Don't worry Jen! School is cannibalizing my jewelry $$ so I'm on a ban like it or not. I've spent more money going out and doing anything else but visiting high-end boutiques and their websites. I figure I'll live vicariously for a while on this site.
You are not alone. Save up for the Cartier and VCA!

Do it! Cartier is timeless and I adore that bracelet. Oh how I wish I had every dollar back from clothing I bought (and got rid of too quickly) just because it was on sale.
I've changed my mind!!! I'll get another Rolex.....
My jeweller found another "rare" one......still in negotiations......we'll see.
My goal is to not buy Chanel shoes and focus on jewelry. Also to cut back on bags and get the jewelry I want.
I spent so much on shoes, I could have had a great VCA necklace. That makes me sick!
Also I am being very picky about the bags I buy, I already have a great collection and the more I was buying, I never wore them.
2011 for me is quality over quantity! More thought out great peices that will last a life time. less impulse purchases!!
Great thread!

I too sit at a computer all day. So it's way too convenient to give in to the emails. I find that if I delete right away rather than reviewing each one, then I don't even know what I am missing. It's easier that way. Good luck!
NO! Wow that's impressive!!
My clothing spending would probably make me sick if I had the guts to add it up...
... then again my VCA purchases of the last 2 years would equal a nice little Volvo!
wow that's pretty awful isn't it?So glad I started this - I thought everyone would laugh at me! maybe we need a saver's support group thread!
I am trying to save up for matching Rolexes! I think the DateJust II with the black face with 18k gold fluted dial would be a wonderful wedding present to my bf. . .but I don't want to miss out either, so I am also saving up for the ladies version for myself too 
Since I'm also in school, it would be extra hard for me to save, so this means I'll have to be extra strict: I can't go out to eat, buy clothes, travel, drive anywhere unnecessarily (to conserve gas), etcetc. for at least a year (or maybe more!). It'll be hard but if I can pull this off, it'll be so worth it to see the surprise on my darling's face!

But it is addicting because it seems like a small purchase, 100 bucks here and there, it adds up!NO! Wow that's impressive!!

At least you have value with the VCA. And any support group in here is more like an addiction and enabling thread
. Hello VCA thread!Go to the Money Talks forum for support with saving money and for financial perspective. You won't find many enablers posting there. This forum has a wealth of information and lots of nice and responsible people who are cheering you on for your goals!
I came on this forum because this is the only place short of a gem show or a retail boutique where I find people knowledgeable about jewelry. There's a lot more on here too. Glad to be on TPF.

Nice! It is likely that I am going to be seeing a wg love bracelet on my wrist by the end of the year! If I am good!
I am in too!! My New Years resolution was to stop spending on clothes and bags so I can buy a fantastic piece of jewelry! I am thinking I would love a sapphire ring of some sort....
I need to stop buying so much jewellery and start saving for either the pieces that I truly want or for other things besides jewellery and clothes. just a few days ago a client of mine had a 1carat diamond bezel set tennis bracelet and he offered it to me for 600.00 so i said sure. just like that.... i'm ridiculous
