Clothing Budget: August 2012

Last month I opened up about the clothing budget that is right for my lifestyle, and where my monthly allotment for clothes went in July.

This month was slightly "special" in terms of spending, because it was my birthday (had some extra birthday cash burning a hole in my pocket), and I went on vacation. Two of my souvenirs from Oregon are a new dress and sweater from H&M... clothing is my way of remembering events (I can seriously remember the initial purchase and every way/time I have worn every item in my closet), and I am definitely going to wear both pieces with happy memories of Portland, OR.

-- J.Crew striped tee $19.99 (on sale)

{ worn here }

-- H&M burgundy sweater $19.95

-- H&M white lace dress $29.95

{ worn here }

-- Old Navy striped dress $23.85 (had 10% off coupon)

{ worn here }

-- Old Navy cargo vest (not pictured in collage) $26.94 (had 10% off coupon)

{ worn here & here }

-- Everlane Tank (not pictured in collage) &  Everlane Tote

(had voucher for $40 and Free Shipping, total purchase $15)

You can get a $40 voucher too, by signing up and then inviting friends!

-- Storets (faux) leather skirt $65.00 (bought with birthday money)

-- J.Crew Leopard scarf $50 (bought with birthday money)

{ worn here }

Total = $250.68

I am excited to have picked up some great pieces for my closet, and saved even more by being sale savvy.
What pieces did you pick up for your closet in August?
