January Purchases

I didn’t list this in my new year’s resolutions, but I put myself on a clothing budget. It isn’t an outright ban on shopping and it is still probably more than one middle-class person should spend per month. Since November, I’ve been on a $100/month diet. Starting this month, I’ll show you what I got with it at the end of the month. (Hopefully, this doesn’t peter out like last year’s Recession Challenges. I’m so ashamed.)

1. Twist Lace Overlay Blazer (Forever 21), $27.80
2. Shanti Studded Boot (Forever 21), $24.80
3. Troop Military Vest (Forever 21), $19.84.
4. Washi owl cuff (Pangaea), $30.67.



5. Fab Cheetah Skinny Belt (Forever 21), $2.50. I haven’t worn it yet. Doh.

The total was $105.61 (actually $120.01 when you add the tax and shipping from my F21 order). I’ll do better next month.

Speaking of next month, I’ve got my eye on a couple of pieces at JC Penney and I’m longing to do more than window shop Shock Boutique. What’s on your shopping list for February?
