Wow! As of this post, I have been sharing my clothing purchases and budgets with you for a year! While I'm still not a perfect budgeter (see below), I have definitely learned to be more intentional about my spending and I don't binge shop like I used to.
I seem to have been drawn towards neutrals this month with the exception of a very bright dress (which made for the perfect birthday ensemble). I added the black counterpart to this dress to my closet because I loved the polka dot version so well. I stepped outside my comfort zone by purchasing my very first romper. It is so comfortable that I'm never turning back! And finally, these elastic-waisted, printed shorts are perfect for staying cool during the summer months!
1. Milly Dress: Original Price- $68 Price Spent- $52.20
2. Old Navy Jersey Fit and Flare Dress: Original Price- $24.95 Price Spent- $24.94
3. H&M Romper: Original Price- $17.95 Price Spent- $17.95
4. Old Navy Shorts: Original Price- $24.95 Price Spent- $24
Total Remaining from First Quarter- $20.08
Total Spent May- $119.10
Total Spent this Quarter- $259.05
Total Saved this Quarter- $79.55
Total Remaining- -$9.05
So I went about ten dollars over my quarterly budget. No big deal, right? Well, I also splurged and bought a few things for my birthday (that I will feature in a different post). Birthday coupons were my budget downfall last year as well. What I'm learning is that perhaps I should set a few extra dollars aside every May to treat myself. What do you think?
