I am generally a firm believer that spending money on lingerie, shoes and winter coats is always justifiable.
Regardless of how much; with the caveat that you should get good use out of such purchases, which with those three things you usually do.
BUT
Recently I’m getting a bit tired of paying such hefty prices for lingerie. On top of that my recent dressmaking has given me a mentality of “I could make that” to almost everything I see, EVEN THOUGH I’m a bloody novice.
I say hefty because though in singledom, La Senza sufficed, being married has made me get much prettier things a la Damaris/Mimi Holliday and Agent Provocateur. If I had the cash to blow I’d be buying from Bordelle or Strumpet and Pink.
I’m starting to think this is slightly insane… and yet, until I become seamstress extraordinaire, I don’t see things changing. 
I’m planning on asking the guy on what he thinks about the difference between the brands, etc AFTER our anniversary (DEC). Maybe he’ll cure me.
) but it gets paid automatically from my debit account which is always in credit. I hate owing anyone money…expecially the evil banks.
