November Budget Blog



Hey everyone here are my purchases for November, including my thoughts on the purchases I have made. My currently weekly budget on clothing, shoes, makeup and other items that are not food, gas, or bills is about $22. So that makes my monthly budget $100. Last month I slipped, seeing as I went on vacation and planned on going to a huge mall. This month it is back to cracking down.

Budget Spent: $117.75

Budget Left: -17.75 BOO Not good

Days Left Until End of Month: 1

November 1st 2012: Kohls- Candy Corn Candle- $7.20 Halloween candle I really loved so I repurchased the last one in stock at my job, since they went on clearance. I don't need any more candles so I won't be purchasing any unless there is a winter scent I really love. Fall is actually my favorite for candles and clothing for that matter. 

November 9th 2012: Kohls- Candie's Polka Dot Skinny Jeans- $7.35 It has been 8 days since my last purchase. I notice my willpower getting a bit stronger when it comes to shopping. I think more before making a purchase. These are something I actually have wanted but forgot about because they were too expensive. These went on clearance and I saw them while working. I have not actual looked for clothing since last month. I also rarely buy bottoms, and this is now my second pair of printed bottoms:)

November 10th 2012: Kohls- Elle Breast Cancer Awareness Tee (XS) $2.12, About a Girl Sheer Polkadot Top (M) $8.57: Total $11.11



November 11th 2012: Yankee Candle- All $1 each 3 car jars(2 vanilla cupcake 1 Christmas cookie) and 6 votive candles (2 Peppermint Bark, 2 Buttercream, 1 Red Velvet, 1 Sun & Sand)- $9.54 Yankee got me with their sale, lol. I had to smell the newer Holiday scents as well. Hopefully this is the last bit of candles I buy for some time. 




Pacsun- Kirra XS Coral Cut Out Shoulder Top $10.49, Lira S Black Triangle/Tribal Print Top $6.29- $17.79 Total The Pacsun in the mall by me is closing so everything was on an extra sale. This was all I found that I really wanted and was a decent price. The tribal top I am not 100% sure I love but it is so soft so I got it anyway. It looks good on I just don't know how often I will wear it. Sadly it is final sale because of the store closing. 


November 16th 2012: Kohls- Owl Gloves ($3.40), Hello Kitty Tee ($4.08), Candie's White Button Up ($5.82): Total $14.08 With Tax

 
I love owls and these gloves are super cute, couldn't pass them up. They are great because they can be worn finger-less or as mittens.

This shirt is one size too big but its okay. It is so cute. And I usually only get v neck graphic tees, because I am not a fan of crew neck.

I have a white button up sleeveless top that just doesn't fit right so I have been looking to replace it. This is more an ivory color but it works just the same. It is long enough to wear with leggings and has a cute crochet detail on the top part of the back. I also like the two toned detail. I would pair with black leggings.


November 17th 2012: Target- Coral Skinny Jeans (Size 2) In Fit 4 $13.98, Lavender(violet) Skinny Jeans (Size 2) In Fit 3 $13.98: Total $29.63
 
Been looking for this exact coral shade for a while so I had to pick these up. Also I never buy bottoms, lol.

I recently sold my light lavender colored skinny jeans because they didn't fit well. So these will replace them.


November 18th 2012: Kohls-  Lauren Conrad- Crochet/Lace top (S) $4.75 I've wanted this shirt previously but it's been a while since we've had it in stock. Someone returned it today, tags attached and all. I just had to buy it. Not really fall appropriate for most areas, but for where I live it's fine, lol.
