So, how am I doing on my $10/week july shopping restriction you may ask?
It depends.
I bought an awesome vintage leather handbag at a garage sale for $3 this weekend, and then I just placed an order at the fabulous Asos sale that came to $28 including shipping! So I've got $9 left (and one week of July left).
But, before any of those purchases, I was doing really well and hadn't bought any clothing, shoes, or accessories all month. But then, I was in new york city with my husband last week, and he wanted some new shoes, and I had just spent the morning at the wonderful Redress and not found a THING despite wanting to go there for MONTHS, and so I was sad, because I had been planning to spend my $40 there, so then we went into a shoe store, and I had been wanting some Tom's shoes, and they had some in a really awesome teal color.... so I bought them. And they were more than my remaining $9 (they were more than $40 if you must know). And then I came home and put 6 pairs of shoes into the donate pile.
Whew, that was long-winded. I'm not really that sorry. I'm just kind of sorry. Blog-sorry.
Anyways, here's what I nabbed:
I'm glad someone else has given themselves a shopping restriction, so I don't feel so alone. Except my shopping restriction is more severe than yours. Nothing at all for the months of July and August. Almost done.
ReplyDeleteI did sort of cheat and buy a tie for my husband, but that doesn't really count, as it was for him, not me.
