Even so it was a bit of a squeeze to wear everything this month with my return to shopping, so I'll probably take a shopping break again next month!<br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead of you :)<br /><br /><a href="http://awayfromtheblue.blogspot.com.au/" rel="nofollow">Away From The Blue Blog</a>Micahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06858487062882928298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551650242422472428.post-41449908417419402752017-08-31T23:28:47.677-04:002017-08-31T23:28:47.677-04:00That one shoulder top is SO very cute!

M...On the bright side you did not spend much Lydia. My fave here are the scarf and the one shoulder top. <br />I have been cutting back a lot. Avoiding the mall at all costs. Going to thrift shops. Going through my closet is driving me insane. There is so much I have not worn in so long it feels like I am throwing money out the window. <br />I've been taking items to the consignment store and am planning on having a super small budget for next year. In fact I am considering that my budget be whatever I get from consigning my clothes during this year. So far I have about 100 bucks.. we'll see.

Not that I should complain, but it makes me feel wasteful! I have those Banana Republic rewards too, and it's making me think I should change to a card where I get money instead?? Then again, we get such great deals at BR (even my husband)<br />XOXO<br />Jodie<br />www.jtouchofstyle.comJodie's Touch of Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16453914318183037853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551650242422472428.post-84901292910436452732017-08-31T08:50:48.060-04:002017-08-31T08:50:48.060-04:00I am super impressed by how little money you ended...I am super impressed by how little money you ended up spending, particularly considering how much you added to your wardrobe. But I do see your point about not actually wearing the pieces. I haven't done much shopping myself this month - or this summer at all, to be honest. At least, that's why I think until I start to consider the number of items I've actually added to my wardrobe and while, like you, I haven't spent much, the amount of new things I've acquired is still substantial. That said, I have worn all of mine ;)<br />xox,<br />CeeCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822990898186192908noreply@blogger.com
