Love the red shoes. Of course they go with your color scheme. They're your summer red shoes, the darker tone is more for fall and winter. The sandals are cute, what a great buy!
Have you worn your max Mara skirt yet? Cotton is great, so easy to take care of and so nice to wear.

No, I plan to wear it tomorrow.
It feels like another Monday for me, so I'm scattered all over the place.

The shoes seem like good, safe options for my wardrobe. I think I'm trying to expand a little to fast into things I'm not really loving, hence some of the returns I have to do now. lol.

Found my black heels!
A little bummed they're not bows, but variety is good and the shoes are so comfy.

The red and this pair of Ferragamos I got for $260 and 230 respectively, so both were deals and good additions to the closet!

So no more shoes. I've gotten the replacements for the two that'll leave at the end of the year.

I've gotten all of my wishlist, and more.

I'll go on a mini clothing ban until September to see if there's any holes in my wardrobe. September will be a good time for warmer clothing, then a second mini ban until Christmas to identity cold weather holes.

Woo mini ban.

I like the idea of a mini ban. It will also be a good test. I'm thinking of joining you, depending on whether I'm going in vacation or not.

Hopefully I'll be successful on this mini ban haha.

I have re-unsubscribed from shop emails that I had gotten back on due to my shopping spree.

I'm trying to figure out what SLGs to order in August for my birthday, since SLGs are on the okay list.

Today was the day of intense temptation, as I had to go to the mall to pick up my mini pochette and make my returns.


I was successful! No new clothes or shoes. Didn't even look! Haha. Gotta keep this up for a year in 2018. [emoji85]

Good job! It's just small steps. If you think about it as not shopping for a day, it's not so hard. And next time you're at the mall, it's another day you might decide you won't buy anything, and before you know it, 2018 will be over and you will have bought almost nothing.

True. Small decisions lead to big changes.
It was a little easier because DBF was with me to keep me somewhat accountable. But I have to make sure I don't end up driving over to the Rack or the malls after work when I'm alone.
