After last month I didn't plan on buying anything this month. Sales almost got me a few times but nothing really called to me. I still would like some new Summer dresses that are easy to throw on, but haven't found those magic pieces yet. 

I spoke too soon when writing this post. On Saturday Christian and I were a little early to a lunch spot we wanted to visit and there was a Marshalls next door so we popped in for a quick look. I found a few things but ended up just picking up a pair of light purple linen shorts.

This month I engaged a bit of retail therapy. My mom and I spent a morning at Home Goods and Marshalls. I resisted buying anything at Home Goods even though I wanted a new comfy blanket. I wasn't so lucky at Masrhalls. I tried on a couple "fun" things I knew I wouldn't buy as well as a couple clearance finds which I ended up purchasing.  Then later that week I went out with Christian and got a new blanket at Home Goods, ha ha! Of course, right after that I got approved for a sponsored post at Ocean State Job Lot and ended up with another blanket from there, so now we've got two new blankets!

I did buy a couple dresses this month, but they aren't fashionable in the least, haha! I bought them to be easily packable in my Day Owl backpack/don't care if they get wrinkly for my trip to Florida this week. They'll be comfy in the heat, have pockets and I'll fit right in at the specific location we're going, ha ha. I had a leftover gift card from Christmas that covered one of the dresses so it was $26 for both. Almost bought a pair of jean shorts like I've been saying I'll do for months, but the wash was slightly off.
