I’m obsessed with the British brand AllSaints. In the past year, they’ve grown from a small line of perfectly draped basics to a full fledged collection of clothes I would trade several small appendages for. They’ve even opened a US flagship!

So when I recently found a perfect pair of AllSaints jeans and a stunning black draped AllSaints dress on sale for less than $70 each, I had to take the plunge. And I do mean plunge.
Before this, I was on a complete shopping ban. I bought a house less than six months ago, and all my spare cash is needed for home renovation… but hey, it’s only two things, right?
Now, shopping ban broken, I want to buy everything. With each new item I covet, I re-imagine myself as better and happier. Never mind that I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, surely there’s more, more, more! I don’t get it. But now I know that not buying anything is a hell of a lot easier than buying carefully and in moderation.
