Splurge, much?

superbadgirlI just spend $228 on a dress. I thought about it a lot for a week, so it's not an impulse buy. I enjoy that it's handsewn and by a local artist, which to me makes it much easier to swallow the cost than if it had a famous label on it. Plus, the artist uses vintage silks from kimonos, which is cool and a half.
This is not me trying to talk away any guilt. :) I can wear this dress to work and, if I ever have cause, out. It is also not super-trendy, so it will last for years unless my body changes drastically. I'd show a picture, but I forgot my camera at work.
I would like to purchase shoes now. Not for this dress. I have a red satiny shirtdress with off-white ovals printed on it and I've no shoes to go with it. Maybe tomorrow.
On a total different tangent, I urge people to listen to Low's "Sunflower". The song always gives me a shiver, probably always will. Low is such an underrated and underplayed group.
When they found your body
Giant Xs on your eyes
With your half of the ransom
You bought some sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet sunflowers
And gave them to the night
Underneath the star of David
A hundred years behind behind my eyes
And with my half of the ransom
I bought some sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet sunflowers
And gave them to the night
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers
And gave them to the night
