Shopping Budget: February 2014

Skirt The Rules Shopping Budget February 2014

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!
