I need to get on my Ebay sales, too. I've really been avoiding it, but the guilt is winning now, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fessing-up---mays-budget-pre-spent-ahem#post-610452 Wed, 02 May 2012 17:43:00 +0000 Mo 610452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update: good news! Seems the BF's certain SF boutique shirts are a sought after eBay item so I may be able to sell my way out of my budget overances (I don't think that's a word but oh well LOL).<br /> I at least have a bid that covers the $30 into June I'd spent, so I'm back into May again. woohoo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fessing-up---mays-budget-pre-spent-ahem#post-609516 Tue, 01 May 2012 20:57:40 +0000 modgrl 609516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And this is why I'm not signing up for syc.... I am a failure before the month even begins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fessing-up---mays-budget-pre-spent-ahem#post-609515 Tue, 01 May 2012 20:56:30 +0000 modgrl 609515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's always the way, I could have already spent May's budget and we're only 1 day in. I have to focus on real, not perceived wardrobe holes. I want nude boots but should focus on sandals since we are heading into summer. Also, I want an animal clutch -- don't ask why -- date nights are few and far between these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fessing-up---mays-budget-pre-spent-ahem#post-609443 Tue, 01 May 2012 19:46:45 +0000 rae 609443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, thanks for mentioning birthday cash! I got some $$ for Administrative Professionals' Day - If I apply that to one of my trench coats, then I'm only overdrawn into June. Whew! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fessing-up---mays-budget-pre-spent-ahem#post-609396 Tue, 01 May 2012 18:44:42 +0000 Mo 609396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I see I am not alone in my jumping a bit ahead! I still think budgets are a great tool and as long as we adjust for these blips, they work. (I'm $30 into June, too! - but pretty sure birthday cash will bail me out lol) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fessing-up---mays-budget-pre-spent-ahem#post-609389 Tue, 01 May 2012 18:35:59 +0000 ManidipaM 609389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've done well with your fabulous, well thought-out purchases, Mo, even if you're fast forwarding the budget from time to time.</p> <p>And thank you for this post, therefore, for giving me the courage to 'fess up! I just went and totalled my SYB allocation on May 1, and am overdrawn halfway into June. So much for May Madness. Just call be a March Hare :-/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fessing-up---mays-budget-pre-spent-ahem#post-609339 Tue, 01 May 2012 17:32:29 +0000 Meredith1953 609339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pieces look really great! Love those trousers especially. The boots are so fun looking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fessing-up---mays-budget-pre-spent-ahem#post-609334 Tue, 01 May 2012 17:29:03 +0000 cheryl 609334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great purchases and those boots are awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fessing-up---mays-budget-pre-spent-ahem#post-609320 Tue, 01 May 2012 17:19:36 +0000 rae 609320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am right there with you, Mo! Only I'm doing worse, lol. As you saw on the May Madness post, I might be pre-spent into July. -_- </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fessing-up---mays-budget-pre-spent-ahem#post-609311 Tue, 01 May 2012 17:07:02 +0000 Mo 609311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since many of us are working around shopping within budgets I thought I'd share. Seems once I set myself free of strict SYC, I start to creep ahead with my budget. It happened last year and it's happening again. But I do manage to reign things in within the month that I'm over, until the next month begins. I suppose it works in the end!</p> <p>On to my May purchases in April: blue ankle boots I had to have the minute I spied them (happy birthday to me), then the interview capsule I just needed to round out, not planned for but good to have done, and the casual black dress since I realized my dresses are too foofy for play. I also have a dressier LBD coming in the mail courtesy of Lyn's generosity! </p> <p>The interview capsule wasn't on my spring list, so I still have a pair of shorts and a red top I'd like to get in June. Then my spring/summer budget will be done and all my holes should be filled. I have $50 left in the budget for those 2 items. I do suspect I may get some birthday $$$ that would cover the blue boots and bring my budget back up to $100 for the remainder of the season. If that's the case, I might be able to grab the mixed media black blouse, too! </p> <p>EDIT: wow, after looking at the pics I appear to be black rutting! But I swear, I don't wear much black at all. Too funny. </p>
