Shopping Bans Make Me Sad

It hasn't even been a couple weeks and I've broken my self-imposed ban.  I really seem to lack self-control and it's really kinda sad.  There have been SOO many suggestions on how to stay on my ban: make a list, prioritize, take your shoes out for a spin, take pics of your shoes, admire your collection...none of which seem to work.  I make lists, only to buy stuff that's not on the list.  I admire my collection only to see that I'm missing "key" pieces.  I'm not sure what will work but I better figure it out before I start school next summer.

Anyway, apart from the glitter, here are some new shoes for me to play with (and you'd think I'd be satisfied...but no, I have to have more)....

Melanzana Suede Madame Claude (Nordies sale)

Denim Metal Patent Rolandos (Nordies Sale)

Brown/Gray Mamimo (Barney's sale)

Blue Acid Python Lady Claudes (Shoe In sale)

Sadly, this pair is going back (and it breaks my heart to do so)...

Givenchy Slouchy Boots (Barney's sale)

And no, I haven't even worn any of the above and I'm already contemplating my next pair.  Like I said before, pretty sad...
