My Love for Ebay

This is a gigantic representation of my new obsession, but I guess it is fitting. Oh, Ebay, how I waste several hours browsing your fine selection of vintage dressess, vintage fabrics, vintage patterns, denim,Ferragamo shoes, handbags,embroidered tops, and anything and everything I think I need or want.

In some ways Ebay has saved me a few bucks. I found several things that I would have paid at least double for. For example, a denim pencil skirt, which only took me 2 weeks to find. Browsing night and day. I actually haven't received it yet, so I am hoping it is everything I am hoping it to be. I also am currently bidding on a pair of J Brand grey jeans that retail way over $100. Do I need grey jeans? Yes. Especially since I was debating on getting some from H&M for pretty much the same price. But a pair of designer jeans? Absolutely.

In other ways.....it has been somewhat detrimental to my discover card. You see, I don't really have the money to spend, but things seem so within my reach, for a poor person. What is $15 or $20 here or there. Well I will tell you. A pair of leather gladiator sandals, embroidered mexican dress and top, new to me vintage dress, vintage lace for oh so many of my sewing projects, the cutest plaid fabric ever (if you knew how hard cute plaid fabric is to find you would understand), a john deere shirt for Luke (impulse buy), more patterns, more fabric, it goes on, and unfortunately on.

I keep telling myself, I only need a couple more things to complete my spring and summer needs. But then I see a link, and then another link, and pretty soon, I have found the must have staples of my wardrobe for next winter. HELP!!!
