September Budget
It's the end of another month, so that means it's time to link up with Fran and the other budgeting bloggers to share what we spent for the month. Here are my purchases for September:
1. Loft skinny jeans: $34.75
2. Old Navy Pixie pants: $25
3. Target boyfriend cardigan- oatmeal: $12
4. Target boyfriend cardigan- black: $12 (sorry didn't have a picture of that one!)
Total = $83.75
I did end up going above my monthly budget by $3.75, but everything I got was on sale, and everything was on my clothing wish-list (and the black cardigan was a replacement item for an old black cardigan I had). I've been keeping a wish-list of clothing items I'd like to get, so hopefully that will help me keep on track when I go shopping- that I can go shopping with a purpose instead of buying things here and there.
How did you do with your monthly spending?

All of these pieces are great basics that you will wear all of the time! Black jeans are on my wishlist. Love the Loft skinny's you got!

Black jeans would definitely go with a lot! Such a great basic!
DeleteYou got a lot of great stuff for fall and winter. I keep a wishlist as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that keeping a list will make me more accountable for what I buy! (hopefully!)
DeleteI think you went over by such a small fraction for items that you'll wear over and over again that you can absolutely forgive yourself. I got two of those Target cardigans (as you know), and I wish I bought more of them!
ReplyDeleteI wish I would have gotten more too! Or gone earlier in the week when more of the colors/designs were in stock :)
DeleteI think you did a great job! And the pieces you got are obviously so versatile that you'll be sure to get your money's worth!
ReplyDeleteI definitely think I got my money's worth on the jeans- I pretty much wear them multiple times a week! haha
DeleteI feel like everyone is getting their jeans at Loft lately. I have been on the hunt for a new pair for myself, but haven't tried on any at the Loft yet. I think you did really well this month!
ReplyDeleteI'd never thought of looking at Loft either, but I really like how these fit and feel! I think this may be my new store for jeans!
DeleteI love both pants you got, especially the Pixie by Old Navy. I have heard great things about them. =)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ada! I'm so glad I got these pants- they are so comfortable and great for work!
DeleteI am so glad you got the Pixie pants - aren't they so comfortable?! I can't stop wearing mine :)
ReplyDeleteThey are super comfortable! I've been wearing them at lease once a week (maybe twice!)
