Oh yes, feeling a little goofy after all the moving that Derek and I accomplished today. Even though we're only moving across the courtyard from our current place, it's a lot of work and I'll do a jig once we're all done. I hate moving, but bigger kitchen and Tiki room (aka dining room) makes it all worth it.
I took a shower and slipped into one of my favorite types of outfit, a dress, pair of leggings with a pair of boots. I'm calling the dress a 'cotton t-shirt dress' as it's just as comfortable as wearing a t-shirt, it's from H&M's Divided Basic line and I think the price is around $12.95. I love this dress so much that I went out and bought another one, because I can't have just one of these comfy beauties! Speaking of buying things, I'm on a 'no buy' quest this month, it's voluntary task that I bestowed on myself in order to keep better track of my spending. I have been stressed out with all the changes going on (nothing bad!) that I have a tendency to indulge in retail therapy and well, I wanted to nip it in the bud. Shopping is not a cure for stress, so I'm taking my own advice about spending/budgeting. My no buy August is only limited to things that are extras, so items for the move, household items, toiletries, food, gas, etc. are A-OK! Derek says "You don't have to do this", but it's actually grounding me a bit and I've become a lot more focused. Yeah, I'm weird.

Have you ever had a 'no buy' month?
Thank you for reading!
XOXO-Meagan Kyla
lol I'd never survive a month
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying it's been easy ;)---I see sales everywhere!
DeleteWe just moved, too. Down one floor and around the corner! It wouldn't have been half as bad if we didn't own an arcade game.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a lot of vet bills recently, so I'm supposed to be not buying anything. But like you, we found we needed a ton of stuff for the new place...so much for that.
Arcade game! That sounds pretty rad!!! =D
DeleteI hope everything is okay with your critter(s)!!!
I tried it once. I think I made it 10 days.
ReplyDeleteAt least you tried!!!
DeleteBeware of vanishing boxes during the move. After my moves it has always been one box missing, and a box that one miss for real :/. I love your comfy outfits, so inspiring as I like to dress comfortably myself.
ReplyDeleteAre you moving to a larger appartment?
I'm discovering things I thought were "lost" from the move into this place, lol!
DeleteThank you, comfy doesn't have to mean frumpy in my book ;)
omg that Lullaby poster!
ReplyDeleteI also love your boots and tights :)
The poster, thank you! It was a gift from a high school friend many many moons ago. Hard to believe I've had it hanging from in bedroom at my parents to all the apartments I've lived in :)
DeleteLOL, you can use that money you've saved from your no-buy month for all the new Tiki stuff you're going to need to fill that bigger space! :D
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh don't tempt me! ;)
DeleteAaaah, you look so cute! Good luck with the no-buy rule!
ReplyDeleteYou look great! Also, that bat <3
ReplyDeleteI've been on a 'no-buy' kinda thing for a while now. Travel expenses are still kicking my butt though!
