July Budget Review

July, I'm not sad to see you go. While I did get to go on vacation and DH got some good news, you were kinda crappy to me.

Regardless, as you are on your way out, here's how I did this month fashion-wise:



Madewell V Neck Tees, green and gray - 2x = 12 each
Madewell polka dot sweater = 30
Keds for Madewell = 24
Gap maxi skirt = 6.50

July total: 84.50

By far, my cheapest month clothing-wise in a long time. I did spend in other areas - I got a haircut, made a donation to a coworker's rowing fund, and took myself for a massage when I found out I was getting my job back. And Ollie the chinchilla has been having some health problems so he's had to see the vet twice this month.

August is a busy month - DH's birthday, our first wedding anniversary, and my birthday. I do need to buy DH his presents but other than that I'm hoping to keep it low spend.

How did you do this month? Linking up with Franish!

  7. Great job with the budget!

    I hope Ollie your chinchilla is feeling better. I become a nervous wreck when my pets are sick. August is a busy month for us too. My birthday and our anniversary are both in August and I can't believe it's almost here! Time really does fly.
