September is over, so let's review the shopping that happened. The first 2 items were technically purchased in August, but the top hadn't arrived in the mail yet, so I wasn't sure if I would keep it. And the necklace, I just completely forgot about including, so I'm adding it now. Otherwise, I just didn't really keep track of my shopping. I was in Indy for Labor Day weekend and bought a couple things at the Gap. Then I went shopping with a friend and picked up a few more random things. And then H&M opened in town and I had to check it out. But I was pretty good and didn't buy everything that tempted me. And I couldn't find pictures of everything, so my collage is deceptively minimal. Here's the whole truth:
J.Crew polka dot popover: $24 (originally $70) (exact)
F21 Long silver necklace: $8 (exact, similar)
Gap navy skirt: $12 (originally $50) (exact)
Gap white/black tee: $7 (originally $27) (exact)
Old Navy windowpane top: $10 (originally $25) (exact)
Old Navy Pink skirt: $3 (originally $25) (this style in this color)
Old Navy white skirt: $3 (originally $25)
Gap white/gray skirt: $12 (originally $45) (this style in this color)
H&M black/gray leopard tee: $13
H&M layering tanks (gray and navy): $5 each
Total: $102 (originally $300)
This means that I'm almost exactly at budget year-to-date. I have $5.32 rolling into October!
October will probably be light (don't I say that every month?). My birthday is at the end of the month, so I am usually not supposed to buy things for myself before then. We shall see! As always, I'm linking up with Franish for Budgeting Bloggers.
I really like that windowpane top! I never would have guessed it is Old Navy, it looks pricier! Nice total for all you got!
ReplyDeleteYou scored some killer pieces! :)

You got a lot of fun items this month. Can't wait to see how you style your pink skirt.
ReplyDeleteI have that exact polka dot shirt sitting in my Wishlist. Do you like it?
ReplyDeleteYou find the best things at Gap. I really like that striped tee, a lot. Wear it soon, pleeease!
ReplyDeleteThese are some great items! That's crazy you saved over $200 off of the original prices!
ReplyDeleteI totally have some months where I buy and don't keep track of it throughout the month, I just know that I've tried to make good purchases. I think that's been one of the best things about rolling over my budgets throughout the year. That Gap tee looks like it would be super comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kate--you seem to find great things at Gap! Whenever I go, everything seems overpriced and boring, but you manage to find such cute items like that navy skirt!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the navy skirt you found! It's perfect :)
