Ahh, September. Probably the only time I’ll acquire both a bikini and a sweater in the same month. I guess that’s why they call it “Augustember.” (That totally caught on, right?)
September’s Budget: $513
($150 starting budget + $73 unspent in July + $34 selling old clothes + $256 blog income minus taxes)
August’s Spending: $493
My budget was smaller than last month but I still made out OK – $20 to spare! To absolutely no one’s surprise, the bulk of my money went to Loft this month. I picked up a few summery things during a flash sale when they were offering double cash cards to use later…and you better believe I used those later for some more fall-centric items! But I think my favorite purchase of the month might be the long-line vest from Express. You can see it in action here. I got a good deal on the vest too, and it’s still on sale!
I got just one complimentary item this month (the sweater above). I haven’t worn it yet, but it will make an appearance soon! There are also a couple things I couldn’t put in the collage because I got them at small boutiques in my post-beach visit to Chapel Hill. One of them is a Carolina blue plaid scarf because duh.
Did my fellow budgeting bloggers spend more on summer sales or new fall arrivals? Only one way to find out: head to Franish’s linkup.
That yellow dress is so pretty, shopping for Fall is just hard when it’s still so hot.
You got so many nice dresses That yellow one is my favourite, it’s beautiful and while summery I can see it layering up nicely for cooler weather too 🙂
Hope you have a wonderful weekend 🙂

Ooooh I was hoping you’d get that Loft shift dress! I saw it and wanted it, but decided it would look much better on you and hoped I could live vicariously through your outfits. Just like I will be with that amazing vest. Loving your color palette so far this season!
