{May} Monthly Budget

Remember that time I said I wasn't going to be free to blog until July? Oh that was yesterday? Well I decided to finish a post I had been working on.... until we meet again.

I'm going to try to keep myself honest by posting the items I buy each month and help myself stick to a budget and purchase less on impulse and more based on necessity. In May I spent a bit more than usual, but it was a new season, and I was just coming off my Lenten Shopping Diet. I don't plan to use much of my budget in June. I'd like to keep my budget between $100-$150 monthly for clothing/accessories/shoes. We shall see how I do.

(Top Left-Clockwise: TJ Maxx Sheer Top x 3- $38.97, Polka Dot Dress $24.50, Polka Dot Shrug $29.40, Leopard Print Sandal $20.00)

(From Left to Right: BR Sloan Fit Crop Pant. $60 with coupon, Mix Print Open Cardigan 22.80, Vera Jeans $26.25)

Total=$221.92


On my June shopping list:
-Colored Denim
-A piece of jewelry from my trip to DC. I want to start getting a fun piece of jewelry from every place I travel to.
-A summer dress or skirt

Bear With Me

Ready for my excuses?

I've been absent (as usual).
Things have been crazy at work in prep for an upcoming food show we attend in D.C.
It will be over and done with after June 20th, and my life should be back on track.
By then I just may have a new blog design (by Andrea) ironed out, and plan to have some blog posts coming your way. Here is an Inspiration Board of sorts that I have created on Pintrest for my new blog design.
Until then, I will spend what little free time I have out enjoying the sunshine with friends at things like this.


I do hope you stick around, because I do plan to come back. Much love readers.
