week-end shopping ban girls

I have done well but not leaving the house really really helps.....

Cortney1982 · Chanel

I haven't left the house either, which does help. But I have been browsing on ebay to get myself something under $20 since my rule is that I don't work two weeks without treating myself. But I haven't come across anything yet but this super cute vintage jacket I really want but it's over my limit and I will resist.

halleybird · Hermes

Cortney, I love that jacket! Not that that helps you any.

I bought groceries and some books, which are technically allowed, since one of them is for my book club. I didn't go out much either, which helps.

It's 9:50 Saturday night, and no shopping was done today. Tomorrow is my mom's b-day so we had our Easter today so she wouldn't have to cook/clean/have company on her b-day. That means I didn't go shopping today. And some places will be closed tomorrow, so that kinda prevents shopping. Plus I'll be hanging out with her.

I did well yesterday & today. Other than groceries & household stuff, I bought nothing.

small fry · Chanel

I'm doing well. Yesterday, I went to Target and stocked up on household stuff, which is allowed because they are neccesities. That's it - still haven't bought anything for myself!

jj · Kate Spade

Nothing for me!

Lilykind · Hermes

Despite going through the whole Nordies shoes section with my BF, I was a good girl. I helped him buy a pair of shoes but those are for him and he got them with his money so that doesn't count.

alb · Marc Jacobs

I did much better! I only bought a few things at Target and I don't count that b/c hubby sees that as "groceries." I tried to limit myself though--I got the light green wrap dress that a few ppl have talked about here, some bronze flats, a bra and some socks. The dress and flats are going back. The dress washes me out due to my pale skin tone and the flats are uncomfortable. Oh, and I got Easter stuff for my little girl but that doesn't count either. It sounds like everyone did pretty well this weekend!

rlutz · Chanel

I am going to have to go on a shopping ban...I just had to pay $4,000 in taxes...ahhhh!!!

scarlett · Marc Jacobs

I didn't buy anything yet, but I only joined the ban a few days ago! So, I'm in that early easy phase. Besides groceries, I haven't gotten anything.

blubirde · Chanel

I ran around all over town Saturday and bought nothing for myself! I'm so proud. I bought some bday gifts but I used coupons and I'd already budgeted for them this month, so all of that was preapproved.

I treated us to dinner last night but I got $$ for Easter, so I broke even.

luckylily · Gucci

I'm now officially joining the ban. I'm considering doing something kind of extreme and going on a serious no-new-clothes ban until the end of October. I have so much spring/summer stuff. Plus my sister and I are going to NYC in October specifically to do some shopping and I want to be able to buy whatever I want without feeling guilty.

I want/need a pair of brown Bernardos and a navy blue casual skirt, plus I have a Nordies gift card from Christmas that I haven't spent. I'm going to allow myself those things plus a few great vintage finds and thrifting deals.

Yikes! Now that I'm writing it out, 6 months seems like a long time. I can be fairly stubborn when I set a goal for myself tho.

Kel · Coach

Well, I was bored this weekend, so I did a little shopping. I got some hair and nail stuff at Target. Along with a shirt, which I am going to return, I don't like how it looks on me. I also bought some body scrub today. But that is it, besides food of course. Oh and nothing was charged it was all cash.

smash · Dooney & Bourke

still no shopping for me. i even survived a trip to the mall this weekend without so much as thinking about buying anything.

i did buy a coffee from starbucks twice this week though.
