That's where we differ. Unfortunately, I've had too many bad experiences with expensive shoes and blisters that I'm afraid to spend on shoes.Shoes. We need shoes. They are a necessity of life. It makes the feet feel happy.

I envy you. When I think of the money I paid for gorgeous TDF shoes I couldn't wear . . . sigh!
At least handbags fit. And jewelry.
Try Chanel. I’m actually a simple shopper and stay with certain brands. Chanel is my brand for shoes. They are actually very comfy to me. Maybe give them a shot if you have not in recent years. If no, it’s sneakers for you! They’re so in style now too, so that’s a good thing.
But you are 100% correct, bags and jewelry go with everything. Effortless.
Enjoy Vegas and getting your JUC. I would stop to see my SA and say hello. Don’t feel pressured to buy under any circumstances. I buy according to my priority list after planning and I don’t deviate from it. Might add to list but I stay on task with my yearly budget goals for shopping. Can’t wait to see pics of the JUC
OMG that’s why I made payment on my Perlee the other day. I said just give them this money so you don’t have to keep telling yourself not to start another tennis necklace project.I know, right? I am the same. And especially when the funds are sitting there, there’s always a devil side of me egging me on with ‘you want to spend it on something else and but the time xyz item meant for the existing funds come in, you can save up for that too?’… as hubby says, it’s all a mental game. We have to be mentally strong which is the simplest thought yet so hard to practice. We need a therapy group here for staying mentally strong
Thank you! I have a wishlist, I wouldn’t say anything takes priority besides the JUC right now so I’m curious to see what I want to add next after this from my wishlist. You all inspire me to stay strong and not to deviate from my budget or wishlist! Will do a reveal in the Cartier thread after purchase (:

I am so envious of people who are disciplined. For some it's so easy, for me everyday feels like an uphill battle! And this site with all the gorgeous girls wearing gorgeous jewelry . . . it's a pleasure and a !!@)@. The Devil Made Me Do It!I know, right? I am the same.

We were discussing this earlier; pave guilloche 5 motif worn in front linked with 10+5 all gold (linked with 20 was too long, for a pave combo I prefer collarbone length for some reason). I wish they offered more alternating pave in 10 motif lengths!!

Me too! It’s a battle to stay disciplined…to some it comes naturally… for me it comes after I do a lot of talking to myself (like ‘who do I think I am? A princess? If so where’s my kingdom and the money that comes with that?
), soul searching and strategizing with girlfriends help a lot.
Your combinations always look so great. Love the pave and guilloche and I’m not a yg lover.
Thank you! I need to make this my mantra. I have to admit that I often buy things based on love rather than practicality. That’s why the conversation in this thread has been so helpful to me as a reminder. I need to tell myself that I actually only wear items when they are effortless to wear, so when I’m thinking about adding a new piece based on passion, I need to ask myself if can I see myself just throwing it on when I’m running out the door. If not, then I should realize that I will not get enough use out of it!
Thank you! I’m not usually a WG lover, with a few very notable exceptions, and somehow exceptions always come up when they involve diamonds
As usual, this combo looks great on you. I like how you positioned the guilloche alternating as the shorter length, very nice.
Even better... I'm so used to seeing the clasp on you, when I see it now, I think of it as a One-of-a-kind @nicole0612 Custom Piece!
