October in Review

October, how are you over and done already? Bye bye beautiful leaves, here's how it went down:

Buys:

Modcloth Cardigan - Birthday Gift; Old Navy Dress and Top - Free with Gift Card; Claire's Earrings

Amazon; Unpictured Purse from TJ Maxx ($18)

Total: $49

I didn't spend a whole lot this month. I did a huge closet clean out a few weeks ago and have been really focused on only bringing things in that I'll really use, as well as employing the 1 in, 1 out rule. It's working so far.

I won a gift card from Go Chic or Go Home last month and knew right away what I wanted to spend it on. This adorable dress that Fran recommended. It's super cute and I love it. The top has also already gotten a lot of wear. It's insanely comfortable and versatile.

I've also decided to institute a shopping ban from now until the end of the year. Headed into the holidays it feels like as good of a time as any to step back and just be thankful for what I have. Also, I need to save my spending money and redirect it towards Christmas presents. :-)
