August Shopping Summary
3 Sep
1. Kristin Hassan Wrist Wrap Bracelets – $8 each (seen here and here)
2. Gap Polka Dot Blouse – $35
3. Old Navy Polka Dot Chambray Shirt – $21.20 (seen here)
4. Old Navy Light Chambray V-Neck – $19.12 (on sale now for less!)

Believe it or not, all of these things are currently available in stores for you to purchase! The only one you can’t buy online is the H & M blazer which is too bad because it is a great price for a well-made piece. And it comes in a ton of colors. So, if you have an H & M anywhere near you, go check it out!
And, yes, I did already have a pink blazer. BUT! I just sold it on Poshmark because I found this H & M one and decided I liked it better.
Actually, Poshmark and Because I Shop Too Much were booming for me in August! I already have my eye on several things on Poshmark and am just trying to decide what to spend my earnings on. I even traded something from my closet for a polka dot scarf!

You may have noticed I was really into polka dots in August
So what is on my wish list for September? Well, check out my Shopping Lust Pinterest board. But mostly I would love a navy pencil skirt, beige pumps, a new white blazer, and a beautiful red blouse.






Here are my takes on four different ways you can make your maxi skirt work for the office.
Cat prints can be worn to the office when you keep them simple and sophisticated. Here are six options.
This week is Bike to Work Week in Chicago and since I only live 1.5 miles from my office I do occasionally bike there.
The great thing about a denim or jean jacket is that you can find one at literally every price point.
Sometimes you see an outfit on someone and you think, “That works, but I don’t know why.” 




I got a great navy pencil skirt from The Limited earlier this summer and it has become a wardrobe staple…I’m kind of wondering how I ever lived without it!
I ended up getting a navy pencil skirt this weekend from The Limited! I’m looking forward to wearing it.
Woo hoo! I did some serious damage there yesterday lured in by the 40% off total purchase signs. And I am actually wearing my navy pencil skirt (again) today!
I like the Old Navy short sleeved sweater! Will you wear that to work?
Did you get rid of your Dots pink blazer?
I did sell the blazer on Poshmark. I have a whole list of things on there that I’m coveting so the more I sell the more money I earn towards them.
And I plan to wear the short sleeved sweater to work, for sure. I have a couple of outfits planned for it.
