I wasn’t looking forward to tallying up May’s purchases for this month’s shopping budget, mostly because I partook in a bit of pre-vacation shopping before St. Martin. My favorite purchases of the month: pom pom scarves, printed shorts and a gorgeous pearl necklace.
Surprisingly though, I managed to stay under budget since most of the pieces I bought were relatively inexpensive … What can I say? I’m a sucker for cheap thrills! Either way, my wallet is happy and my closet is full of new summer goodies! What’ve you purchased lately? Share your shopping scores in the comments below!

I love the idea of keeping track of how much you spend on things! I’m impressed with how much you got and ending up below budget! I’m coming to NYC in June and I already know I’m going to be breaking the bank on shopping. #YOLO
Girl, you are good!!!!!! What a smart idea.. I am too embarrassed to make my shopping spending (I wont even say budget because I’m not sure how that even works) public. You did good!!!

What great deals. I love the scarf and the shorts.
I love that first outfit!
These are awesome deals!!
Luckily as a man I have never had to consider a shopping budget because the better half did most of my shopping for me
yay for being under budget!!! i didn’t buy anything new this month :(((( but hopefully that will change in the months to follow haha. printed shorts are so cute!
love the dress
I always end up failing at keeping track of what I spent. Or I cheat myself, and purposively don’t write things down because they are “necessities”. Maybe I’ll do better this summer 😛
