Shopaholic Justification

As per usual, 2-3 days after I receive my salary, you'd find me in the shops splurging on casuals: tees, new fitted jeans, 2 new shoes, new toiletries, etc, nothing major. Until I pass by the designer lounge when I start desiring every luxury item. No harm in that, I mean every girl must have some hobbies, right? And I'm not so bad in splurging, since I consider every item before purchasing it: It is worth the price? Do I really need it? Can I survive without it? And it hasn't been drastic at all, I mean I've ONLY bought 3 designer handbags in 7 months, one of which was on sale and the other 2 were classic bags I could use for at least 3 years.

What's going on?

I bought myself yet another LV handbag and I'm feeling very guilty about it.

Justifications for and against:

For: -I've been searching for a classic cut BLACK bag for 4 months now
- LV prices will go up after the summer
- I didn't find the bag, the bag found me as per the Law of Attraction, hehe.
- I bought it now, so that's one less thing to shop for when I travel
- It's a great size
- It was the last piece in black epi in the shop
- If I don't purchase the right bag, then I will waste my money on semi-good bags and will get bored of them quickly.
- My black Gucci is showing signs of tear and wear so a new one is needed.

Against:- I should be saving for my trip
- There will always be beautiful bags
-I can temporarily live without it.

Okay, so, after these justifications, I don't feel so bad, and knowing me, I will probably make good use of it. And I guess I got myself a good investment. And here's my latest baby.
Till we meet again,
Sedeso
