One thing leads to another

The other day I stopped at a local discount store to get Dave some new button up shirts. I'm really trying to scale back my shopping, but they'd advertised them in the flyer, and they were a great price - and he really needed some new shirts.

Of course, I had to pass their dress display to get to the men's section (They do that on purpose - I know it!) where I spied the most perfect dress.

 

Now, for some reason, I'm a sucker for a black with small white polka dot print. There's just something so... classic... about it. Add in an empire line and a nice swing fabric - how could I resist? And it fits like a dream (thank goodness this was the only print they had or I would have been walking out of the store with more).

But every time I buy myself something like this - I'm faced with a dilemma - I want more! I want something to go with it - new shoes, a new accessory. In this case - it totally needs a bright red cardigan. 

Something like Myrna

Or maybe Miette

Or Kersen

Or Milena

Or the Red Leaf Lace Cardi

Or Serrano

.... this is why I shouldn't shop...
