July Budget Recap + 40% off Gap code (& how I already spent majority of my August budget)

BEFORE I BEGIN = this weekend Gap is having a friends & family discount. If you take the time out of your day to read my blog you are now either my friend and/or probably related to me. to use this discount type in the code FFCARD at checkout! (if you would like me to forward you the email so you can take it to stores// Gap outlets – please email me at m.cassidy.lou@gmail.com)

The coupon is good today through Sunday 🙂

Overall this month went really well! I originally bought way too many items, but then slowly but surely ended up returning a good chunk of them. I am such an impulse buyer sometimes, but I’m learning that I often bring it back home/get the package and then realize I don’t actually need it!

Here are the photos of what I bought – with a price recap at the end!

What do you think of my July budget? Did I do well?

Lastly—- sneak peek into August:

I bought this GORGEOUS real leather skirt from Banana Republic! Thankfully my employee discount applies there too or I couldn’t have gotten it. If you’ve been following my blog, you see how much I wear my Forever 21 Faux Leather skirt, so I decided to splurge on this beauty. PS. it also has pockets!

(I am not 100% sure I am keeping it yet, just because it was still $112.50, but I do LOVE IT!)
