Everyone Needs A Splurge Now and Then

This week Taylor has another fun topic for Top Two Tuesdays. She wants to know the top two things we splurge on.
1. For me I would have to say Coach purses. I love them and I have six right now. These purses below are ones I actually have and the ones I wear ALL THE TIME (if you look close in some of my pictures you can see them- lol):

I love them! They definitely can be expensive but I usually buy mine at the Outlet store or use a coupon at the regular store. They are still a splurge, but it is literally something I use everyday.
2. The Melting Pot is both a splurge with calories and cash! I LOVE the cheese and chocolate and every once in I will strongly hint to Dave that I want to go ( :
Head on over to The Undomestic Momma to link up and check out everyone's picks for their splurges!




I also wanted to share this little list of lies we tell ourselves to justify some of the purchases we "must" have from The Frisky: (I especially have trouble with the first two)

1.The Lie: I’ll wear this so often that if I divide the total price by the number of times I wear it, it will basically cost me nothing.
The Truth: It still costs a butt load of money.
2.The Lie: I’ll have this forever.
The Truth: You can hold onto something for a lifetime, but after a few years of wearing it, the fabric will be worn and BO will have found a permanent home in the pits. Either that, or the dry-cleaner will lose it.
3.The Lie: I’ll never find anything else like it.
The Truth: Unless it’s vintage or couture, you can probably get something similar at a retailer up the block.
4.The Lie: I’ll fit into it eventually.
The Truth: If you can’t close the zipper now, you’ll probably never be able to. Sorry.
5.The Lie:I can afford it.
The Truth: You can afford it if you put it on your credit card
