I gave up buying new shoes several months ago, vowing to donate all the money to Barack Obama instead. I have bought zero shoes since then. This is not normal behavior for me, at all.
Then the economy collapsed, and although at the moment all my income streams are fine, in general I'm in a state of perpetual fear, some members of my family aren't doing very well, and I think it's wrong to buy things you don't need when people are in trouble. So, I also haven't bought any new clothes other than inexpensive and necessary basics, like a new pair of jeans to replace a pair that was so tattered and soiled at the hem I really couldn't wear them anymore. That kind of thing. But no recreational shopping. None.
However, as with the shoes, now and then I see something I want a lot, so instead of buying it, I post it here. My sacrifice today is pictured above. Sob. Although the $168 pricetag would have been a bit much no matter what.
I like the coat you were wearing yesterday. You looked pretty hot. I'm just saying.
Oh, and you made me wanna go look for a long, black tunic style sweater, too.

Well, the coat is lovely and the color would be excellent on you but, I think you are hotter without it. Priorities.

Yes, NA, priorities. But, I really need a long tunic thingy. Getting chilly down here.
