{recap} Wardrobe Update - February

I almost made it through the month without buying any clothes. But then Roundabout sent an email yesterday morning about their winter blowout. 80% off clothes and shoes!! AHH! So I went hoping I wouldn't find anything and I walked out with 3 jackets...whoops!

One is a white blazer which normally isn't my style, because I'm afraid of getting white dirty, but I was drawn to it so now I have to be brave and wear white! Next up is a Sandro Paris burgundy blazer. I've been wanting something from Sandro for quite a few years but could never pull the trigger on anything because they're so pricey. Last is a purple Rag & Bone wool jacket with leather details. I liked it because it's like a blazer but since it's knit that makes it a little more casual.

I'm hoping to get back on track with my no shopping next month, but we'll see! You know I can never pass up an amazing deal if I see one. And I have a $15 credit for The RealReal expiring....

Colors are off a bit in these photos but I took them last night so the lighting wasn't the best. The perils of buying something the day before my wardrobe update is posted!

    That white one is really gorgeous - I'm sure you'll be able to keep it very crisp and clean!

    They are all beautiful blazers, especially that burgundy one! And you got such a good deal with all three under $90. I would have bought them too! :)

    Hope that your week is going well so far and you have a nice weekend planned :)

    So hard to resist a good blazer! And I love that you are being brave and wearing the white. $15 to the real real is kind of cruel, because you know you will end up spending more!

    I would have fallen for that white Massimo Dutti blazer too. Gorgeous.
