I got these flats from ALDO when I was in India in 2011 and have worn them to death in the last 2 years. They are often the easiest way to liven-any-outfit up. I guess I won't be parting with them anytime soon.
On to the shopping ban
: I have been six weeks into the shopping ban and I am realizing that I have developed balanced shopping habits and do not get tempted to buy anything just because it is on SALE or because I want it (for no rhyme or reason). In the last couple of years I have shopped mostly for workout clothes/shoes and other statement/investment pieces which will stay with me as long as my size doesn't change. There have not been any impulsive/impractical purchases. I am starting to think may me I don't even need the shopping ban, simply because it is not challenging enough. But I am not throwing in the towel just yet. Let's see if my thoughts change, after a few more weeks. If you have been on the ban and would like to share your thoughts, please do in the comments below and if you are a blogger and have posted about the ban in last two week, feel free to leave a link below: P.S. Comments are open for this post.
