Today's outfit. I bought this pin from Coach (Space Rexy!) during my trip to Hawaii. It's so cute and light weight that it wasn't too hard to wear it on a tee. Lots of compliments that I had a dinosaur on lol.

I have been content in a way that I no longer want to shop. Could it be that I'm reaching contentment? Or I am bored by the offerings? Maybe even no longer interested in shopping?
Either way, this should help during the ban.

Just after being content for a good week, I get offers that were super tempting.
So 3 clothing items came in.
With the coupons I got at J Crew, a $25 off $25 or more and the $20 off $50 or more for trying on pants, the skirt came to be free. I purchased a bag strap which came out to $30. But for Stylebook purposes, both are $15 each.
Then these two super cheap dresses from Kohls. I had coupons, a $5 bday gift cards and a $20 gift card from my Aunt. Both dresses came to $28, so $3 out of pocket.
Items came in but were really low cost, so I should get my money's worth out of them soon. They're all so comfy and cute so I'm excited to wear them.

Very nice. I haven't worn my Louboutin yet so now I am really afraid they will hurt or I'll damage them. Any tips?
I especially like the first dress, it looks well made.
Break them in somehow! Haha.
I bought a spray to help stretch my CLs I'll let you know if they work for me.
I think adding rubber soles for stability would really help. I really want to get that done for my CLs too.
Let us know how that worked for you. Would you?Break them in somehow! Haha.

So I started on the Ferragamo Vara in pink that were too snug.
I think it works well. It took several sprays and walking in the shoes all day at home but it feels more comfortable.
I'll wear the Varas tomorrow and report back if it really worked.
New shoes!!!
Birthday bag!!!
I came across the shoes online when I was bored. They're Rose gold and I find this particular style from LV incredibly comfy.
The bag was my choice for my 30th bday bag but we had to order it. It took almost a month to get but we'll worth the wait!
And in fabulous bag math, I made money! ($125 in rewards cards at Bloomies!) haha. I can get something else!
There are very few bags I want left now.
And I will take out the brown Ferragamos. The perpetual dustiness of them bothers me.
I think whatever sealant they use broke down and it's sticky instead of keeping the shoes protected.
It's supposed to be shiny, but mine are matte now. They managed to get to $5 per wear, which isn't terrible. If it weren't for the matte stickiness I'd keep them in rotation.
So hello and goodbye shoe situation. Haha.
Attempt # ?? (I've lost count [emoji85]) For no clothes and shoes for October.

The LVs are beautiful! And so is the bag. Perfect additions to your wardrobe. Too bad about your Ferragamos. That's why I don't like patent, it inevitably ends up sticky or flaky or bland. So why did I buy the patent louboutins??. Don't beat yourself up about your purchases. There's always another month to not shop....
Thank you!
They're not patent though! The Ferragamos were calf brogues but whatever finish it has wore off.
My first pair of patent Ferragamos actually lasted really long with daily wear. It was the soles that didn't last, I had resolved outer soles once and then had inserts for the insoles.
Hoping I can be good in October! At least with bags and clothes.
There is a watch I've been eying for awhile and it's finally red tagged at Nordstrom Rack. If I can score this watch at the Rack during their next Clear the Rack sale, I might be tempted to get it.
But I don't need another watch either so we'll see [emoji848]
I've worn my birthday bag and shoes, in which I'll share soon.
I also got yet another bag [emoji28]

This is probably as much burgundy/oxblood as I'll ever commit to, at least for now.
And here's a week's worth of outfits.
Last weekend was the first outing of my Chanel camellia brooch and the purple dress.
Wearing my LV rose gold flats! The Kate Spade bracelet is the only rose gold accessory I have. I have to find the right shade of rose gold for my skin tone.
Forgot about this Ferragamo belt!
The pink was nice against the navy blue.
This outfit did not work whatsoever and will not be combined this way ever again!
The blacks from the J Crew skirt and Ted Baker did not match in the white office light. The J Crew skirt looked faded in comparison to the tee and accessories.
I consider this a safe outfit. I like safe outfits. Haha.
Super comfy for Friday!
Working on wearing everything I own at least once this year, especially the new stuff.
Next year one of my goals will be to get the items on the Worst Cost Per Wear to be at least under $100.
