What I bought in August

I got a little overexcited shopping this month.  I was on a spending freeze for almost 2 months so I guess I should have known it was coming, AND I'm really proud of the deals I found.  I have been really obsessed with stripes, so I stocked up on more....because you can never have enough stripes, right?!  Okay, maybe that's just me.  I also tried finding a few more basic pieces.  I only spent full price on one top in that whole collage!  I couldn't help myself.  (I'll let you know which one towards the end)

Everything I bought below was from an online site called ThredUp.

ThredUp is basically an online thrift store.  They buy and sell gently used clothing from top brands.  I love Express clothing but can't really afford to buy it at the full price, so this has been a great option for me.  Every top above is from Express.  The only thing I bought that wasn't from Express was the striped skirt on the bottom left.  

Here is what I paid for 8 tops, 1 jacket, and 1 skirt from ThredUp:

Express camel sweater - $8.49

Express red and navy baseball tee - $7.49

Express b&w dolman top - $12.49

Express blue and black top - $10.49

Express red & white henley -  $7.99

Express berry top - $8.49

Express grey top - $9.49

Apt 9 skirt - $8.99

Express jacket - $18.99

Express b&w striped top - $9.49

Subtotal - $102.40

Free shipping & 20% discount TOTAL: $81.92

Gap b&w striped top - thrift store - $2.99

Foo Fighters top - $30

Banana Republic pink top - thrift store - $4.99

Loft grey sweater - thrift store - $2.99 - 50% off - $1.50

Charming Charlie tortorise bracelet - $6.99

Forever21 striped top - thrift store - $3.99

Total - $ 50.46

Total spent in August - $132.38

I'm really happy with that total and the amount of stuff I was able to find!  Obviously the Foo Fighters top was the full price item.  It's been a long time since I paid full price for anything, but it was worth it!  I bought my husband tickets to see Foo Fighters for our anniversary, and I have to buy a tee shirt at every concert I go to.  It's tradition!  And also why I have a whole dresser drawer full of band shirts. haha!  Ooops!
