January Budget

This post is kind of an addendum to my December budget post, as most of these purchases were made in the last three days of December. I decided my pink velvet heels weren't a good fit and went to J.Crew Factory to exchange them. I found a Point Sur jumpsuit that was 60% off it's already reduced price and thought it would be fun to bring to California. Then due to my poor planning I didn't hem it in time (it's like four inches too long, so not even going to work with heels). In some fantasy world I was going to have all this time before my flight, I was going to run errands, hem a jumpsuit... Instead I frantically packed and then unpacked trying to get my suitcase under weight.

I also made some purchases that I had sent to California; the Zara straw handbag which I wanted over the summer and successfully talked myself out of got marked down and I could no longer resist. I also decided to give a Knixwear bra a try, since I'm so tired of my painful underwire bras. I'd say the bottom line is, I like it enough. It's not a 'wear with everything' kind of bra, and doesn't replace my underwire bras, but it's great for casual days. I don't typically include bras in these roundups, but if you are thinking about trying it and want to know my thoughts, I'd be happy to share.

  1. I'm glad you finally added that straw bag to your collection, it's such a good piece! I love mine, although now that I see it in your post, I realise that I didn't carry it as much as I expected to in the second half of last summer... I'll have to fix that this coming summer. As for planning and hemming, I am right there with you; I bought a pair of trousers weeks ago for a series of work meetings that I fly to on Monday. They are still on my hanging rack, unhemmed. I guess I'll be packing a different outfit :P

  2. That bag is so cute!!! I always think I'm going to have more time than I do before a trip, haha. And yours was right after the holidays so that's even crazier!

  4. I was coveting that bag, too and kept thinking I would find a similar vintage version and never did. Great buy!

  5. That bag is cute - glad you could score it so cheaply! I really like that jumpsuit too, I hope you can hem it when you return from your trip. You did really good in January and didn't buy much! I feel I bought a lot!

    Hope that you are having a great week! We finally have someone coming over to fix the aircon today, yey! Has been no fun in the heatwave without it!
