I had some gift cards to TJMaxx from my birthday, so I splurged on some new luggage, and decided to fund a Kickstarter campagin for a company called Oddo, I read Shira's article at Refinery 29 and just admired her mission and thought, sure, why not spend $35 on a pair of underwear. Considering my usual cost per pair is $2-$6 I figure it balances out.
May really, really needs to be a no spend month, and truthfully I might not be done with April yet - I have a $5 coupon for DSW that expires tomorrow, and $10 coupon to Kohl's as well. Not missing out on my free money will likely result in spending money.
I am really looking forward to a restful weekend, this week has worn me out!

I love how you break this down each month - I should really start tracking my own purchases so carefully, I definitely splashed out on a few things in April. I have worn them, but that doesn't mean that I needed them at all because, well, I know full well that I didn't, but here we are. It happens to the best of us, particularly when there's an extra discount on the clearance rack!

Great top and dress!
ReplyDeleteAre u still doing that funeral tracking
ReplyDeleteAh! Sometimes you just gotta, right? I haven't had much money to spend on clothing these past few months since I've been saving for grad school things (even though I have school + apartment paid for, food is always important, as well as cute decor items!!) but hopefully I'll purchase some new clothes in a while.
ReplyDeletehaha yes going in store can be dangerous, there's always new things to catch your eye!
ReplyDeleteYou got some really nice things for your upcoming warmer weather though - that maxi dress is stunning and it would make a great outfit with the blue heels! :)

Those are amazing! Selma Lamar
ReplyDeleteYou did get some fun stuff! I love the striped tank and those white sandals. I let my DSW b-day coupon expire, sniff, but after buying 4 pairs of shoes on Friday I couldn't justify getting one more pair.
