Yesterday I saw some red shoes in a store and it was love at first sight. I didn't need them, but I loved seeing how they sparkled in the window. I went in just to look, of course... But when I saw the 40% off sign, there was no turning back. I tried them on and smiled in the mirror. They were too good to resist! My card started to shake, but I didn't. Besides, they fit perfectly. I bought them, went home and promised myself never to buy anything else again... until the next sale!

Getting that for you now...
