SAVE IT

Let's get real.  These next couple of months are going to be tight.  Like money tight.  I'll be starting school at the end of August and the student loans are going to start taking over my life.  Yuck.  Believe me, I love a good Nordstrom find..you know..the one where you find those $600 pair of shoes on sale for $350..what a deal, right?  Wrong.  I have programmed myself to truly believe that the more you spend, the more you save.  Ugh.  Mad at myself.  So, from August all the way until the end of the year..yes, 5 months, I will only be purchasing items that are on sale or are from discount stores like H&M & F21.  Think I can do it?  To make sure I'm not cheating aka buying that $250 leather jacket that H&M will surely have in a couple months, each individual item has to be less than $75 and my total purchase has to be less than $100 (including shipping).  Rules for beauty products: only one item at a time; each item has to be less than $30.  I'm also only going to allow myself to shop twice a month and no more.  And that's both beauty & clothing combined, online and in stores.  I can look all I want, but when it comes to actually hitting "Submit" or swiping my card, I'll be following the rules.  Not fun.  And how uncool to actually want to save money? I know..not very blogger-esque.  But, you know what will be less fun?  If I can't pay off my student loans..then I'll be starting a GoFund account and y'all better be ready to contribute.  Kidding, but seriously.

Hoping this will turn into a habit..I mean aren't habits made/broken in 21 days?  5 months otta do it.

On an even sadder note, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is over.  So sad to see it go.  However, you can still win a $500 gift card to Nordys by entering the contest on my blog here.  Contest ends on Friday so enter soon!  Good luck!

  1. This is so great, Laura! I might try and challenge myself with you...I definitely am the same way with sales on expensive pieces, which has got to stop!

    1. We should totally do this together and keep each other accountable :) I think it is going to be super hard to go 5 months, but we'll see!
