It starts to call your name and you know you should ignore it, but you don’t! You stop and stare at it. This is the first mistake on your downward spiral.

You begin to rationalize how its such a classic piece that you can wear for ages and ages, but you know you are breaking the promise you made that very morning. No shopping today! But  well you know the rest.
