be able to take that last paycheck directly to the mall. But it was not to be, and I still haven't been able to make a spree of that scale happen. I'm holding out for it one of these days.
In the meantime I'm looking back on past splurges and thinking about what was worth it and what wasn't. I'll probably update my list from time to time, but here's a start.
Totally Worth It
Kate Spade Lady Marmalade Earrings
Frye Melissa Button Zip Boots

So Not Worth It

Cashmere - I love it, but merino is easier to take care of
Nice gifts for not-nice boyfriends
French manicures
Colored contact lenses
I'd love to live vicariously through your splurges . . . please add them in the comments!
Happy shopping.
