Brr! It’s getting cold here. Today, I restyled a skirt worn here to make it more fitting for the Fall weather.
Anyway, time to cut to the chase. I have been shopping very excessively and frankly, I need to stop! I’ve made this effort several times to no avail, but I am hoping for this time to be different. So I will be putting myself on a “ban” for 27 days– until November 20th (which happens to be the launch of the Lanvin x H&M collection)– with you wonderful ladies to keep me accountable! I know, 27 days may seem like child’s play to the average citizen, but I’m quite sure that as fellow bloggers, you know where I’m coming from. The halt to shopping will also serve well as a reminder to myself that style is never based on having shiny new things. So please track my journey with me throughout this next month as I attempt to get creative with my closet!
Wearing: Zara silk leopard print top, H&M skirt, tights and OTK socks, Zara booties, Vince cashmere sweater
This is too adorable m’dear! I’m absolutely in love with the fullness of the skirt and how you re-wore it. I’ll hold you to it! all 27 days, my ban begins after this Saturday. WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!
Cant WAIT for Lanvin…your skirt is too cute…love the whole outfit:)
Enter my Tulle Giveaway♥
Your skirt is so cute! I love how you turned it into a fall item. I can’t wait for Lanvin either…:)
Love this outfit! and YES I know exactly what you mean…I tried a full on spending ban, but it didn’t work for me :p So I’m on a strict budget now, haha

Love how you restyled the skirt with tights and socks…genius!
And all your shiny new things are fabulous too! But I understand limiting/banning yourself until the Lanvin collection is released. I am under similar ban though I’m just trying to stop myself from excessive spending in general. Pretty good so far…haven’t bought anything new (clothing wise) in 2 weeks!
Thanks again for the giveaway! yay! it was the best email to wake up to! Can’t wait to get it! 🙂

Good luck with your ban and I’m looking forward to see you re-styling your current pieces!
What a darling outfit! Such a lovely skirt and I so adore knee high socks over those pretty tights:)

I absolutely love this outfit!! The pink skirt brings such a happy summer feeling to what seems like a grey and rainy day.
I’m going on a shopping ban myself too. 27 days is really hard! I’m banning myself until Nov 26, which is Black Friday. I already have plans to hit up the outlets at midnight! 🙂
Best of luck with your ban!

Oh I know what you mean. I don’t have enough money to spend it on clothes, but I sure desire a LOT of things!
I love that skirt , it’s so feminine and playfull! The photos are great! Great title “autumn showers”.. 😀
How you manage to wear skirts all the time, even in cold weather amazes me! Once it dips below 70 degrees, I’m in nothing but jeans. Just amazing.
The skirts brings the right pop of cheer in such dull weather! Ahahaha, to your shopping ban. What a great celebration though, I can’t wait for Lavin and H&M! Have you seen the sneak previews…ahhhhhhhhhhh!
these photos are so cute! i love that skirt so much with those dotted tights i shrieked a little when i saw your outfit hehe 🙂
good luck on your shopping ban! i’m trying to minimize my shopping. 27 days is longggggggggggg.
