So I said I was going to look for some summery tanks and tees in June. Whoops. The navy top is a sweatshirt material, which isn't really summery, so really all I managed was two $5 tees from Old Navy. Instead I got a couple more skirts (note to self: stop. buying. skirts.), a maxi that's proved to be super versatile, the perfect little red dress that I might wear to a wedding this summer (once I confirm with the bridesmaids that they are not, in fact, wearing red, since I know the colors are red and black), and this convertible clutch that I am basically in love with (exhibit A).
Here's the damage for June:
JCrew Shirt: originally $75.00, on sale $26.99
Loft Lace Skirt: originally $79.50, on sale $19.99
Gap Maxi Dress: originally $74.95, on sale $44.97, used rewards $32.97
Sunday in Brooklyn Red Dress: originally $79.00, on sale $59.25
JCrew Factory Printed Skirt: originally $69.50, on sale $28.92
Ann Taylor Bag: $78.00
Old Navy White Tee: originally $9.50, on sale $5.00
Not Pictured:
Old Navy Peach Tee: originally $9.50, on sale $5.00
Total Spent: $256.12
Total Saved: $218.83
So under budget once again! To be fair, I was actually over budget for a while, but didn't want to have to come on here and say I was over so decided to return something I didn't end up loving.
Holy cow, we're halfway through 2014 already. My $300 budget has been working out pretty well so far. Here's how I've done over the previous five months:
January: $431.92
February: $263.22
March: $281.80
April: $270.70
May: $266.42
Total spent so far in 2014: $1,770.18
Which means I'm currently under budget for the year by a grand total of $29.82, so I'm basically right on track.
I'm not sure how I'll do coming up in July. Since I'm currently riding the unemployment train, I'm going to try to only buy things I need. Like a killer interview outfit, and new shoes for the gym to appease my physical therapist. Hopefully I can manage to stay way under budget!
How did you do for June?
