Oh girl logic, my downfall
I very very nearly spent a large portion of my tax rebate on a Matthew Williamson sheath dress in some vintage shop in Notting Hill just because I know it was about a quarter of normal retail price. But considering that is around £800 and I have absolutely no occasion to wear a gold beaded floor length gown (not a dress, a gown) I think sense prevailed.

Yes, if you have no use for it
don't buy it. It may break your heart to do so...but it's for the best.

The voice of unwavering reason. Unfortunately that has never stopped me wanting things before.
It's been there for about three months (probably due to the outside of the shop looking like a crack den so no one is aware of the delights inside). Maybe worth trying to haggle I think *shallow*

Yes but from £200 down to what?
something equally improbable and unaffordable, I'm afraid. And if you still won't get to wear it...

£160 :(
I'm definitely going to talk to you before impulse buys now. My bank balance will thank me.

If it helps at all
think of all the Kurt Geiger sale shoes you could get for that money! You might see some use out of them, too.

Almost impulse bought yesterday
but it would've wiped out the tiny amount of money I have. It was a beautiful coat though

I bought a coat off ebay this week for £9 inc P&P
from Oasis last year, barely worn, £90 new, 60% wool coat and in a size 10 *capers gleefully*
