- Strappy Metallic Sandals – Kohls (tried to find in store but couldn’t so ordered online): $21.97 + $0.43 in tax + $5.99 S&H = $28.35 I bought these for the wedding I’m in this summer. She decided on silver for the jewelry and shoes and we found these on super sale and thought they would be perfect!
Total: $167.02
I went over my budget by $17.02 this month. For me, that isn’t THAT BAD and if I hadn’t bought that extra workout tank for $17 I would have been on track. Oh well, could have been worse (those sales just get me!) The only thing I bought in Vegas was the striped sweater. It was great for the plane ride home and I know I will get a lot of use out of it. I have been working really hard to reduce my budget and stick to it… until this month, I was on track (see January’s budget here and February’s budget here).
Next month my budget is going down even more, $100. Wish me luck!

Thanks Ginny! I was very excited about the deal because I've been wanting a necklace like this for awhile! 🙂
Darn you for putting your workout clothes in your budget! I’ve had my eye on a pair of Lululemon pants at my gym (on sale!) but I was hoping to buy them next month under the radar…but now I HAVE to put them in the budget! That top you won from LC is so cute!

LOL! AJ I’m sorry! You don’t have to, but for me it makes sense. I haven’t purchased new workout clothing in awhile and I wanted to buy more quality stuff that will last a long time. The leggings and tops I’ve gotten from Ellie are amazing, so I know that even though it is more than I would normally pay, I’m getting some items that will last me a long time!
That’s so good that you follow your spending so closely. I started doing that as well.

I’ve been seeing metallic pumps all OVER the place lately. I think that was a fantastic buy.
I love all your silver shoes! I also add my workout clothes to my budget, but only because I really need to track how much I am spending on them!
that blush pink necklace is everything. Obsessed. I hope you had a fabulous weekend, love. xo

What? you only bought one sweater in Vegas? LOL every time I go, I go crazy with shopping. I mean, there’s not much else to do during that day, right? That gigantic Forever 21 and the Zara (we don’t have one here in Seattle) always kill me. And one time I bought a pair of $50 LaCoste super short shorts that I instantly regretted once I got home but was unable to return.
Love all your work-out gear that you got!
wow! good luck! I know it’s very hard to stay on a budget ((
