'to buy or not to buy'

Designer Dilemma

So I have a bit of a dilemma at the moment as I am scrolling through net-a-porters new Autumn coats. My lust for Balmain's shoulder pads and Westwood's capes, temporarily clouds my conscious mind into thinking that I can afford a £1400 coat. When in reality I can not.
I have a beautiful Westwood coat that I bought last winter an absolutely adore, but I continue to scroll an I'm already thinking up ways to justify my next purchase.

Why is it that retail and purchasing gives us such joy?
Why do I arrive at 8-am outside Selfridges on the first day of their sale? (the doors open at 9)
An I how am I going to explain to my husband that I no longer have savings for a house, but another rail of clothes to cram into our small flat?

'I guess I still have savings but they're made of leather an say 'Prada' on the side'

I'm sure I'm not the only woman who buys things she can't afford, maybe that's part of the thrill.

But this dilemma continues ...
