For some time now, I’ve been wrestling with a big purchase decision.  See, when it comes to stilettos or a Le Creuset purchase, the inner shopping dialogue is pretty easy – mainly “Is it a good deal?  Will you use it?  Is it stunning?  Will the purchase make you regret it at all?” and I either purchase or I don’t.  For really major purchases, I employ a 24/48 hour waiting period and go from there.
