Into Overtime

I have officially made it past my month of shopping less.  I realized a few days after I posted my last update that I had in fact purchased a few items.  In my emotional shopping trip, yes I had a bad day and  needed to get out, which led me to a couple great purchases while passing up on a few that did not make the cut.  I found a sheer button up blouse and some moccasin looking flats, these flats have replaced some that I got last winter when shopping with my mom as a Christmas gift and they started to stink that week and were dumped.

Friday I went grocery shopping and saved over $100.00 with my savings card and coupons although I did purchase over 150.00 dollars of groceries with very few extras.  But our deep freezer is stocked, fridge and pantry are in great shape.  I was really proud of this as I was shopping alone and its easy to throw extras in the cart and I can peruse more alone than when Darren helps as he wants to get in and out and I want to find the best deals to grab up while I can.  So far this week I purchased a couple towel clips for our vacation.

Day 35

Boot weather is coming and so I thought some tights, tall boots, skirt and long sleeves would keep me warm.  I did add a short sleeve blazer for polished look at the office.

Day 36

A sweater dress and gray footless tights made for a comfy day. 

Day 37

 My maroon pants changed up with a cowl neck wool sweater also made for keeping warm.  But still can sneak in same sandals.

Day 38

 Last day for the week at the office and it was cool outside that I thought layering would be great.  But glad I could go straight home afterwards as it warmed up quite a bit.

These great pants make it all better, also happy I can roll them up and take off those high stacked heels.

Day 39

 Spent the morning cleaning and shopping, so it was jeans and a hoodie then into my work clothes for my second job.

Day 40

Big day for us, lots to do and being out of the house meant we had to plan our outfit for the changing  weather we were going to be seeing throughout our day trip.

This blouse is my emotional shopping steal, only paid about 3.00 after clearance, extra email discount and my 5.00 rewards.  Sweet deal!  I added a pair of blue shorts and then the...

coated gold sweater.

 Love this sweater!  Believe it or not I also own a pair of gold coated jeans.  

Got to have my ND Colors on hand.

Day 41

I started off in a basic black tee, scarf and ruffled cardigan in my signature color.

Started off this week great, still very little to buy before our trip so maybe that makes for extra cash to shop while away.  But keeping an eye out for inexpensive sun/maxi dresses to go with the tons of swimsuits I will be wearing.
