As is often the case, my purchases have a nice cohesive color palette and will surely make friends with all of the other black and white and stripey pieces in my closet.
Club Monaco Tweed Blazer ($153) -- just a perfect little French-y blazer that looks great with jeans.
Uniqlo x Lemaire Striped Sweater ($40) -- I was happy to get my hands on one piece from this fun collab
Old Navy Striped Dress ($15) -- a great summer basic
Uniqlo x IDLF Sweatshirt ($29) -- this one is a disappointment, and probably going back. It runs super small (just as reviewers said) and the torso is quite short. Too bad, such promise!
Total -- $208 (not including the Uniqlo sweatshirt)
Monthly budget -- $200
Scoring the tweed blazer on a good sale felt like a win, so I don't mind spending most of my budget on one great piece. The cost per wear will be so tiny, I can feel it.
Lots of things on my radar for April. I feel like I fall in love with something new almost daily, and I have fairly expensive tastes right now. Here are the things I can't seem to get off of my mind lately:
yes, I need another blazer // I'm always on the lookout for cute shoes with a reasonable heel // another striped t-shirt // this one is a little crazy, but isn't it fabulous? I have a high school reunion coming up and there is a part of me that wants to show up in this...
Linking up with Fran and the budget bloggers -- did you buy anything good this month?
