And back!

Sorry for the hiatus everyone. I am now back and ready to update.
I've been talking to some people who keep trying to find alternatives to websites like Modcloth who just seem to hike up the prices of their clothing.
Well, I found two alternatives Ruche and Tulle these websites have the same style of clothing available (a style which seems to be a staple for the San Franciscan girl.)

Another update is that I have embarked on an adventure. In an effort to bond with my coworkers Jackie and Lisa (and also an effort to save some money) I will be buying only 0-1 thing (piece of clothing, accessory, shoes, etc) each week for the month of July. Things had been getting out of hand with all of the clothes I had been buying. It it definitely a very very good idea for me to limit myself to nothing or at most 1 thing per week.

So, I have embarked on that adventure. Thus far I have not purchased anything. I believe though that this will force me to consider what it is that I really need for my wardrobe. As in, "Do I really need this? Can I wear this for more than one season?" At this point I have my eye on a pair of ankle boots that I know will transition from summer to fall easily, therefore, a worthwhile purchase.

It is important to keep this in mind when shopping, just because it's on sale doesn't mean you have to buy it. That is an issue of mine, I think, "but it's such a deal!" but I'm going to tell you what my boyfriend likes to tell me when I say, "but it was on sale!" he says, "You're too poor to save money." It's really a good point, I could have saved a lot more money if I hadn't bought the item in the first place. So, I'm going to discipline myself from now on to think, "Do I have something that already serves the purpose of this new item? If so, I don't need it." I have a lot of clothing, I really need to realize that 98% of the time, I already have something that I can wear in place of the new item I'd like to buy. I have a lot of staples, the boots I'm considering I will most likely allow myself to buy as my weekly purchase because my last pair of boots died on me last winter.

In any case, further updates will be of new sales, websites, or tips and also my one weekly purchase.

Have a happy Tuesday!
