I got so caught up in life stuff . . . I'll have to get on that ASAP!<br /> (ends up my whole suit came piece meal thru the same eBay seller, after returning the one I'd bought at Express's site) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-spent-the-last-of-junes-budget#post-648147 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 21:06:19 +0000 Jem 648147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just realized that I missed seeing your jacket, I'm going have to look for that thread! I'm going to have to think about your budget some more. I really like how you did it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-spent-the-last-of-junes-budget#post-648144 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 21:00:39 +0000 Mo 648144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Fern and Jem! I am slightly amazed almost half my budget was the boots, and yet I got other needed items and never felt denied. I have to admit birthday money bought me my Express suit. Ends up it was a hole I thought I needed filled ASAP, only to find a bartending job first lol. But now I have it, and will be ready and not searching when the need arises </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-spent-the-last-of-junes-budget#post-648139 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 20:54:19 +0000 Jem 648139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm impressed with your discipline and good purchasing. I like that you were able to still get a splurge item and also filled other holes and still kept within your budget. That's really impressive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-spent-the-last-of-junes-budget#post-648132 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 20:46:23 +0000 fern 648132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done!<br /> I am very impressed by your discipline &amp; planning for your budget - combined with your outfit posts, of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-spent-the-last-of-junes-budget#post-648066 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 19:13:18 +0000 Transcona Shannon 648066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a purchase that makes perfect sense for you Mo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-spent-the-last-of-junes-budget#post-648065 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 19:12:43 +0000 Mo 648065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I am beginning to think anything utility style is going to land in my closet! Luckily, I have enough floatier, girlie tops and shoes to balance it out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-spent-the-last-of-junes-budget#post-648059 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 19:04:29 +0000 rae 648059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this was a good idea! Corduroy definitely feels wintry, and you know you like the style already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-spent-the-last-of-junes-budget#post-648057 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 18:58:10 +0000 Anonymous 648057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that was a good purchase. I can see you wearing it a lot. Corduroy has a much different vibe, and it might not have felt right to wear in the summer, even if your summers aren't super hot. Good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-spent-the-last-of-junes-budget#post-648026 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 17:52:38 +0000 Mo 648026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And on a skirt that is sort of a duplicate. <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/120928120621?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&#038;_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648#ht_2080wt_1054" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/120928.....080wt_1054</a> It's another olive cargo skirt, but cotton, not corduroy. I was fighting myself at first on pulling the trigger, but while one is more wintery with sweaters, this one is more summer weight for tanks and breezy tops. I had tried a couple outfits with the cord that didn't quite work that I think will with the cotton. So that's my justification! lol<br /> So that's the last $20 of June's budget, and in the bigger picture, of $500 for the first half of the year. I sure got a lot of holes plugged with my loot. And had my luxury purchase of the season with my Frye Julia's. I have only one mistake so far, that I might resell on eBay. Not bad! If I can do the same for the last half of the year, I will be one happy girl. </p>
