Feeling pretty good and proud of myself.
But, I just got an email from Totokaelo. These Acne pants just came back in my size.

I want to remain strong and hold fast.

Oh, no - I feel your pain. I keep looking at the calendar every single day. 10 days to go, we're 2/3 of the way there.

I looked at them ... they look cool but all sold out (again) apparently. I did not even try to be austere this month. Perhaps September could be the month of parsimony.

Those are gorgeous! Looks like events have overtaken you unless you snapped 'em up in the last 10 minutes!

I'm still holding firm. If you don't count things like a tankless water heater and whole-house speaker system...

MsM, I would love to see anyone try to wear a tankless water heater. I was really impressed by how small they are (also: want one)!

I think the pants got returned in my size, but they haven't updated the online inventory.

Delicate Dry Clean only. I'm just putting that out there. In my mind, that means "you can dry clean them, but we're taking zero responsibility for the fact that they'll probably come back ruined." I just read a long and ugly article about dry cleaning a pleated skirt. Long. Ugly. Expensive. Remain strong!!!

ETA: Just to be clear, long, ugly and expensive refers to the dry cleaning saga. Definitely not the pants, which are lovely. But in a siren song luring you to dry cleaning doooooom sort of way.

Ah, it's just the mohair in the content. I wouldn't let that stop me:) Those are beautiful - when I click the link, it says SOLD OUT - which takes all the fun away

I didn't get the memo about Austerity August so feel no guilt about being enthusiastic about buying right now!
