Does anyone else consider $30 a splurge?





Shorts: Banana Republic Outlet, $28
Top: Gap, $5
Tank: Target, $7
Clutch: Thrifted, $2
Sandals: Forever 21, $15
Necklace: Lucky, $32
Bracelet: Random Beach Store, $5

What I love: Spending a little bit more on something I'm not too sure about (Side note- this never happens.  Also, I mean spending more than $5 on something.  I don't buy it if I don't love it) and then wearing it CONSTANTLY because I absolutely fall in love with it.  This has only happened a few times.  Once with my chambray shirt- it was $36 on sale- and that was still a bit much for bargain hunter me.  Second time with these shorts.  I kind of liked them.  And they were almost $30.  And now I wear them alllllll the time.  

What I hate:  Falling in love with a clothing item and absolutely not being able to buy it because they no longer sell it.  My friend Dawn works at The Limited and wears the CUTEST stuff.  Today she blogged about her chambray ruffle button up.  During my lunch break I called multiple stores trying to find it- with no luck.  

Soooo, you should check out Dawn's Blog.  Because she's cute.  And also because I want her shirt.

  2. I have a hard time spending $30 too! That's a lot of money for me.

  3. I'm such a bargain/thrift shopper: It's hard for me to buy something "new" or full-price. Only if I absolutely love something, will I splurge! xoxo

  4. LOVE the necklace.

    I know what you mean about spending, when I was younger I thought splurging 200$ on a nice pair of shoes was normal. Now, I think back and kick myself for spending so much!

    Shopping is a game, find the cheapest possible option that you absolutely love.

  8. $30 isn't necessarily a splurge if I really like the item or depending on the store. At Anthropologie $30 is a steal but at Forever21 $30 is a splurge.
