Thrift Finds- (when thrift shopping I don't always look at size, as you can see below a wide variety of sizes can fit me. Many things are older or have been shrunken, so keep that in mind when thrifting. My main goal on this trip was to get work pants and overall higher rise pants because my low rise ones are very uncomfortable on my body. I succeeded on getting 4 work pants, dark wash jeans, and a pair of burgundy jeans (my other ones were ready for the trash). I have also been on a hunt for an anorak for quite some time now. The other 2 items I cannot justify, I will wear them to work but I did not need them. I just could not leave them behind.)

I find myself wanting to buy less things, so hopefully this month I can actually keep to my budget. There are not many things I want or need.
The Dr.Martens I purchased as work shoes so I don't mind that I went over my budget with that purchase. I have issues with my feet from the accident I was in and I am on my feet over 8 hours everyday.

Days Left Until End Of Month:3

 I am aware that I did go over my budget this month, but I actually bought less and only things I needed/ were on my list. I realized buying a bunch of things because they are cheap was not helping me, but just making me more aggravated when it came to looking through my closet. I have always kept a list of things I am looking for, but now I finally made a huge dent in it. Everything here was on that list except the forever 21 top, but I had a gift card and was looking for something that was nice for work that was not black, gray, or burgundy because that is the majority of my closet.

  

Forever 21- Blush Lace Peplum Top Size Small- $8 (was $17.80, but I used the remaining value on a gift card to cover the rest), Gray Long Sleeve V Neck Size Small $10

Ebay- Mossimo Booties Size 9 $20 

Kohls- Unionbay Olive Pants Size 3 $14  
            Candie's Reversible Black/White Chiffon Cami Size Medium (free, because I used kohls cash and a store credit)
