Talk about saving. This is the first time I broke these boots out... and I bought them last year. Now, to my defense, I did get them in the dead of winter and with snow, slush and salt, suede isn't exactly your friend. Furthermore, as soon as the warm-ish weather cuts through the six-month long winter, I'm dying to put on anything other than boots. So when my girlfriend gasped at me for having new boots (what's the big deal anyways?), I told her they weren't new, I had bought them last year. Does that make sense though? When does something become not-new?
I am a serious saver. Money? Not necessarily, everything else? Yes. When I buy something, I feel the urge to save it. Save it for the perfect occassion. In turn, items will sit in my closet, with the tags on, sometimes for months. Yes, months. Can you believe that? I sometimes can't either. However, I do find it extremely satisfying when I finally wear the item and it feels like it's finally that 'perfect ocassion'.
Tonight I was looking for something in my bed side table and what did I find? Something I've been saving.: Easter chocolate. Easter chocolate! They were some of my favourites (Cadbury cream eggs, mini Reese's cups, and more) and I of course didn't eat them first (I ate the non-favourites first, you know, get those out of the way), I saved them. For what you might ask? Oh, I don't know, for when I really really wanted them... ? And now, here we are, seven months later and you know I'm not going to eat those savings.
Want more? When I purchase groceries, I almost don't want to use them. I mean, of course I want to use them, but when I cook a meal with all the veggies we have, I secretly fear I'm forgetting about a meal the following night I'd like to use them for. Yes, because I can't go to the store the next day and get more...?
Lately I've been trying to crush this weirdo habit of mine by simply using things immediately, rocking my new clothes immediately and feeling good about it. It's kind of a, before-new-years-resolution. Do any of you like to 'save' things?

Do you ever buy something and over time not really love it because it's so basic or simple or just plain boring? But over time, you come to realize you actually wear it a lot and are so thankful you made the purchase? Case in point: these shoes. I purchased them over two years ago, they are so simple, so plain, so... boring... I mean, compared to other shoes I have, and yet, they get a ton of play, especially lately. Sometimes those types of purchases are the best and outlast trendy-loves in a closet.
