Budgeting Bloggers: June

June Budget Breakdown

If you’ve ever worried about the future of the Ann Taylor/Loft company, fear not. I will single handedly keep them in business. Here’s my budget confession report for June 2014.

My Budget:

  • +$126 (starting budget $150, minus $24 overspent in May)
  • +$104 (sold old clothes – you can read more about how I do that here)
  • +$143 (blog income)

      = $373

What I Spent:

      = $430 (total retail value: $885)

As you can see, I went $57 over my budget this month. But the thing is… HEY! WHAT’S THAT OVER THERE?!?! I THINK IT’S A DISTRACTION!

Thanks as always for following along! Check out the other budgeting bloggers over at Franish.

 

My [Shopping] Week in Over-Processed Photos

When I was a kid, my parents used to tell me that money burned a hole in my pocket. Not much has changed. I got some cash for Christmas, and after a pre-holiday shopping fast, I was ready to rumble. For this installment of MWOPP, I thought I’d stick with a theme and show you some of my fabulous finds.

Scored these babies from J. Crew for less than half the original price! The gold heel is just too damn adorable.

Another sale find, this one from Ann Taylor. They’re classy and fun at the same time, and look pretty friggin cute with the new shoes too.

I finally found some flattering faux leather leggings for a reasonable price at Arden B. I’m thinking the leggings with this tunic from Macy’s will make for a nice combo for a casual dinner party I’m going to next weekend.

My winter wish list included a bold pencil skirt, and I’m thinking this bright green number with lace overlay is pretty bold. Mission complete.

And finally, these awesome pumps from Sole Society are somewhere on a UPS truck on their way to me! I’m starting an internship next week, so that’s my excuse for buying heels.
