2013 Year Budget: November

For 2013 I am budgeting my clothing allowance based on the entire year. Sound crazy? Read more about it {here}

11/12 through 2013!? And I haven't fallen off the budget wagon yet? It's a frugalista miracle!

After realizing that I had $600 left in my year clothing budget to finish out November & December, I really thought that I would do some damage this month. But I actually had so much more fun shopping for everyone else & that seemed to keep the gimme gimmes away.

Everything that I purchased this month has been on heavy rotation - unfortunately, the weather here has not been cooperating for outfit picture taking, so you will just have to take my word for it.

Purchased: ShoeMint Ankle Strap shoes (used credits) $10 {worn here} // Old Navy fox sweater $19.97 {worn here} // J.Crew factory bow cardigan $68.60 {worn here} // J.Crew Factory baseball tee $24.15 // Forever21 shag vest $28.80 {see a Insta peek here} // Storets sequin leggings $32.40 (now on sale!) {worn here} // J.Crew plaid button down {worn here} $69.99

Thank goodness for Poshmark - a place where members can sell/trade items from their closet. I am having so much fun cleaning out my wardrobe making it a clean slate for 2014. I list new things every couple of days! If you need a reason to join, enter this code "HNDCJ" for a $5 credit when you sign up. And shop my closet {here}.

Unless I just really loose control in December, looks like I am going to have a clothing allowance surplus. I am already drafting up some "looking back" posts on what this year of spending taught me, so if you have any questions, shoot them my way! I would love to include them in my end of the year reviews!

How was your November budget? Are you over or under on the year spending? 

Any major purchases planned for December?
