Summer Must Haves

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!

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!
