Well guys … I knew there would come a time when I would regret putting my spending habits out in the open for everyone to see.  I’m slightly embarrassed about how much I spent in June, but there were some investment pieces that just needed to be had.  For starters: this bright red anorak jacket for summer storms, a similar khaki anorak that I found in Chicago after it had been sold out for two months and a black leather trim trench coat (spring version here) that is completely out of season but will be an essential wardrobe staple come fall.

I know, I know — I can justify it all I want but the truth of the matter is that this month’s purchases was slightly outrageous. Luckily, I came in under budget for most of the year so far, leaving me only $25 over budget for the year to date.  I would say time to reel it in, but today officially kicks off my birthday month which means I probably won’t be acting fiscally responsible until August.  Can I get a YOLO?
