{recap} Wardrobe Update - September



  Friday, September 30, 2016 at 7:30 AM   |    Post a Comment     Tagged:,,, 
This month I had a big chunk of advertising (and side hustle) money burning a hole in my pocket. I used a LOT of self control and only made one purchase with it - an order from Abercrombie during their Labor Day sale. I'm hoping to save the rest of it to pay for my portion of an airbnb for London this New Years! But who knows, something crazy may catch my eye and I'll be badddddd.




THE (modified) RULES
  1. Be mindful of purchases 
  2. Quality over quantity
  3. Basics are best

  1. I really love the color of that sweater! So pretty! And I'm impressed with your total spending for the year. I'm scared to add up what I've spent!

  2. I stopped adding mid year. I don't want to know at this point how much I have spent.
    I think you have done quite well and stuck to your rules. I could have never done it.

  3. You've made it to the last quarter of the year and you've done so well! Love the cords, I'm excited to see if Abercrombie keeps on this path and becomes a brand I want to see more of in my closet.
