Last week I was bad again.  First, on Wednesday night I was checking out ASOS for High Tea dresses. I narrowed down from about 15 that were under $200 to 2.  I decided to order both of them and return one or both depending on how they looked and if I found something better/cheaper.  I also found an AMAZING sweater by A|Wear and bought it even though it was $45. That was a HUGE splurge for me, especially considering I get most of my pieces for $30 or under...but I think it will be a great piece for summer so it's okay. So here are my new pieces, I can't wait for them to arrive (click to go to the product pages):

Also, I've been lusting over the Zara leopard skirt (and dress) for MONTHS and I found a seller on eBay who had them for $30! Jamie-Lee reminded me how much I wanted it when she wore it in a recent outfit post, so I quickly checked eBay and it was there!
FINALLY I went to TJ Maxx on Saturday to do some more High Tea searching, I also wanted to find some tops and bottoms since they are sorely lacking in my wardrobe and I can't wear dresses all summer (well I could, but I should mix it up). I didn't find any dresses but there were a bunch of nice tops and I walked out with 3. I almost bought a green lace maxi skirt but it wouldn't have gone with anything in my closet. I may just go to the fabric store and make my own...would be cheaper.  Anyway, here are the 3 tops I got, they came to about $38.
So there you have it...we're only a week into the month and three quarters my budget is gone on 5 items. The dresses don't count because I budgeted myself $200 for my High Tea dress/outfit in my London spending. :) But just watch, I'll end up wearing a dress I already have to High Tea because nothing else will be good enough. *sigh* (but at least that means I'll be returning stuff)

I'm also thinking of returning that Proenza Schouler for Target dress I got but I can't decide...GRR! Getting $40 back would be nice, but I do love the dress...
