Shopping Budget: April 2014

Summer Must Haves

I’ve never been more ready for summer and I think last month’s purchases would agree.  Instead of stocking up spring layers, I spent most of my shopping budget already in vacation mode.  Mirrored aviators, a floral print romper, and a few new dresses to add to the summer mix.  I went a little over budget this month, but the thought of vacay days, warm temps and sunshine had me a little trigger-happy.  Happy May!
