am I cheap?

Ok, this is a serious question that I've been thinkin about for some time now. 

Am I cheap?

This will more than likely become a regular posting series, because I often find myself shocked at some of the lovely things that I see and can't afford, or rather choose not to spend my money on. 

I rarely buy things unless they are on sale. I buy store brand foods, drink house wine, and scour clearance racks like nobodies business. And the thing is that I don't feel less, stylish or less satisfied at all. In fact, I feel better because while I could have paid full price for a coveted piece of clothing, or item for my home while it was still, "IN," I waited a few extra weeks until it went on sale and could afford to buy that item and something else. 

So, this week I found these incredible pair of ballet flats on shopbop. I love flats because I'm a little bit taller, 5'7 and sometimes there's just nothing better than the perfect flat shoe to complete an outfit.

They're lovely, no? Well, as beautiful as they might be I just cant imagine paying $195 for them. I mean, I get feisty when I pay $50 for shoes but this? I don't know. Someone help me. Am I being cheap?
