Most of my purchases this month were thrifted, and I am happy to have found some nice items! I hope that the purple Lucille dress ships because I would love to wear it on the first day of school. I'm glad that I returned the abstract leopard skirt for the raj paisley skirt. I didn't like the skinny waistband on the abstract leopard and I had a hard time styling it, plus I did not expect to like the raj paisley skirt as much as I do.
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow, you scored some deals! I regret missing out on that raj paisley skirt.
ReplyDeleteThanks! At first I didn't like the raj paisley, but once I took it home and realized that I had plenty of tops that would work with it, it really grew on me. No more paisley skirts for me though....I have enough! :)
DeleteLove how you list all your items! I need to start doing that, it would hold me accountable! Booooo on being waitlisted! I am really annoyed with J.Crew's shipping right now! I placed an order a week ago and still haven't received it, and typically I receive my order in a matter of days. And no one at J.Crew seems to have an answer for me as to what the delay could be. SOOO annoyed!
ReplyDeleteI got the idea from KDot @ Confessions of a Wannabe Fashionista. It really is a great way to track spending. I'm really hoping that the Lucille dress ships....I'll be disappointed if it doesn't. Bummer about your order--hope it can be figured out soon. I still have something from Factory on backorder from April and no news on that one!
DeleteI hope you get the Lucille derss, too! I have it and LOVE it (I'm actually wearing it today!). It's an amazing color and will also transitional well into the fall! I have my fingers crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteI hope I get it too!! I'm glad to hear that you like it so much. I think the color is beautiful, and I am hoping that it will be my first day back to school outfit!
DeleteGreat job in July! I absolutely love your blog, and you inspired me to visit a thrift store today. I scored some great finds and actually posted about it on my blog. I had to of course give your blog a shout out!
ReplyDeleteCheck it out: http://what-i-bought-today-tc.blogspot.com/
Thanks so much--I'm glad you were inspired to give thrifting a try! It is amazing what people donate and the treasures that can be found!
DeleteGreat idea--I should do this!!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely give it a try! I got the idea from KDot @ Confessions of a Wannabe Fashionista.
DeleteI thought I was a good shopper, you did amazing and you always do! I need to learn to be more disciplined like you.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I really try to shop smart because I've wasted too much money over the years.
DeleteEnjoy your last few weeks. I have a week and half left. Thats great that you still have your team teacher. As a special ed teacher this is my first year I will not be team teaching at all, well co-teaching (two teachers teaching one course).I will have a classroom aide, which will be similar to team teaching but I think I will miss it. Good luck this school year!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you enjoy the last part of summer too. I really do feel very fortunate to still have my team teacher. I hope that your aide works out well for you and that you have a great year!
