Sometimes I do get them, as I put the retail & sale price on the board too.
I should say I also put photos of vacations, cash, etc. on it, too.
To help curb the temptation to buy, however, I have also created a Closet Inventory & Outfit presentation document, where I create dozens of combinations.

IMO, handbags and shoes are wearable art, but art nonetheless--beautiful to the eye. So the dream boards satisfy the desire to look at a beautiful thing without actually owning it. I recommend it! When the urge is still strong, I just stop visiting TPF and stop looking at things that break down my resolve. Full stop.

Thats a great way to look at it, before I had kids a had a pretty social live, and it took me a long time to adapt myself to the "new me" my biggest thing was to stop shopping for heels, i am short so I always wore them always, but with kids that's basically impossible unless I wanna break an ankle I still owe 3 pairs from when I have super special occasions , but I have learn to love how beautiful heels look without jumping to buy them, i do have wishlists on pinterests but havent updated in while maybe I should go back to them :D

Way to go resisting that nice offer :). Really good job — it’s hard to resist (especially when you need some retail therapy, been there done that :lol:). Sorry to hear you had some bad days recently—hoping things for you will look up soon :). You are right — suede bags are not too practical for your weather situation. So all in all, you did good :). It helps to resist the next thing since you resisted this one — it’s like training a muscle to resist (sounds silly but true).

To be quite honest it will be one of those things I will have to deal for a long while, 2020 has been quite the year, at times its hard to focus on the positives seeing also how crazy the world is. Thank you so much for the encouragement, I actually felt relieved knowing I didn't fell for the sale price...sales get me a lot lol <<but is so cheappp >> every time lol

Hi everyone, so i have to say I am having a proud moment, a couple of months I "liked" a beautiful suede hobo bandit the price was $325 canadian in poshmark...but never jumped on it, as i have mentioned i have twin toddlers and I also live in an area where it starts snowing end of October and well this year we had some snow until April and suede is hard to maintain for me, but it's gorgeous, behold the posher sent me an offer yesterday of $202 cad and $9.99 shipping , I am not gonna lie, it kind of attracted me, like beez to honey hahaah XD and I started doing research but I stay strong offer expired 20 min ago and I didn't buy it!! I am so proud of myself as stupid as it sounds... i have had a super rough couple of days in my personal life and that sometimes sparks some shopping behavior , puff long post to say about the shopping haahah, now getting ready for work :smile:
Ps. Its getting colder at night and darkens earlier in my area, feels like we didn't even have a summer...awe 2020 is a year for the history books

Good for you! small steps like this are important.

We are getting darker sooner, last couple of nights temps have been a bit cooler which is nice... it's so hot on the daily. I am someone hopeful Sept will remain pleasant, we had 6in of snow in May so i am not in the least bit ready to return to that but the high humidty is causing my migraines to rage.

Not to enable, more just another consideration down the road. Are you familiar with Roots bags at all? The tribe leather is basically a suede and is incredibly durable.
