If I were tempted...

"How's my shopping fast going?"

I'm not tempted...
To prove my point, one of my best friends alerted me to a good sale the other day but I wasn't tempted. Curious enough to get the details but not tempted.


I still browse some of my favorite stores for outfit inspiration every once in a while and want to share a beautiful skirt from Anthropologie. Even if I weren't following through with my new year's resolution, I still wouldn't consider actually buying it for two-and-a-half reasons: 1.)It's expensive; 2.) Online, my size is out of stock; lastly, 2.5) I refuse to look for it in stores because that'll just lead to trying it on and probably falling in love with it.
Besides, I have a comparable bubble skirt and a similar top.

So here it is, what I'm tempted by...but not really because it's meant to be one of those unattainable pieces admired on someone else who can afford it and who isn't "shop-fasting."


Browsing online tonight has left me with question, a corollary to my resolution, and I want to ask my readers what would they think would be appropriate.
Gifts?
The holiday gift giving season has just passed but if I were to receive clothes or shoes from somebody as a gift, would that constitute breaking my resolution?
Tell me what you think! I'd love to hear some advice :)
