Funny story about this top. I loved it for months but I thought $128 was too steep for a silk tank. Then I grabbed it a couple months ago when it got marked down to $70. But it sat in its bag with the tags on for weeks. I just felt a guilty spending even $70 on a little silk tank, so I returned it. Then I stopped by Anthropologie this week...and found one size 4 hanging in the sales room, marked down again to $40. And that was the only item I purchase this week. That is an accomplishment for me, my friends. I spent $40 on a top I love, and did not charge anything or feel guilty about my purchase. I adore this top much more at $40. Pink silk, a whimsical pattern of snails posing as polka dots, and a giant ruffle down the back= right up my alley.
Assessing my week, I don't think I did too bad. As some of us have discussed in the comments, a full fledged shopping ban is probably not going to happen for me. Blame it on my weakness, I just can't go cold turkey. But one small indulgence a week seems so much more doable to me. Perhaps it's similar to dieting...go too strict and you feel deprived and binge in the end? Maybe. I feel confident I can continue to spend less!
Nice job! $40 for this is a steal and it does make it seem even more fun!! Love the gold belt. You look fab!

LOVE that top on you! Funny thing is that I saw it online and wanted it...meant to tell you that I tried it on in Indy and didn't love it on me:(. Maybe with a belt?! It's So cute! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Am! Sarah E so glad to see you! I do NOT love this top without a belt, for sure! Very tent-like especially for those of us with a larger chest! A belt is a must! Thanks for commenting! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love that top. I left it at $70 and found it at $40 as well. And in a better size. I know you're supposed to be on a ban, but good find. It's quite unique.
