I was expecting to buy more this month and was holding out until Black Friday. Although I was able to cross a few gifts off my list for others, I didn’t really see anything that caught my eye. In fact, the only things I bought for myself on Black Friday was the watch, bracelet and sweatpants (which are crazy comfy, by the way.) I should do an outfit post with sweatpants…hmm!
Anyways, I’m totally happy with how I did this month, considering I did really well at the local consignment store. I sold a few purses and other items that really paid off, which covered all my purchases this month so I didn’t dip into my $200 budget. And speaking of consignment stores, I was at a different one in the area and found that army/utility jacket that I love so much more than my old one! It has a lace collar and other cute details. SCORE!
How did you do this month? Which purchases do you like from my budget?

Nice! I’ve never made that much at the consignment shop – that’s really awesome!
I rarely do either- this was a particularly successful month! (I had some Coach purses of mine and my Mom’s that I was ready to part with…they do well at consignment stores!)
I bought myself 2 sweaters and a skirt. But I did manage to put a dent into my christmas shopping. I am almost done!!! I love that green top. Gorgeous. Black Friday shopping is only good if you find things you like and that you need.

Good for you Agi- doesn’t that feel so nice to cross that off your list?!
Okay, I need your thoughts on those pants. I keep eying them but then never pull the trigger because I feel like the inseam is just a TAD too short. And you’re taller than me!
The length is just right (I’m in between sizes so the waist is too big but the thigh area is just right, and I opted for the larger size in case they shrunk, etc.) In fact, in next week’s “What I Wore to Work” post, you’ll see them on me to get a better idea!
I LOVE that utility jacket! I can’t believe you got it at a consignment store (I mean who would give that away haha). So cute!
I know right?! It was meant to be!
