February is a wrap, which means I’m recapping another month of purchases. Earlier this year, I set a monthly shopping budget of $350 with the goal of being more responsible with my money, more selective with my shopping and more creative with my wardrobe,
This month, I had my eyes on all things spring. I’m talking textural knits and lighter jackets — pieces I know will get some major wear this season. I also bought a pair of slim white pants, which I guarantee you will end up stained by the next shopping recap. Finally, I scooped up a pair of leopard flats and a mini bow ring to round out the month with something a bit novel.
Coming in a bit under budget this month (and last month!), I might be setting my eyes on something a little more extravagant come March. Stay tuned!

Good for you, you got some great items this month.
This is a great idea! I might start doing this as well with my shopping. I spend way too much on clothes!

I just posted my budget breakdown yesterday! I came in under budget too…WHO am I right now? That never happens. You should definitely reward yourself by using your unspent dough for something amazing next month.

I love the idea of this and great job so far!
I love the loft wide stripe jacket, I’ve had my eye on it but missed the 50% sale. Maybe I’ll get lucky and find it on sale again. You got some cute stuff this month!
