New Closet Additions :: April

April is always a fun shopping month for me because... it's my birthday MONTH! Yes, I use the entire month of April as an excuse to celebrate my birthDAY.  This year was particularly crazy due to the fact that we moved on Easter weekend, so my birthday took second place to the excitement of our move.  I'll have to do another whole post on that.  Anywho, I added some fun new spring/summer pieces to my closet this month and I'm super excited about it.

New Closet Additions: February

New basics are always fun to add to my closet because I know they will be worn often. I had been eyeing these Gap jeans for a while and finally pulled the trigger. They're a very blue jean :) I love how skinny and stretchy they are, but they do seem to stretch out quickly. I like them best right out of the dryer. I spotted this black dress in target and knew I would snag it once it went on sale. I plan to wear it at a bridal shower soon and maybe even the wedding too- it has a great, girly shape. The dark jeans are fine... They are cheap and they work, but again they feel like they stretch out easily...wish I would've sized down. The earrings were an impulse buy because jcrew can't advertise free shipping on any purchase without me finding something.  The Loft silk top was also an impulse, but hopefully it will get good wear. Its comfy, can dress up jeans and be worn throughout the seasons. Win.

New Closet Additions: January

This month I did nearly all my shopping online (shocker!). I'm proud to say I paid $0 in shipping, which makes this my new favorite mom-friendly shopping method. This being my first month shopping not pregnant, I was super excited to buy a few things I have had my eye on for a while (yay boots!). That saying, "Shoes always fit"... Yeah, not true. Luckily, my feet are back to normal size and my ankles are visible once again.  I went ahead a decided to put the price I paid for each item, just layin it all out there, and hoping to keep better track of what I buy. Nearly everything was on sale, or sale of sale, so if you're following the link to an item and it's no longer available, that's most likely why. Onto the goods...
