I'm only allowing myself 3 bags this year and if there's anything else, I need to wait to make sure I'm completely certain about buying it and that I would wear it.

For soome reason I spent more in 2016 but this includes accessories and a few miscl. necessary investments like a new quality coat and work attire. What a festive and fun outfit as well.

I'm sorry to hear you spent part of December in hospital with your baby boy. I sincerely hope he's feeling better now. <br /><br />As for the fashion, you look delightful as always. <br /><br />I hope you have a very Happy New Year and all your dreams come true in 2017. <br /><br />Love Saba xx<br /><br />www.trulymadlydeeplyfashion.blogspot.comSabahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16893875595277266370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389409755164955294.post-1138564746716958222017-01-01T09:17:11.261+10:002017-01-01T09:17:11.261+10:00I don't track my spending - shopping is my hob...I don't track my spending - shopping is my hobby and I won't feel guilty about that.

Because no matter how much it cost, if you love it, it's always worth it!<br /><br />A very Happy New Year to you, my dear! Happy 5 years blogging! Wow!
