Just wondering how we have fared with our shopping goals this month. I struggled with the satin blazer, finally purchased it, and then wished it to fit but it didn't. Too long Returned it on Sunday, and so I am now officially in the clear for the OctNOber goal I had.
I got a top on Yoox this weekend, but I was using my billing cycle, rather than the calendar month, as my 'month', so it was well over 30 days by then.
Interestingly (well, if you're a numbers geek I guess lol) I will have bought 52 items this year.( EDIT: before you all think I've got armloads of 'pretties', this includes bras, undies, yoga pants, lounge dress, belts, etc.) Same number as there are weeks in the year. My goal next year *was* originally 26 items, but has since been scaled way back to 12 (yikes) and my budget will be roughly $1000.
This month was good practice toward next year's plan. In a way, it can be freeing at the same time as it is constricting. Not sure if that makes sense. I think the waiting and debating just which piece is worth it makes it all the more enjoyable once you find the right thing. Simply instantly gratifying is not as satisfying an experience.
How did you all do with your various budgets, bans, or other such shopping plans?
