buyers remorse???

Today I got some much needed time to myself. I truly believe that shopping is my job, you will hear me say it all the time. To the point that if I'm on my laptop, my 4 year old thinks I'm working. I went to Saks today...I had to do a return from Christmas... yes I still month old returns sitting around my house. I was on the fence about a pair of boots I got as a gift and finally decided that if I hadn't worn them by now, they needed to go back. I planned my attack perfectly, I would return the shoes first then walk around the store and either get another pair of shoes, an outfit or a bag. As soon as I walked into the shoe department a pair of Chanel Boots caught my eye...AND they were on a sale rack... hmmmmm I picked them up to check the size and they were a half size too big... this could work. The price was literally IRRESISTABLE. One of those situations that whether I like them or not, I had to buy them. I tried them on, wasn't really into them, but they were CHANEL and they were well, CHANEL!!! LOL!... Like I said last night, 5 years ago I would have bought them and never looked back... Today as the mature shopper that I've become, I put them on hold and walked around the store, I browsed scarves, handbags, tryed on sunglasses, clothes and about 40 minutes later I went back to "Mark" in the shoe department and asked to try them on again. It always cracks me up... the sales people in the higher end stores look at you like your crazy for not jumping on the deal... really?? They were a great deal but considering the regular price was average Americas monthly mortgage payment, the sale price was probably most peoples car payment, so although it was a good price for Chanel, it was still a small fortune and I was looking at sacrificing Valentines day if I went for it. I tried them on and they weren't flattering...they were a bulky tweed and fur boot... gorgeous but a little big and just not a must.... I walked away... I left them for someone else... and I have no regrets... like I told you
