I bought 2 more necklaces on Etsy…
I just had to. They were too gorgeous and unique to pass up. Include those in the shopping basket along with:
But Ellen tells me that the first one with the black flowers may not be so kosher to send out *cries* She offered a replacement filigree design but I was really set on the flowers….
Can’t wait for them to come in the mail. I’ll show ’em off on the blog once they’re here.
C’mon FB, total spent?
Urg. I feel guilty saying this. I really do. I know y’all are probably going to tell me that splurging once in a while is fine, but that little… inner voice of mine is cringing from 2 years of hardcore frugality with very minor but justified splurges.
These splurges can’t even be justified! I can’t even use them for my business, they’re just for me and my pleasure alone.
Sunset necklace = $93
Monet necklace = $100
Flower + Pearl Necklace = $38 *but I may not even buy it after all 🙁
Turquoise Necklace = $35
Total damage: $266 before CAD > USD conversion and before shipping
I’m thinking the damage is around $280 for 4 necklaces (maybe cheaper, depending on what Ellen’s answer is).
Maybe I better stop checking out Etsy now. You think?….
Just a girl trying to find a balance between being a Shopaholic and a Saver.
I cleared $60,000 in 18 months earning $65,000 gross/year.
Now I am self-employed, and you can read more about 
Ginger: tell me about it. I was pining after them for so long though!!!!
And I really think they’re beautiful and unique 🙂
I’m heading to Sassoon on the 15th, let me know how it turns out! I’ll be taking pictures of before and after too..
Rae: I know.. they’re killer! 🙂 And I love supporting indie designers instead of the industrial shops with cheap necklaces
!!! Large price tags! LARGE PRICE TAGS!
Gorgeous, though… I love the lilypad one. And I’d rather blow $100 on Etsy supporting a small artist with unique pieces than $100 on three different run-of-the-mill chain store pieces!
Ouch! Them's pricey pieces!
BUT: Think of them as investment pieces! A beautiful collection of quality jewellery doesn't grow over night!
If you love them and will wear them, then it is worth it. It's like going to the spa. Besides, you're supporting the artists!
Speaking of the spa, I'm heading to Sassoon on the 7th to get styled by Aliza! Fingers crossed it will work out well! My roomie is going to take the before & after photos for me 🙂
Dog: That is a GOOD POINT 🙂
Hey, at least you supported small female-run businesses while you were at it. Those are lovely.
Lys: I WOULD enjoy them. I love looking at them… 🙂
Always in style: I’ve been lusting after it for about 3 months now 🙂
Breagha: Yes. I did clean out a lot of my jewellery and instead of buying $10 necklaces, I am splurging on higher ticket items (a couple) that are more unique than what I can find in a store…
Secretista: Thanks!
Debt Dieter: *GASP* .. haha.. yea the waterlily one is very unique which is why I love it
Sharon Rose: Thanks!
Hi there-I’m thinking a well deserved splurge for all your hard work and getting out of debt-enjoy them!!
Dare I say this? What the heck, it’s not like you can’t afford it! 🙂
That waterlily one is gorgeous.
A splurge is needed every once in a while.
Wow. I thought the necklaces were beautiful the first time you posted them. And I still do.
Of course you should treat yourself once in a while, but judging from what you’ve said in the past (how you severely edited your jewelry collection), why not add a few WELL-selected pieces? These are classic, in my opinion. They can go glitz or even w/ jeans. I say right on.
First of all, what would you tell me – do you enjoy them? Will you get alot of use out of them? Are you happy? They are timeless pieces and I can see you enjoying them for many a fashion season so, while you confessed, I think you scored out pretty nicely. Those necklaces are gorgeous!
They’re all beautiful splurges – I esp. love the Monet necklace, I swear I’ve seen it and almost bought myself – enjoy them!
