September was a good shopping month for me, which means I didn’t spend much money. Moving to a new place (with crazy dog deposit fees) and my sister’s wedding means no spare money on clothes, shoes and accessories I don’t need. But I can’t resist shopping at least a little bit 😉
1. Statement Necklace – Statement Boutique for $19.99 + $5.00 S&H with a coupon code from Penny Pincher Fashion (Thanks Kimberly!) = $24.99
2. Mustard Blouse – Simply Vera by Vera Wang Thrifted for $8.99 (Similar)
3. Midi Skirt – Gap Thrifted for $8.99 (Similar)
4. Cardigan – Christopher & Banks Thrifted for $6.99 (Similar)
TOTAL: $49.96
YES! Under $50… that makes me extremely happy! Plus, I think having a sort of shopping ban has been good for me. I will admit that I haven’t worn a ton of things from my July buys, but I’ve already worn this necklace twice, skirt three times, blouse once and cardigan once!
Linking up with Franish for Budgeting Bloggers!
![[AD] The results are in, and they are RADIANT! My skin is glowing thanks to the Olay Regenerist Rentinol24 Night Moisturizer. I've been using this for the past few weeks in place of my regular nightly moisturizer and was so blown away by the immediate results. I have noticed so many differences in my skin, including my skin looking plumper, increased firmness, increased brightness, increased smoothness and reduced acne scarring. This night cream is going to be my go-to moisturizer for a LONG time. Not only do I get the great benefits of using a retinol, which by the way, I saw ZERO irritation with this product, I also get the great hydrating formula I've seen with other Olay moisturizers.

Woah–that necklace is AMAZING. I really need to get myself a few new statement necklaces. I’ve been stalking Bauble Bar!
Way to go coming in under $50!! And I’m loving that necklace – it’s really pretty!
I love that midi skirt! It looks so cute on you! And good job spending under $50 – that’s pretty impressive considering the great stuff you got~

Those are all great items. I’ve been budgeting a little more as well and trying to find the best deals. For examples I bought two pairs of heels for only $40 🙂

Way to go this month Rachel!
I think you did a great job! I’ve only spent $80. A bit over my budget but I REALLY wanted the Phillip Lim For Target bag! The rest are goodwill finds. I love your midi skirt Rachel!
You got 4 great items for $50, I would say that is a really successful month! Great purchases! Perhaps I should keep track of my purchases for the month… that might get ugly…

The day I spend under $50 in a month, I would like a medal or some kind of fancy recognition. Great finds!
I have been shopping too much lately. I really need to calm down when it comes to all of the beautiful items that are out there for Fall.

WOW! That is an amazing monthly budget! I’m feeling you on the pet fees (we just moved and had to pay a ton too) killing your shopping this month, but they are so worth it! Where do you go thrifting?
Hey Megan! I usually shop at Goodwill (a few locations, I’ll switch it up from time to time) but I found the blouse and skirt at a thrift store in Savage MN called Treasures Thrift Store! It is only slightly more pricey than Goodwill, but it isn’t as crowded and a lot easier to find nice brands! It is definitely going to be a new thrifting spot for me! Makes me want to take a whole weekend to discover thrift stores near by 🙂
The first outfit i love!!
The top is fab!
