July Budget

So I was doing pretty good at not spending too much this month, and then the Nordstrom Anniversary sale happened.  Whoops.  I was going to just buy a job interview outfit, and now I own some killer ankle boots instead.  Although the other pieces I bought were filling some holes in my wardrobe (except for the pineapple shorts, I don't think anyone has a pineapple shorts hole), since I somehow didn't own a white button down and my jean jacket no longer fit.  Oh well, I may not have come in way under budget, but at least I'm under $300!

Here's the damage for July:

Ann Taylor Pencil Skirt - originally $69.00, on sale $24.94
JCrew Factory Shorts - originally $54.50, on sale $27.00
JCrew Factory Jacket - originally $85.00, on sale $34.00
Sam Edelman Boots - originally $159.95, on sale $99.90
Ann Taylor Shirt - originally $69.50, on sale $39.50

Not Pictured:  
JCrew Factory Tee - originally $36.50, on sale & used gift card $22.97
JCrew Factory Plaid Button Down - originally $64.50, on sale $25.50

Total Spent: $273.81
Total Saved: $265.14

I'm not shopping for anything specific in August, but I assume fall clothes are going to be pretty hard to resist so we'll see how it goes.

How did you do for July?
