Top 2 Tuesday- Splurges!





It's Top 2 Tuesday!

Today's topic: Top 2 Splurges!
This one is going to be a little difficult for me.  I use an all-cash budget and very rarely spend a lot on ANYTHING.  It causes mini-freakouts and a lot of guilty feelings.  Probably not a healthy relationship to have with money, buuut it keeps me in budget.  :)

Haircuts and Highlights
In college, I cut my own hair (curly-haired girls can get away with it.)  It didn't look bad.  But now that I'm all "professional" and stuff, I get it done at a salon near my work.  It's a chain salon, but I love my stylist and he does exactly what I want.  My usual foil/cut/blowdry/tip/product costs me about two weeks' worth of my "spending money."

Purses
For our first Christmas together, Mr. D bought me the Coach Bleecker Shopper (specifically, the one on the  far left.)  I love it and I will use it forever.  But I can definitely see myself expanding my Coach collection to some classic and versatile bags.  I recently bought pink Legacy wallet for myself (off eBay, so still a bargain!  Only a small amount of hyperventilation, really...)

I just saw a SATC 2 trailer while watching Gossip Girl (dearchuckbassiloveyou) and I can't wait til it comes out!  Only those girls can look fabulous while riding a camel...
So excited!

Hope everyone survived Monday, and I can't wait to see what you're splurging on these days!

  1. I am a haircut and highlights girl myself. I just can't go without. At least we will look good when we have no money...

  3. I think we all did the college-roommate haircut trick. I unfortunately had some pretty bad ones though :-) That's just one thing I have a hard time spending money on - my hair. But I have no problem spending it on my other little (or not so little) splurges!

  4. I'd say hair is definitely my splurge. I've just finally settled in to a new color and cut and I'm 2 months from my last appointment (I'm just realizing this and I'm shocked!). I don't plan to go again for a touchup on highlights until next month. But boy do I love spending time in the salon!
