{recap} Wardrobe Update - February

Starting very soon I won't be able to buy as many pieces of clothing as I've become accustomed to. So it's a good thing I got a head start this month and didn't add anything new to my closet. And I've gotten this far so I might as well try to give up clothes shopping for Lent this year, right? One month to go!

UPDATE: Okay, I lied. I just got back from a quick lunch break trip to Roundabout because they were having their blowout sale (80% off clothes + shoes and an additional 20% off clearance). I ended up walking out with a $348 Robert Rodriguez dress for $16.80! Still going to try to go through all of March with no buying though.





THE (modified) RULES

  1. Be mindful of purchases 
  2. Quality over quantity

    You can do it! I just realized I totally unintentionally didn't buy anything new this month either...maybe I'll try to ride that into March.

    $20 for the year is pretty impressive, even if only has been two months, and you can't resist a deal on a dress that good!

    Okay, wow! You did well only getting on dress in that amazing sale, what a bargain! I'd go nuts with discounts like that, haha! :) You are adjusting to having a smaller clothes shopping budget too with so few purchases this year!

    Hope you are having a great week so far! First day of autumn here in Brisbane, although the weather is still very summer-like, ha!
