Shopping

June Budget

June 28, 2013
June Budget

Well it is that time again… time to admit how bad I was at shopping this month. Better than May, but not much better!

1. Floral Lace Crochet Top – eBay $13.98 + FREE Shipping = $13.98

2. Printed Kimono – 10DollarMall.com $9.99 

3. Cognac Wedges – ShoeDazzle $17.11 + FREE Shipping = $17.11

4. Snakeskin Jeffrey Campbell Platforms (See here) – eBay $39.95 + FREE Shipping = $39.95

5. Brown Studded Sandals – 10DollarMall.com $9.99 

6. Red Studded Flats – ShoeDazzle $2.82 with VIP Credits! + FREE Shipping  = $2.82

7. Metallic Satchel – Nyopoly RETAIL: $95 Negotiated for $50 – $15 in Nyopoly Credits = $35.00

8. Brown Sun Hat – 10DollarMall.com $4.99 

+ $5.20 for Shipping at 10DollarMall.com

June Budget: $100

June Total: $139.03

$39.03 over budget!

So… it isn’t that I went too far over budget because honestly $39.03 isn’t going to make or break me, but I didn’t really add any items to my closet that I absolutely needed. The lace top, kimono top and Jeffrey Campbell heels were completely out of want and not necessarily the most practical for my day to day. Whoops. Otherwise, I am excited about the new wedges, red flats and strappy sandals. All of these shoes will get a ton of wear this summer. And for $4.99, this sun hat will be the perfect addition at the pool and on the weekends! Finally, my metallic satchel… I AM IN LOVE! I was looking for a cute carry-on bag, especially for my short trip to NYC in July and I fell in love with this one. I had $15 to spend towards a negotiation on Nyopoly and brought down the price from $95 to $50 and then applied my $15 to the purchase. Pretty excited about it!

    I am so impressed by the number of items you bought for only $130! I think the flat studded sandals are my favorite of your purchases!

    I still need to work on setting an actual budget myself – so I’m pretty impressed with how you’ve done, even if you did go over a little bit! A good carry on is important, so that was a good purchase!

    You are so thrifty! I am jealous. I like to look for deals online but my deals are never this good.

    Have a great weekend lady!

    All of the items were great finds… you can’t really beat yourself up over a little over budget. Just think what you would do with NO budget at all…. 😉 That crochet top is GORGEOUS.

      I know right! Where literally everything is $10 or under! AND QUALITY! I love it. Granted not everything is for me, but it is like going through the sale racks somewhere, just online 🙂 Stuff you will love and some stuff you won’t!

    I love that you’re keeping yourself accountable for your spending. I honestly need to start doing that myself. You got some great pieces and I think you did a wonderful job with your budget. 39 dollars isn’t so bad!

    Uh I love that laced top especially for that price. I should be more disciplined with spending money on clohtes but usually I love it so much and “oh I dont have anything like that in my closet” that I get it 😀 Shame on me.

    Have a great weekend dear :-*

    The hat alone is worth it for me. From these items I see kind of a boho vibe going on. Is that your summer style? I quite love the cognac heels, hat, and lace top. Wear them all together please! The lace top would make a fab swim suit cover up too.
