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!

 This wasn't very popular but back in the day this was my favorite song! you know bein like 16 thinkin that you were the shit and all .. thinkin that everyone wanted to taste your (BLEEP) ice cream! hahahaha 

It's ok...I'm Thrifty

I'm really loving that I'm getting the hang of this writing stuff. If I could actually sit and write everyday I would!! I have soooo many topics lined up, it's crazy.. in the beginning I think it was more just of something to do, now that I found a lot of inspiration for topics.. I can't pick when and how I want to post them!so for now they might all just clash together, and some days just be totally random =)







anyways, I haven't linked up with Amber for a while so here ya go, just a few confessions for the past couple days..haha













It's ok... that the pictures I took with my galaxy 3 (head shots) came out better then the pictures with my moms iphone (full body pictures)







It's ok..  that I bought this blazer from wally world... It was on sale for $5.00! who wouldn't?!



It's ok... that I took this waiting for Joe to get done at his new job interview! (im super excited about it, but he had me out there all day) ------>



and it is definitely ok.... that my hair was a hot mess ...ooops lol

[Madden Girl boots Joe bought me, originally $89.00 he bought them for $23.00]

[the shirt I got for $2.00 from a thrift store in Williamsburg] 

It's ok..  that I said I wasn't going to go into a department store and buy anything anymore but when I go for other people...I can't help it..It's like a drug. haha At least I'm thrifty cheap with it!! =)



It's ok... that I really haven't been eating like I should, because when I'm out or at work, there's nothing but junk food and I don't want it! So my calorie intake isn't has much as it should be. I been trying to eat little protein bars or shakes to fill in.. let's hope it works! 

its ok.. that these pictures are hilarious. ^^^^^^^   Joe took them lol I know that no one posts every picture they take but these were just too funny to not show y'all.. btw can you see his finger in every picture? hahahah ok.....



have a great day everyone!!

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)



now check out these great pins of thrift store outfits!
