FIELD NOTE 1.5 – Solde = Sale = A Test in Restraint

Apparently in addition to freezing weather, January in France brings with it le mois des soldes where practically everything is on sale at incredible prices and, since this is France we’re talking about, all the stores actually carry clothes that fit!
Unfortunately for me I decided not long ago (15 days to be exact) that I was going to be more financially responsible. This meant having to give up buying the cute little scarf at H&M, having to say no to the warmest and slimmest looking coat at Jules, and waving goodbye to the blue sweater at Zara that would have made my eyes look so pretty by telling myself there would always be more scarves, if I wanted the coat it would still be there, and that my eyes really didn’t need to look that pretty.
