{recap} Wardrobe Challenge - April

I'm back from my European Adventure! And just in time for my wardrobe recap! I went on my trip with a list of items I wanted to buy. A "big" item in each place (Paris, London, Greece) and gifts. I ended up not really buying clothes/accessories in London and Paris but made up for it in Greece with some Chanel sunglasses (wanted these, but went for a cheaper pair) and a new pair of Ancient Greek Sandals (the only specific thing on my list)

UPDATE: Added what I bought at Clinton Crossing's Spring Preview event and jeans I forgot to add earlier!


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

    5. I always plan to buy a big item when we travel, but I rarely do. I think the cost of eating out everyday leaves me a little too stunned! Your new gems are stunning!
