Making Progress

I am celebrating one small victory this week.

Old Navy classically has their "Item of the Week," and once in a while it is a deal that will stop you in your tracks. Actually, it won't stop you in your tracks; it will make you rush straight to the mall to purchase the item that I didn't need 5 minutes ago, but now suddenly can't live without. That is how I ended with a $12 pair of skinny jeans in my closet this past October.

And now, temptation began to settle in again. Summer dresses for $15 at Old Navy, and endless commercials to remind me of this amazing deal.

I looked up the dress online and saw that it this fabulous summer fashion item was not made in the U.S.A., so I passed on it. I looked through Buffalo Exchange and American Apparel, and could not find a similar dress.

So at the end of the day, I ended up not purchasing a dress that I didn't need to start with. After all, there are 3 skirts and 4 dresses hanging in my closet at the moment.

I call this...progress.
