Perfect Timing

I’m only a few days into my “no shopping” project and already it feels like the Universe is conspiring against me. This morning I saw the following message in my email:

Impeccable timing, is it not? Thanks to the terms of my latest project, instead of 3 months I will have just 10 days to actually enjoy “1st Row” status. But it get’s even better (or worse). About a month ago I blogged about a Rachel Pally maxi-dress that I saw on Shopbop.com. I loved it. The color, material and style really spoke to me:

I marked it to watch the price. I’ve checked on it at least once a week for the past month. Recently the price dropped to ~$150 from ~$185. But that wasn’t quite enough. I happened to be browsing Shopbop again tonight and noticed the price is now at… $80! That is soooooo do-able. And my size is the only one left in the color I want! (ahem, xs/espresso) I would buy it in a heartbeat. Except… except… I said I wasn’t going to buy clothes for 3 months?! I can’t believe this, I really can’t. I’ve been watching this dress for a month, it’s finally within my grasp, and yet there’s a 3 month gulf separating me from it. Can I really just not buy this now? I know this dress will not be available come May. So is this how it ends? Foiled by some crazy decision not to spend money? Unbelievable.
