January Spending.... How I Did




Here is a breakdown of what I purchased in January:

Dream Collective bracelet, 2 vintage Native American bracelets, and a Dream Collective Necklace.



Sadly I must be honest and admit I cheated two weeks ago... I bought this ring from Ebay and also cheated when I went to the mall in Grand Rapids. I brought my credit card and bought some clothes :( In my defense I never go to the mall anymore because we do not live close to one, I had a few gift cards, and everything was on super sale. However I still cheated and must be punished ;) Therefore, I am not shopping in February and my thermometer will remain at zero. Sigh. At least February is a short month.

I still admire your restraint! My biggest downfall is SALES! I tell myself "but it's a good deal!"

Hmm, I don't understand this whole "no shopping" thing you seem to be attempting. Sounds like cruel and unusual punishment!

Love all the jewelry you bought! My goal for the near future is to buy more jewelry and fewer clothing items, but we'll see how that goes.. Haha.

Sometimes cheating is okay + around sale season, it's really, really difficult to not to buy a ton of things, so a little slip is certainly okay.

Also, the jewelry is quite lovely, so it was probably worth it :)
