Truthful Tuesday

I had a little accident over on the C4 website the other day.... I've mentioned a few times recently about my new obsession with C4 belts. And how I bought a whole bunch of them... Well. I might have bought a whole bunch more. Someone please take away my credit card.

So I wanted the black &red plaid and the black & white check to go with all of my lumber jack attire. That seems fair, right? I even saved money by only getting one buckle to share between them. But then I saw the snowflake one and decided I absolutely need that for next year's ugly sweater day. (I may or may not already have my outfit.) And then I saw the one of the under water dogs, and realized one of the dogs is a pug! I've been on the hunt for pug belt FOREVER (surprisingly hard to find you guys!) and so I couldn't not get it. When you go to check out, you are offered some bonus buys. I'm a sucker for a good surprise, so I chose the $20 mystery belt offer. Last time I got a neon green one (which I think glows in the dark) and this time I got a navy blue one which I'm actually wearing today.
So that's my confession. I have zero self control and I just spent a gazillion dollars at C4 AGAIN. Sigh.
Anything you need to confess today? Thoughts on C4? What's your favorite print?

Truthful Tuesday

Today I'm confessing to spending far too much money on... a belt. I've been lusting after this belt for a couple years now:

Only in black or dark brown not this tan color. Problem is, this belt retails at $700. Now we all know I waste money on pretty things. But not like that. No no no.
Whenever my dad takes us on a family vacation, he gives us an allowance for shopping fun. It's a pretty generous allowance... (My dad's an awesome guy.) So while wandering around downtown Nantucket, I saw the above belt at the polo store. Still for $700. I obviously did not buy it. But it did bring back all my repressed feelings for that belt. That was on Saturday.
Sunday morning while my sister-in-law and I were hitting up all the stores we missed on Saturday, I stumbled across this belt:

Only in black. It was at a cute little boutique and NOT made by Ralph Lauren. It was ohhh... I dunno, about $500 dollars less. Still quite pricey, but far more attainable. I did not buy it... not right away. But I told my dad about it as I had mentioned the Ralph Lauren belt the night before (in this vein, "who in their right mind spends $700 on a belt?!). His response to my less pricey find? "So go get it." And so I did. And I still stayed within my allowance! <pats self on back>
Yep. I spent $200 on a belt. And honestly, I'm only mildly ashamed. Next task is finding something to wear it with!

Do you ever overspend, especially if it's not really your money? Have an item you're lusting after? Feel ashamed for lusting after material objects?
