Shopping Budget: March 2014

Spring Shopping Haul

I’m officially three months into my mandated monthly shopping budget and I’d like to think I’ve been a responsible shopper thus far.  Most of money has been going to LOFT, but I ain’t mad.  Spring is in the air and I’m stocking up on lightweight sweaters and cardigans and stepping up my open toe shoe game.  So far so good, so let’s bring it on, April!

  4. I actually just decided to put myself on a budget since its become very necessary as of late. It seems like you and I will be pretty similar in terms of spending goals. And also, Loft generally claims the lions share of my fashion spending too!

  11. I always keep myself to a shopping budget and it really helps! I also make lists of things I actually need or could be added to my closet, to make sure I don’t buy something I didn’t really need or I already had.
