Things I didn't buy this week
Impulse buying is an Olympic sport, and I'm usually competing. The "if you still want it next month" trick never worked for me, but I've started a new one: if I don't want it by the end of the week, I leave it. It's not perfect, but it's progress. So here's a little round-up of what I *didn't* add to cart this week:
The Zadig bag
Purple, structured, and very *art girl in Paris*. I loved the design, the color, the whole vibe. But it's tiny — like, can't-fit-my-water-bottle tiny — and I'm a big bag girl. Add the €250 Vinted price tag, and I closed the tab.
A balloon skirt
Would it be cute? Probably. Would it look good on me? Maybe. Do I already own a couple of short white skirts? Yes. Next.
A pink cardigan
Picture it: me, on the way to the gym, in my pink cardigan, looking adorable. Now picture the pile of cardigans I already own. Yeah.
A pink pilates vest
Would it look cute? Yes. Do I do pilates? No. Case closed.
A fluffy pink sweater
This one almost got me. The color is perfect for my skin tone, and I don't own anything quite like it. But sweaters come around every season. I'm waiting for my next paycheck, and if it's still haunting me, maybe then. Consider this one "pending."
A leopard pillow
I did this to myself. I was writing about the leopard effect and suddenly decided I needed a leopard pillow. To be fair, it would look amazing with pink. But still — no.

The verdict
Impulse control isn't glamorous, but honestly? Saying no feels almost as good as clicking "buy now." Almost.
