March Purchases

After gorging last month, I starved for most of March. I didn’t go to Target even once. I went to TJ Maxx, but stayed in house wares.

My single “impulse” purchase was an order from Sequin Appliqués. Surprisingly, I ordered sequin appliqués:

1. Owl appliqué, $4.99
2. Black and gold epaulets, 2 x $5.99 = $11.98

They haven’t arrived yet…but they were shipped to me over a week ago, so I expect them soon.

I was saving for my pennies for a trip to Denver during the last week of March. On the second day of my vacation, I bought my real cowboy boots.

3. Dan Post boots, $200

Also while in the Denver area, I spent a day secondhand shopping with my sister, Ping.

Goodwill:
4. Converse One Star striped shirt, $5.99

ARC:
5. Worthington paisley skirt, $6.99
6. No Boudnaries pleather skirt, $3.99
7. Scarf, $2.99
8. Belt, $3.99
9. Max Studio dress, $6.99
10. Chain necklace, $5.99

Assistance League of Denver:
11. Chadwicks black and white dress, $4.99
12. Kors clogs, $4.99

Buffalo Exchange:
13. Necklace, $10.50
14. Shearling gloves, $15.50

On my last day in town, we went to the Garden of the Gods and I bought three bracelets in the gift shop.

15. Bracelets, 3 x $1 = $3

The total is $292.88. I knew I’d go over my budget in March because of my planned boot purchase. I couldn’t resist the thrifting goodies. I don’t have plans to buy anything in April, although I do have a thrifting trip scheduled with Londyn. I’ll concentrate on finding things for her wardrobe, not mine!
