I'm spending too much money as it is...

but I wonder girls (and boys), should I lay a bid on these? (The bid is now c. 5 $) It's a risk buying shoes on the internet and I don't know if they will be comfortable enough. Usually I don't wear shoes that I can't have my special soles with, but they are (still) cheap and rather sexy I think.
Or should I just stop spending money and get this damn dissertation done?

There will be a victorian dress

I assure you. I have lovely dark chocolate brown rayon twill that I will use for a 1850s dress with two flounces and a jacket-like bodice. And it will have blue fringe around the sleeves at the edges of the flounces etc. Because I just bought this! Yay for blue and brown!
