what i bought this month {january budget)

I can’t even believe that tomorrow is February first. January was a fun month. First there was new year’s, we’re all getting back to work after the holidays, then there was my birthday (I turned 31 and so far, it’s definitely better than 30), then we got a snow storm thing, and now the weather is getting warmer and it’s time to get ready for spring.

A few weeks ago, as you probably read on my blog, I had a mold incident that pushed me to do a serious clean-out of my main closet (don’t judge me, I live in an old house so I have to use multiple closets all around the house). I’m glad that I did, because I need more space (in general) and I needed some extra space for my new things.

Here’s what I got this month:
January 2016 budget - what I bought this month

  1. Brooks Brothers Supima cotton five-pocket jeans, $62 on sale (plus $15 for tailoring)
  2. Bill Murray xmas tee $2, thrifted (I can’t wait to wear this next christmas!)
  3. L.L.bean outdoors shirt $2, thrifted
  4. Banana Republic blue v-neck tee $1.50, thrifted
  5. Adidas cropped pants $2, thrifted
  6. Cats sleep tee $2.50, thrifted
  7. Hobo bag – $24, Clothes mentor (minus a few things that I sold)
  8. Hobo bag – $40, Consignment store (minus a discount and a credit from selling stuff)
  9. Adidas Supergirl Tukana jacket (gift from hubby)

Total = $151 … okay so a bit over my budget but not too bad considering it was my birthday month and all.

Oh and by the way, I’ve decided to nix the monthly budget of $100 in favor of a quarterly budget of $375. Which means I’ve got $224 left for the quarter.

Now it’s your turn – how did you do this month?

As always, I’m linking up with Franish.

this #TST is a 90s nostalgia #TBT

So for this week’s Thrift Style Thursday, I will be doing a Throw Back Thursday post. I am just not a huge fan of 90s fashion and what little I do like (Doc Martens, plaid, etc) I have already worn on the blog plenty of times.

So for fun, here are some pics of me wearing awesome 90s clothes in the 90s. I was a pretty big tomboy and wore a lot of athletic wear a. I guess I’ve always like Sporty Spice 🙂

I hope you enjoyed seeing my in my favorite 90s outfits. Now it’s your turn to spill the beans: what is your favorite 90s fashion (or any kind of) fad?

sporty and spicy {a thrift style thursday post}

So, I love wearing sporty clothes. Do I actually use these clothes for their intended purpose? No, but who cares? And I’ve had a love affair with Adidas since middle school. Also, Sporty Spice (aka Melanie C) was and still is my favorite Spice Girl.

Oh and today is my 3 year blog-aversary. Wow, I can’t believe it’s been 3 years already! Thanks so much to all of you for being my friends, readers, sources of inspiration;)
