How I have done on my shopping travels...

So, I have to congratulate myself on sticking to the list I created here and SEVERELY reducing my random shopping and basically spending in general. I have not bought much since the new year, and what I have bought have become wardrobe staples and much loved items. If you know me, that is a big step in the right direction. My original list of needs was:

What I need (need is a funny word after all):
1. leopard heels (sensing a pattern)
2. button downs for layering
3. infinity scarves (I wear mine to death, and should buy more to jazz up basics)
4. the perfect nude heels (good for work AND play)
5. a colored boyfriend cardigan
6. more full skirts (always my faves)
7. thin gold stacking rings (2-3)

Revisions/Scores
1. The pair I originally wanted had some issues. A shiny, mirrored metallic stripe being one of them...back to the drawing board. Still want a pair, though!
2. Have retailed and thrifted several - am enjoying all my new layering options :). 
3. Have bought two - love them both. Will take a break from looking for these.
4. No dice - too high or too low....still on the hunt. Tempted by these:

5. Have tried many of these on, and I am just not sure if they are right for my bod! I usually just wear things I love, as long as they fit me, regardless of whether they are "flattering" per se, but I am not sure I am going to continue to pursue this one. May switch it up to look for cotton crew neck sweaters for layering.
6. Ordered this from ASOS (on clearance, obvi). Will post about whether I like it or not!!! Could be amazing, could be horrific.


7. Have not taken the plunge. Perhaps a future present from my ever-spoiling husband ;).

I am really happy with how my new method of shopping has worked for me. Since being honest with myself about stuff I might actually use again and again, I have not experienced my most hated shopping side effect - buyer's remorse. Thus, I am sticking with my list though and through, and adding these:

1. perfect jean jacket
2. colored blazer
4. beautiful blouses (machine washable)
5. black ankle boots (or maybe I should just buy my beloved brown boots in black??? help!!!)

Here goes.
