I almost made it through the day...
I was in an all day work meeting so no opportunity to do any online shopping. I wasn't even going to have an item that I wished I could buy but am not today... Then I went on Twitter. I saw a link from @slynnro whose style I normally covet, linking to something she said she had to have.
I clicked.
I gasped.
If this is still available after my 40 day shopping ban, this may be the one item I end up buying as my reward.
Or one of you could buy it and hold it for me until Easter.

Brazilian roots...
Not buying this today. It's so hard for me - I can't resist an item when its in my country's colors. Can't you see this just being the perfect lunch bag?

A sign from the stars
A few of your past purchases or investments might be coming back to haunt you today -- but don't worry, this lesson won't be a very expensive one. But if you've been thinking about tightening your budget (or maybe finally putting one together), today is the perfect day to get started. It won't be too tough to cut back the more excessive areas of your life. Not only will you reap financial rewards, but you might also just find freedom in needing and wanting to buy less.
It's true. I bought what appeared to be a totally cute Hobo wallet online (prior to and one of the reasons I instituted the online shopping ban) but when it arrived the bronze was too bronz-ey and old lady. Haunting.

Not buying today ... still in travel mode.
I love luggage. I love packing, but unpacking - not so much. Having just returned from quick trip, I'm still thinking about traveling items. I love the brightly colored luggage that you can spot right when it comes out of the baggage claim. When I was growing up my parents had canary yellow and bright baby blue leather luggage. We could always spot it easily. My mom was so sad when the luggage got sliced by some sort of knife or boxcutter in Miami one year on the way to Rio. She duct taped it for a few years, but finally had to give up the luggage to some newer, less unique, black fabric.
I have orange and red luggage. The red, I'm finging is not as unique as it once was, but my orange luggage still stands out on the conveyer. I feel badly for the owners of all those black boring luggage bags with their numerous tags and ribbons in an attempt to make them unique so that someone doesn't inadvertently pick them up.
I'm tempted today by a sale on Tumi (the Rolls Royce of luggage) - and on Gilt.com they have several in orange. Silly buyers not realizing that's the color they should snap up.

Not buying... (sob) ... shoes...
Traveling helped me from cruising the online shopping blogs, but I'm back and today I'm not buying these cute Seychelles shoes at 50% off on Ideeli.

40 day shopping ban
I've done it before, but now I'm on a self-imposed, lent-based 40 day online shopping ban. It is just too easy to point - click and weeks later boxes arrive, and I'm like "why did I buy this?"
So - hundreds of dollars of mostly unnecessary purchases later, here I am. But I still like to look.
So - What I'm not buying online today:
Cute little Jessica Simpson dress - great deal at Ideeli - sigh.
