my vice

No, not just a sale. An Urban Outfitter sale! Right now, I feel like Rebecca Bloomwood (shout out to fellow Confessions of a Shopaholic readers, Michp).

To shop or not to shop? It seems so trivial or even stupid thinking about this, but sales are ruining my life. I'm spending way too much money on my debit card, no! I must be frugal, I must be sensible, I must be sharp. MUST.

Every time Urban Outfitters has some type of sale or event like this, I can't help but to be consumed by it. I can rarely keep the promises I make to myself every time I get a paycheck: No, not this month. No spending on unnecessary things. But then, I start to think (a disadvantage to myself, really)...clothes aren't unnecessary at all. I mean, the more the merrier, right? You always need more clothes. Always.

And now that the season is changing, I'm going to be tempted to buy some of their gorgeous yet overpriced"late fall catalog" items. Like, for example, this bag: Isn't it gorgeous? The best part is, its on sale too! $68 to $39, amazing. I know that sometime this week, I will fall into UO's temptations and look at what's on sale, probably building up my wishlist in agony. (Hey, none of you better get this bag. It's mine ;))

I have a problem. But hey, the first step is to simply admit it.
Can somebody teach me what the next part is? Please.
