I'm here with my husband, and I just told him I scheduled a color analysis appointment for tomorrow. His response: "You don't even buy yourself a winter jacket."

We get into it. The denim jacket versus a real winter coat, the concept of being "below the line" (a workplace training term he brought home that sounds a lot like nervous system states), and why I'll spend $325 on a color analysis but won't schedule the massage gift card I got for my birthday last year.

In this one:

• The denim jacket defense that makes zero sense but I'm sticking with it
• What "below the line" actually means and why it's not as binary as people think
• The negotiation over what color my next winter coat is allowed to be

If you've ever justified an impulse purchase while still avoiding the practical thing you actually need, this one's for you.
