I bought way too much stuff in April--I blame the gift cards that my bosses keep giving me (not that I'm complaining . . .). I have more than enough new stuff to take me into summer. So if it helps, I will be on a no shop May with you in spirit.

As someone who has done spending freezes both successfully and unsuccessfully, I can honestly say that the thing that makes the biggest difference is just staying away from stores and really riding out the "craving" for something new you've fallen in love with. If you still love it in a week, it might be a justifiable purchase and, if you do, chances are it will still be available in a month. And honestly, you have such an amazing wardrobe, you'll have all kinds of things to choose from when putting together outfits, even if you aren't spending!<br />xox,<br />CeeCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822990898186192908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551650242422472428.post-11045635633749224262016-05-02T10:38:33.535-04:002016-05-02T10:38:33.535-04:00You have much better control than I do to put your...You have much better control than I do to put yourself on a freeze :) And I just love the colors of this look!
