The One(ish) A Month Club

#1,021
Chinese Warrior: Oh goodness! I'm tempted to keep accessories off of my "what counts" list... because then, I'd be doing awesome with the One(ish) a Month Club! :lolots: If I count all of my accessories, then I'm a total fail. Ack!!

kendal & Myrkur: Love your HL dresses!! Bright fun colors for summer!! :tup:

Evietiger: Wow! Your monthly summary amazes again!! Pics please!!!!!!

flower71: Love your chic casual style! :tup:

BagsNBaubles: How exciting! A vacation! And new Prada pumps in your future! And fun goodies! Yay!!

My hubby has been supporting me with the One(ish) a Month club... but he gave me an exception for April. So I'll fess up to two clutches! Woohoo!!!!!! :yahoo:

Okay, so I haven't visited this thread for a while, but I've definitely been keeping to the One A Month rule (more or less)! :biggrin: Last month, I "only" got a pair of suede Tory Burch booties and a classic T by Alexander Wang tank top, and for this month's buy, I snagged myself a reeeeeeally smooshy leather jacket at a sample sale. I'm so in love with it!! Especially since it retails at $1000, and I snapped it up for a mere $135. :graucho:

The jacket is from a brand called Denham, is beautifully constructed, and will be available with Denham's FW13 collection (based on what the sample sale people told me). :biggrin:

Thank you! The pumps were my January purchase. :smile:

Sigh. I've been evaluating the whole one(ish) a month thing, too. It turns out that my weakness isn't clothes - it's shoes and bags.

On the one hand, it's great to belong to a group that supports quality over quantity and making careful shopping decisions. On the other hand, sometimes it's stressful when you're in the middle of making a decision about whether to buy something or not - weighing whether it's worth going over one item for the month - or whether letting it go is better.

I've discovered that I can live with 2 items a month, even though I'm always striving for zero. :P

Besides, I know I can do it. I need to stop rationalizing my exceptions and start from the beginning... appreciating what I already have. Easier said than done of course. But still, imho, it's worth it to stick with it. So... I'm going to keep trying!!

Love the gold pumps!

I'm afraid I may have to quit this club. The 1/month thing is not going well at all.

Thank you! Just got it today (delayed a few days because I was a bonehead and shipped it to my old address) and I love it. It is also husband approved so i look forward to finally ripping off the crazy Herve Leger bum tag :smile:. It's definitely my sexiest dress, but I feel like I am following the club rules as (1) it fills a hole in my wardrobe and (2) I can afford it as I've drastically curbed my spending on impulse purchases.

I'm a little concerned that I've primarily bought dresses so far, so I'm refocusing my efforts in upcoming months towards accessories.

You're my girl! I am also so glad I found this thread, it has helped me stay away from dangerous threads that have been very bad for my wallet.

Jelly, I am not always at one a month but I just avoid impulse buying and this thread makes me think twice (or 3 times:P )before I hit the trigger. ..During the sales, that's going to be hard (but in France, it's in July so I still have a few months before rethinking my wishlist:biggrin:)

Husband approved! Isn't that the best?! Although, I have yet to rip the bum tag from mine... Tell me how it goes, because I'm scared to do it. :P

Yes I think I will try 5 lessons first, I found the oldest riding school in our country, the hall looks so beautiful. We used to have 5 horses of our own, but my dad eventually sold them, I never really rode on them when I was younger. My sister did though.

These are the CL I bought, I just don't know how to combine them, but I think very simple with just jeans and a white T because they already draw the attention and I don't like to overdo an outfit. They are more for nights out in summer.

Great idea about booking the 5 lesson horseriding course to ease back into it. Can you post a link or photos for this great riding school? I may give it a go myself....;) btw great shoes, yes a simple outfit would look sublime...
