September Budget

So I haven't posted about my monthly budgeting in a while. I did have a rough patch in August (and it was my birthday month) I went a little crazy and couldn't even begin to tell you what I bought or how much I spent.. but I'm back today to share with you my September spending! ;)

Shopping always makes me happy... DUH!



My newest found love is Bradsdeals.com

 

 24.99 @  MyJewerlyBox.com

 

This counts as an accessory right?  haha 

Got this for 3.99 shipped! HERE

Last week, I was telling everyone how good I was doing 

on not going to Kohls, JcPennys or Macys.. and my mom just 

had to bring into JcPennys right?!
So this is what I picked up from there.

Got these a.n.a. Boyfriend Jeans + another pair of dark pair also

For everything I spent around $80.00

May Budget

I've got to admit I have been doing some serious shopping! BUT the good thing is that I really didn't spend a lot of money! 

 Here are just a few things I bought...

 Practically Free

Around $25.00 for both the shoes & sports bra

 $11.00

 $5.00

(I had cash on my paypal account, so my leftover balance for these prescription glasses was around $5!) You can see my post about Firmmo --> HERE

KOHL'S CASH SAVED ME THIS MONTH!

So I'd like to think I stayed I budget this month!! yay considering I spent a lot money on other things.

March Budget

So I started keeping track of what I spend, and hopefully trying to stay within a reasonable budget. My new love for thrifting has become something that I do to help my retail therapy... when I'm stressed, I shop... It's actually a really bad habit. 



Before last month I used to always go crazy shopping... until I found the perfect thrift store. I have been working here in Williamsburg for almost a year & just now going to it. It's my local Goodwill. It's not your average Goodwill. Well not for me anyways. It's right next to very "high end" college campus. William and Mary....



It's color coordinated and very reasonable prices! I'm talking $1.99 for a tank top! doesn't matter the brand!  I haven't been able to actually just go in and look and when I did go my phone was dead so I couldn't get a picture but here are just some of the things I got this past month...

 

Jacket - $5 Thrifted

Dress - $2 Thrifted

Leggings - $2 on sale @ Charlotte Russe

Boots - $20 on sale @ Charlotte Russe
Watch - $10 Wal-Mart

     

 Jacket  - $5 Walmart 

Shirt - $1.99 Thrifted

Boots - $23 Gifted Madden Girl

 

Also- 

My budget was $50.

So I spent a total of :$60.

As a beginner with a shopping addiction I think I did great! I set my budget really low, in hopes to keep my shopping to a minimal...It kind of worked.. So I think I'll keep a reasonable budget for the next few months.



I'll keep it at $75. for the next few months.

Hi, My Name is Christin & I have a Secret

I'm addicting to shopping!

&this isn't even half of it

drawers full

 basket full

 most just chillin on my bed (im lazy)

it's a HOT MESS! & I definitely don't wear all that!

I have seen many pages for thrifting and budgeting so I think I'll do both!  I'm going to stay away from department stores from now on! Even if it kills me. I have to!

---I am going to turn myself into a budgeting fashonista!



Alright so I'm no fashonista. I can barely pick out my own clothes. LOL but I love seeing outfits on all these blogs, or pinterest, & it just makes me go even more GA GA when they say they went to thrift store to buy them! I think I have found one good deal at the thrift store.. and it wasn't even a thrift store. It was a damn yard sale! 

this Emilie M. purse cost me a dollar

On that note let's talk about the thrift stores here in Virginia. Maybe it's just the thrift stores in my area aren't good? Maybe I'm not looking hard enough or maybe I'm skipping things that just doesn't look like something I'd wear but it is the same thing you have on in that picture!  Either way, I need to stick to a budget as far as clothes. Whether I splurge on one pair of shoes, or thrift ten things.



I came across Franziska @ Franish  when I first started blogging and have been drawn back to her page through multiple blogs. She is pretty awesome! She has a monthly budget for her clothes.. and has a link up for it! So I'll be joining her at the end of every month to share what I bought and if I went over/under my budget!

I also will be linking up with Shana @ ColorBlind with the thrifters anonymous.



My budget will be $50.00 for now. I vow never to step into a department store (unless someone else is buying lol)
