Month One Is Over And I Am In Shock!!

I seriously can't believe it. I came in under budget for the month. This is the least I've spent on clothes in any given month in YEARS! And I don't feel a bit deprived or like I'm missing something. I'm happy with every single one of my purchases. Here they are:

Calvin Klein Black knee-length puffer: $180
Phillip Lim top: $358
Seychelles Gypsy Platforms: $95
Lucky Cut-off Denim Shorts: $60

Total Spent: $693 which is $57 under my monthly budget.

I've also learned a lot about my own style. Most importantly that I am not as preppy/classic as I thought. I like color and fun, even some edgy designs. I've also learned what I have so I don't keep buying the same basics over and over again. I'm free to spend my money on wardrobe building pieces.

Starting tomorrow I have $750 to spend and a completely readjusted attitude on shopping. Yay!!!

PS - Sucks to see that my coat is $30 off now, but I needed it so I guess I can't complain. And, on the other hand the Phillip Lim top is sold out so you really can't wait for everything to go on sale.
