I love your musings. I think you always articulate perfectly the process that most of us go by. We make a wish list, we start searching and suddendly we are way of mark, buying things because it might look good with something else and we end up with happy family of items that live happily in our closets, waiting for a life/occasions we don't have and we haven't bought what we wished/loved/wanted.
It was a brave and wise decision you made and a big cheer to Una for the counseling.

Shannon, you are a wise woman! You are right, it is so easy to be caught in the buying frenzy and think that you "must" get something. I am so proud of you that I would alsi give you some hugs like Una.
I know I have to restrain myself heavily when it comes to Danier jackets. I was looking for a white jacket for 3 years now and that's the reason I got one now but I will restrain myself from buying any other leather jacket now doesn't matter how tempting.
You are also on the weight program so it does not make sense to invest into a jacket now when your size is going to change. You can reward yourself when your goal is met.
Hugs - you are amazing!

You are so wise and insightful, Shannon. Thanks for sharing your thought process (and Una is so wise too!). Good for you for not settling...keep up with PPP and that perfect white leather jacket will come to you someday!

I love this post.

Thanks for sharing your thought processes with us Shannon. I think it will help us all to be more PPP and be mindful of what is right for ourselves.

Brilliant! Now the perfect spring jacket is going to pop up for sure...probably later this week.

Here is my take on the situation. Over a few days in the next two to three weeks, the temperature is going to go from -10 to +25. Those few days will be perfect for wearing a spring leather jacket and then we will be in summer temps and it will be too hot. I think you could get two or three fabulous dresses and possibly even a few accessories that you can wear and enjoy all summer.

Great musings as always Shannon.
