August Budget Blog
Well last month I did it. I set my mind to actually keeping my $100 monthly goal and not only did I keep on budget, but I spent less than budget. I did make a decent amount of returns, but it was because things did not fit that I purchased online. This month is going to be $100 budget again. After a few months of keeping my $100 budget with no problems, I will then deduct $5 a month till I am at a sensible amount. Also I would like to completely get rid of my shopaholic tendencies.
I went a bit over, but still not too bad. It is going to take more discipline and adjustment to get into the habit of shopping less. It is very difficult when you work at a clothing store.
Budget Spent: $109.21
Budget Left: -$9.21

Ebay- Mossimo Navy and White Striped Skirt size small $8 I went into Target today, because I noticed at a different Target the skirts went on clearance. They were sold out of all the styles available in a size small. I found this one on ebay for $6 with $2 shipping which is a lot less than the clearance price tag of $16 that Target has them for. Online Target still has them at full price $22.
August 4th, 2013:
Kohls- Lauren Conrad Floral Dress size 4 $16.32 I tried on about 30 items and ended up buying three things. One I did not try on and it was too big so I returned it, the other item I changed my mind on, but I loved this dress so even though the clearance price of $24 was more than I usually spend I still got it. I do have another lauren conrad floral dress (very different from this one) that I got with all my discounts for over $20 so I do sometimes make exceptions if I love something. I wore this the same day and have a picture on instagram. I am realizing now that I am getting pickier in the fitting room, which is good. So I still try on a lot, but don't feel the need to buy a ton.
August 5th, 2013:
Kohls- Candie's Rose gold lacey scarf $1.98 This I have actually looked at a few times and never tried it on, but I tried it on today and it was only marked $2.60 on clearance so I decided to get it. I tried on more things today as well, but this was all I bought. I feel more confident in my shopping than I use to. I am buying things I love over just buying things that are cheap. Even though this was inexpensive.
August 7th, 2013:
Walmart- White scarf with black birds $4.97 I have been looking for a black and white bird print scarf for a while and this one is perfect and light weight. I have a pink scarf with a smaller bird print, but I really love this one as well.
Forever21.com- Gray and Black Varsity Jacket size Small $15.90(prior to shipping, $22.21 with shipping) I have been wanting a varsity jacket without any letters or writing on it for over a year now. All the ones I have seen have been $25-$45. I saw this one and once I saw one review posted decided it was okay to buy it. I am not going to include shipping cost as part of my budget. I would have drove to the store, but I am avoiding the mall with Forever 21 to keep my sanity, lol. After three months of keeping my budget I will let myself go to the actual Forever 21 store again. I need to be more secure with my shopping in my opinion before I can feel comfortable setting foot in the actual store. If this was not something I wanted for ages I would not of even considered spending the shipping. There has been many times things will sit in my cart on Forever21.com until there is a free shipping code, but I really love this jacket and could not risk it.
August 10th, 2013:
Kohls- Elle Capris size 2 $5.55 I have a pair of elle capris I have had for years I love so when I saw these for super cheap I picked these up. The other ones I have are a medium wash with rips these are dark wash no rips and where the cuff is there is a polkadot print which is super cute. They also fit very well. I have two pair of elle jeans, but I needed to get them in a 4, but for some reason in the capris the 2 fits me better.

I don't have many graphic tees, in my opinion. I have been wanting an olive dress but haven't seen one I loved before. This one looked great on. It is a little big in the waist, but looked great with a belt.
August 21, 2013:
Kohls.com- Candie's Studded Sneakers size 9 $12.03 I purchased these prior, but I got my Kohls order in today and this is the only item I kept from that order. I still have two more items on the way. Love these sneakers they are awesome and very much my style. Also bought them during the extra associate discount weekend, so I got an unbelievable deal.

Clothing Count Update for July 2013
It has been 10 months since I started my budget. Even though I have not kept it every month, I am curious to see if I am any closer to my clothing goal. I first made this count back in November 2012 so it has been 8 months since I made this list and my goals.
*=goal has been met
Beginning/ Current/ Goal
Tank tops: 60/39/40*
(undershirts only)
Tank tops: 40/36/30
Croptops/ Bralets: I had no goal set for this category. 2/11
Short Sleeve: 18/9/10* 8/5/8*
(basics/graphic tees)
Short Sleeve Tops: 21/16/20*
Long Sleeve Button up Shirts: 12/20/10 (inaccurate because originally I only counted my sheer ones, in this one I added 5 other shirts) So the real count would be 12/15/10
Long Sleeve Shirts: 13/8/10*
Sweaters/ Heavy Shirts: 11/6/8*
Work Tops/Pants: 22/6/15* 10/9/8
(specific clothing I will only wear for work)
Skirts: 15/18/10
Long Bottoms: 19/24/15 3/2/3*
(Jeans/ Other)
Capris: 6/3/4*
Shorts: 32/31/20
Sweatpants/ Sweatshorts: 6/6/6*

Jackets: 9/10/8
Dresses: 12/14/12
Leggings: 4/7/4 (2 are backup black leggings, not being worn until my first ones rip)
Hoodies: 9/8/8*
It is nice to see that I am close to or made most of my goals, even with my excessive spending.

July Budget Blog
This month I finally reached my goal and actually spent less than my budget. I did take off a bra purchase of $2.50 and an underwear purchase of $4 because they are needed items, either way I still stayed under $100. I have noticed that I have become more picky with my purchases and that just cause it is cheap does not mean I should buy it. I find it helpful to try on the items I've been wanting, because most of the time it does not look great on or I can find a reason not to buy it. For August I do have some items put aside that are going clearance, but a lot less than usual and I am still not 100% on those either. Sometimes the price can change my mind.
I have to be honest with myself and be a lot more strict not just on my budget, but with my thought process behind shopping. I will be doing a video on being a shopaholic and my plan to recover. No, I am not in debt, but if I keep up these shopping habits one day I will be. I cannot let shopping control me. Shopping should be a thing I have to do when I need something, not something to do when I am upset or bored. This month I hope to not even spend my budget, and I lowered it down to $100 again.
Budget Spent: $91.98
Budget Left: $8.03

Ebay- Forever 21 Olive Ripped Skinny Jeans size 28 $15 I have been wanting these for almost a year. I saw them in person almost a year ago after seeing them online and they did not have my size or anything close available. I saw these on forever 21's website for $22 but still could not justify the price. I saw the reviews say they run small, so I am usually a 26-27. I found these on ebay and decided to go for it. I have been looking for a cute pair of olive skinny jeans. I found some olive cargo capris last month, but if I love these then those will be returned. I have not worn them yet.
July 8th, 2013:
Target.com- Merona black heels size 9 (they run a half size small according to reviews) $15 I've had two pairs of black heels in my life, first pair was awful and the pair I have now are too tight on me. So if I need black heels I make myself suffer in the ones that are too tight, because I have been looking for the perfect pair. I have the perfect pair of nude pumps and feel these will be the perfect pair of black pumps. I hope, if not they will be returned and my search will continue. I feel this is a staple in any woman's wardrobe. I only own two pairs of heels.
July 11th, 2013:
Traffic- Studded cut out Oxfords size 8.5 $21.20 I love wearing my gojane studded oxfords to work, but the bottoms are breaking through and they are a few wears away from going in the trash. I have been looking for a replacement pair that is comfortable and similar. I found these and they are very comfortable and cute.
July 12th, 2013:
Kohls- So white blouse with navy polkadots size medium $11.47 I have been wanting a polka dot blouse but always felt white with black polka dots was too harsh.
July 17th, 2013:
Kohls- So neon pink tee size small $.89 Had a coupon and finally some smalls came in.
July 18th, 2013:
Charlotterusse.com- Mint sandals with metal detailing size 8.5 $4.77 I have been looking for inexpensive mint sandals or shoes for quite some time, they were originally $17.50 and I got them for $5 plus 10% off plus free shipping. I just hope they fit:)
July 25th, 2013:
Kohls- Eyelash button up olive shirt size medium $11.49, So gray and black baseball tee size medium $6.10 I have been looking for an olive shirt and this ones long enough to wear with leggings and I don't have any baseball tees minus the mudd one I have yet to get in the mail.

Forever21.com- 1 black cami size small, 2 white camis size small. $5.73 Forever 21 had a free shipping no minimum offer so I decided to stack up on a few basic camis and they are only $1.80 online which is an awesome deal. I tend to go through white camis quicker so I bought 2 white and 1 black. I wear camis under my shirt everyday so these are a necessity.
July 6th, 2013:
Ebay- Forever 21 Olive Ripped Skinny Jeans size 28 $15 I have been wanting these for almost a year. I saw them in person almost a year ago after seeing them online and they did not have my size or anything close available. I saw these on forever 21's website for $22 but still could not justify the price. I saw the reviews say they run small, so I am usually a 26-27. I found these on ebay and decided to go for it. I have been looking for a cute pair of olive skinny jeans. I found some olive cargo capris last month, but if I love these then those will be returned. I have not worn them yet.
July 8th, 2013:
Target.com- Merona black heels size 9 (they run a half size small according to reviews) $15 I've had two pairs of black heels in my life, first pair was awful and the pair I have now are too tight on me. So if I need black heels I make myself suffer in the ones that are too tight, because I have been looking for the perfect pair. I have the perfect pair of nude pumps and feel these will be the perfect pair of black pumps. I hope, if not they will be returned and my search will continue. I feel this is a staple in any woman's wardrobe. I only own two pairs of heels.
July 11th, 2013:
Traffic- Studded cut out Oxfords size 8.5 $21.20 I love wearing my gojane studded oxfords to work, but the bottoms are breaking through and they are a few wears away from going in the trash. I have been looking for a replacement pair that is comfortable and similar. I found these and they are very comfortable and cute.
July 12th, 2013:
Kohls- So white blouse with navy polkadots size medium $11.47 I have been wanting a polka dot blouse but always felt white with black polka dots was too harsh.

July 18th, 2013:
Charlotterusse.com- Mint sandals with metal detailing size 8.5 $4.77 I have been looking for inexpensive mint sandals or shoes for quite some time, they were originally $17.50 and I got them for $5 plus 10% off plus free shipping. I just hope they fit:)

June Budget Blog
My budget this month is going to be $150 again. Hopefully I can stick to it. I spent $42 at Victoria's Secret semi annual sale, $20 at Bath and Body Works semi annual sale, and $30 at Yankee Candles semi annual sale, which I should have included but decided not to:s I made many returns this month from last month which I did not take out of my budget. I also sold some items to Playtos Closet.

May Budget Blog
I realize this budget thing is not working because I keep going over every month. I need to be more strict with myself. I am going to remain at $150 for this month, but I cannot go over. Luckily it's my birthday month and I do have a paid for shopping trip midway through, so I shouldn't even have the need to spend much of my own money this month. I will mention the items and their prices even though I will be getting them as gifts. Kohls purchase prices reflected by my associate discount, the prices will be more for a normal customer.

April Budget Blog
I haven't been posting my purchases for last month as much because I know I over spent. I even am spending into this months budget. It is so hard not to shop when you are constantly around good deals. I am making my budget $150 this month, really hoping not to go over. For the Kohls items most I bought during our associate appreciation week and with my 30% off Kohls charge coupon, those are the prices after the discounts.

February Budget Blog
Last month I did extend my budget due to the multiple semi annual sales that I wanted to go to. This month I am staying at $150 and hopefully will work my way back down. I find it difficult because now all the winter clothes are going on major sales. Most of my purchases will be from Kohl's because we are now marking all our winter items clearance. It is a huge amount of clearance.
