I like them, Christina, and I like the outfit as a whole, too. With the top, I mean.
FWIW, here are my thoughts on shopping limits.
1. Arbitrary limits don't work for me, either. I get rebellious, first of all. And second, they are sort of like fake deadlines. If there is no evident reason for the limit, something tangible, it can be difficult to accept it.
2. You are already doing a lot for the causes that a shopping limit would be contributing towards in your daily work. It doesn't mean you don't have to think about it -- it's just that when you do think about it, remember to add your important work into the equation.
3. If fashion gives you great joy and buying is fun (and believe me, I get this!) then maybe for you, the way to contribute is elsewhere, and the goal with fashion is to ensure you are passing along the items you no longer want in an ethical way and doing it fairly quickly so they make another person really happy.
I know this is really tough -- when your fashion persona includes a strong dose of "current" it can be really difficult to say no to new trends. I also feel this and struggle with it.
