Did I break the spending ban?

I have been lusting after a pair of trainers for a long time. I nearly jumped on the New Balance band wagon 6 months ago but as I was within my spending ban period I tightly held on and let the storm pass.

I very nearly went down the Original Adidas Stan Smith route too - so very very very nearly swayed by the gorgeous Francis from School Run Style .. again I held on tight and the urge went.

I couldn't let these one go by without buying. I've eyed them up for around 6 months but at £90 there was NO WAY ON EARTH I'd spend that on a trainer that would be used ONLY for fashion and not sport. I know they are a sport trainer but I am not a sporty person.

So down to the question of have I broken the spending ban? My original theory was that *I* personally would not spend *MY* money on anything. The Tesco tshirt (£4) I bought when I was out food shopping. The recent Tesco haul was bought with money from my Dad. These trainers were bought by Avenue 57 business for a cough cough blogging photoshoot I'm doing soon. So do you see that *I* *PERSONALLY*, really if you bend it, twist and don't look too closely at the detail, didn't buy them! You've got to love my logic right?

Nike Free 3.0 V5 Blue/Orange Trainers
WAS £90  NOW £72

I cannot wait for them to arrive. I've already thought of a few outfits to wear them with!
Denim dress
Jeans and vest top
Black skater skirt and vest top
Shorts and top

WAHOO COME TO ME, come to me now you pretty little things.

If they don't fit or suit then I actually will cry!
