"So other than a citron green handbag, a creamy soft ivory clutch, and a pair of basketball shorts - I'm in!"
The above statement is my final sentence in Mo's thread about Saying No to June.
Well, I failed miserably.
And yet - I honestly believe that I did really well. You see, I did a serious assessment of my warm-weather wardrobe and ruthlessly purged until I had many, many wardrobe holes - and fortunately had the means to replace those items with current pieces. It was very fun and the first time (I think) in my life that I felt as though I had found the correct balance between impulse and planned wardrobe items.
Also let me say this - my dominant season is warm-weather. In fact, I never put my warm-weather items away, I simply layer them. So, the items that I bought will be "active" in my wardrobe year-round. (Yeah!)
Before I list the items that I bought, let me tell you about what I purged. In total, it was 73 hanging items - plus 7 large trash bags full of knitted tops, shoes, scarfs, belts, etc. I have completely turned over my wardrobe - with just a few left-over items from my previous wardrobe.
Here is the list of things I purchased in June: (and I couldn't be more happy!)

Ok - so, that's it. I've never bought this much before in one season. I must say that it was a little bit scary - but I really don't have any second thoughts or remorse about my purchases.
And about the citron green bag, the soft ivory clutch, and the basketball shorts? Well, there's always July!
