Planning Ahead
June 14, 2008
Yes, I am thinking already about Fall; it pays to think ahead of time and calculate just what I need and how much it will cost. Here is my list:
Black or grey dress pants; Thrifted: $5.00
4 winter skirts- a-line denim, grey or black pencil, 2 print; Thrifted: $18.00
4 knit tops; Thrifted: $18.00
4 blouses- black, white, 2 print; Thrifted: $18.00
2 cardigans; Thrifted: $9.00
Black handbag; Thrifted: $10.00
Bomber Jacket; Thrifted: $12.00
High heeled black pumps; 6PM: $34.50
High heeled leather boots; 6PM: 49.95
Low heeled pumps; Thrifted: $10.00
2 nice t-shirts; Thrifted: $9.00
Scarf; Old Navy, or T.J. Maxx: $25.00
2 pairs jeans; Old Navy: $70.00
Print knit dress; Ross: $25.00
Grey Knit Dress; Shabby Apple: $78.00
Grand Total: $391.45; NOT including tax and shipping.
Still, it all sounds like a pretty good bargain to me, considering that I’m buying classic pieces that will last for a few seasons. I’m relying pretty heavily on Goodwill to find a lot of these items, but I know a few Goodwills, so I think I have a pretty fair chance of finding what I need at those. My most expensive items by far are my shoes, my jeans, and my dress, but I find that if I pay a little more now for these wardrobe essentials, I will run into less issues with my wardrobe later on in the winter season.
Are you thinking about your Fall wardrobe in June? If so, what do you need?
