October Budget

How could it possibly be the end of October? I'm pretty much flabbergasted, and that is a word I don't use too often. I did a bit better with my spending this month, got some great sales at Banana Republic and Anthropolgie, as well as more thrift/posh/ebay finds.

I finally visited the Goodwill in Westport, CT, which is significantly nicer than other Goodwills in the area, just based on the town's wealth, I suppose. I found a fun pair of Haute Hippie silk printed joggers and pair of gap jeans and only spent $12 on both! There were lots of other pieces I wanted too but that weren't my size, particularly a brand new Ann Taylor pencil skirt, and a pair of Hermes slide sandals. I did manage to snag a pair of brown Ferragamo loafers on Poshmark for only $15, which I'm quite pleased with.

Also I feel like I should note that all the secondhand and TJMaxx items pictured are only stand-ins, but they are pretty close to what I actually got.

  4. I am always amazed when you do these posts, looking at all the things you managed to buy and expecting to see the total spent come to a thousand dollars, but this month in particular, I am just stunned - $128 for all of these things?! You amaze me. And I can't wait to see you wearing your new Ferragamo loafers!

  5. I always sort of suspected that the Westport one would be a special case - I wish I'd visited it at some point!

  6. WOW I cannot believe you got ALL that for so little. Every piece is great and I cannot wait to see you wear them all. I love particularly the dress, loafers, joggers, lace blouse and white off-shoulder top.

    My October shopping was done in 5 stores: Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, Target, Loft, J.Crew and White House Black Market but I got great things in all of them.
