Yeah, so the holidays took a little more out of me financially than I had planned, and I'm attempting to budget a bit because I still want to buy a few things to update my new place like a bar cart and shelf for my dining room. I'm not exactly on a spending hiatus, as I previously was, but I'm trying to save for the stuff I really want/need. Especially since I have so many trips planned for this coming year too. But, as usual, I'm lusting over a couple of things online and I can't decide if I should cave in or not...
I've been eyeing this Marmot vest for a couple of years now. I tried it on in store once and it was so gorgeous. It's on sale right now (which is rare in a size and color I want), but it's still not cheap. It would be so warm and comfy and cute for my ski trip though....
I've decided I want the Sedgewick bar cart, and I know that, per my earlier statement, it is being budgeted for and therefore it shouldn't be a problem. But it's pricey. And I could definitely find a vintage one for cheaper. So do I go for the instant gratification and splurge on the awesome new one or let my liquor bottles remain in boxes behind my couch until the day I happen across the perfect vintage piece? I'm getting antsy with my decorating and instant gratification is sounding oh so good....
I'm always on the lookout for the perfect slouchy t-shirt. Most supposedly "perfect" ones run around $80, which I will absolutely not spend on a t-shirt. I've heard good things about this brand and at $17 it will hardly break the bank, but for some reason I'm still hesitating. I don't really need another t-shirt, but what if it truly is a perfect, slouchy one??
And finally, I've been eying these cheeky Jonathan Adler Calories, Carbs, and Confections canisters for a while and they finally went on sale. They're not too pricey (only $36 for the set), and they'd look super cute on the shelves I plan to install in my kitchen, especially since they go with my citrus color theme. But once again, they're strictly a want, not a need.
What do you think? Should I cave on any of these??
