Budgeting Bloggers: November

Hey, friends. I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday full of good food, family, and fun. OK, enough about you. Let’s talk about me and what I added to my closet this month. I didn’t get a huge number of things, but several of my picks were things on my “shopping list,” meaning they were somewhat more practical and not just “oh-hey-this-looks-fun!” purchases. I wanted to get more office-appropriate pants, and I got 3 pairs! Go me. Plus I replaced an old black turtleneck that bunched up strangely at the elbows. But don’t worry, I still had fun purchases like the blue camo loafers and mint coat. Here are all the dirty details…

My Budget

• ~$111 ($150 starting budget minus $39 overspent in October)
• ~$198 (blog income)
• ~$70 (sold old clothes)

=$379

What I Spent

• ~$74 on blue ponte pants, gray ankle pants, and black turtleneck from Target
• ~$0 on my Le Tote subscription (normally $49, but had 2 referral bonuses!)
• ~$30 on blue camo flats from Sole Society (orig. $60)
• ~$115 on mint coat from Nordstrom
• ~$78 on pants from J. Crew (I got them in green) (orig. $98, 25% off)
• ~$66 on clear sunglasses from C. Wonder (seen here, not available online) (orig. $78, convinced store to honor my 20% off online coupon – law school was worth it)

=$363 (total retail value $474)

What I Received
