May Clothing Budget

Here we are at a brand new month! I just love Summer time!

This past weekend I spent much of my time outdoor working in the

yard and planting flowers! I am not sure what has gotten into

me recently but I love being out in the flower beds and working,

yes even pulling weeds!

Now onto May's Clothing Budget

Each week I put aside $20-$40 depending on what I am

looking to buy for the month to spend on clothing, shoes, and accessories.

By allowing myself this money out

of each check it makes feel good about the purchases I make and

usually helps me buy more pieces that I will use.

I don't always spend it all so I just roll it over to the next month and put

it towards a larger piece another month. For example I didn't spend the

full $160.00 so I am going to keep it for a rainy day shopping trip:)

Especially after looking at my closet and seeing all of the sandals

I currently own!! Yikes!

Here are the pieces I added to my closet in May:

I do tend to buy a lot of accessories each month

because they open up other possibilities in your closet!

Necklace: $5 (Plato's Closet)

Earrings: $5 (Plato's Closet)

Scarf: $5.00 (Plato's Closet)

I love this scarf. I am a little crazy for the color blue lately

so I know I will get a lot of wear of this piece and be able to

accessorize many outfits!

Dress: $12 (Plato's Closet)

This dress is such a fun print and actually much

prettier in person.

Fun Print Shirt: $7.00 (Plato's Closet)

I knew when I saw this shirt with all of its bright

colors it would be a piece that could go with so many

bottoms and accessories that I just had to have it!

Dress: $12.00 (Plato's Closet)

Another great dress from Plato's Closet!

Ann Taylor Dress: $10.00 (Second Hand Sam's)
The next few pieces are a steal from a local consignment shop!
Yes $10 for an Ann Taylor dress! I am so excited to wear this one.
It fits perfectly and is one of those pieces that you just feel pretty in :)
