DSW
I love my heels, but I occasionally need to wear dressy flats. My red pair (bought on New Year’s Eve 2006!) are looking pretty shabby. I had originally spied this black/white pair of flats this summer at DSW, but I’m glad I waited to buy them on sale!
1. BCBG Paris flats, $26.64

Cuffs
I love the slim cut, contrast sleeves, and elbow patches on this sweet blazer.
2. Love Tree Blazer, $49.00

Kohl’s
Confession: I bought this in November. On Black Friday. But I didn’t get to wear it and photograph it until December.
3. Chaps red and black plaid sweater, $64.35

French Cuffs
Is this a dress or a sleeveless coat? Either way, it’s perfect for Sacramento’s winter.
4. Rugby Ralph Lauren tweed dress, $31.50

Mercer Place
I love this knit, wool blazer. It’s warm, stretchy, flattering, and goes with everything.
5. Diane Von Furstenberg knit blazer, $56.25

Nordstrom Rack
Total score:
6. Theory silk dress, gift card!

Canvas Boutique
Brianna, look away. This is the same scarf that I bought for you.
6. Faux Missoni infinity scarf, $28.00

ARC
My one thrifted item in December.
7. Floral belt, $1.50

December total: $257.24
Total spending for the year: $2521.25
Remaining 2013 budget: -$1081.25.
Here’s hoping that 2014’s clothing budget won’t be such a joke!
