My April Budget


































Here's what I bought in the month of April! My planned purchases for the month were the red and blue skirts, top row. I had bright mini-skirts on my wish list for color blocking, and found exactly what I was looking for at Forever 21. Colorful cardigans are another item (always) on my wish list, so adding this teal number from H&M was a no-brainer. Fun purchases for the month included the rainbow print shirt from Forever 21 and the army vest from Banana. The vest is a unique piece that while it wasn't on my wish list, the price was excellent and I have absolutely nothing like it in my closet, so I went for it! Finally, my practical purchase of the month was the American Eagle jean shorts, that will mostly get worn while I'm walking the dogs. :-) What were some of your great buys this month?
  1. Forever 21 orange skirt, $16
  2. Banana Republic army vest, $35
  3. Forever 21 blue skirt, $12
  4. H&M teal cardigan, $18
  5. American Eagle denim shorts, $30
  6. Forever 21 rainbow shirt, $16               = Grand total, $127

  1. Great deals on the skirts! And I love the colors. I just don't understand why shorts cost so much! Mos shorts are the same price as my favorite jeans! Less fabric = more money? Um..why?!

  2. museumgirl22 That's so true! I never thought about it that way, but I have gotten tons of jeans for that price so it should seem expensive to me to pay that for shorts. Too funny.

  4.  I had the same vest in my shopping cart then decided not  to get it.  It wasn't $35 though, maybe that's why I left it behind.  You definitely got a deal!

  5. Same principle for kids' clothes! Kids' clothes don't go on sale as often though so they end up being more expensive. Doesn't make any sense to me.

    Kristin,prices are always way higher online at Banana and Gap. Someone just wrote on my Facebook wall today that they just bought this vest for $13.58 in the store today! I've heard at least 3 other people say they paid around $20, so I barely even got a good deal!

  11. Wow!! Guess what J? I just bought that skirt (because I love the way you wear it) and that shirt (because I saw it online and then in the store and loved all the colors)!! You inspire me to put more thought into my everyday wear (especially for work) and I've been taking tons of tips from your blog to make improvements. Thanks!
