I spend a majority of my time at work (and outside work) online shopping and curating roundups. I love every second of it, but it can be a dangerous game for my bank account . . . and my spending ended up spiraling out of control. In an effort to be more responsible, I decided to put myself on a $200-a-month shopping budget.
The second April 1 rolled around, I already had my purchases lined up. This month, I'm headed to a music festival and girls getaway weekend, so naturally I was hunting for swimsuits, sunglasses, dresses, and more. I managed to get everything I wanted for just $1 over budget, and hey — close enough, right? Keep scrolling to see everything I bought and get inspired for your own shopping trip.
I can wear this H&M Creped Dress ($35) with white sneakers, sandals, or even dressed up with heels.
These H&M Sandals ($10) are perfect for hanging poolside and come in tons of fun colors.
It took me awhile to get on board with the tie-dye trend, but after I saw this Reformation Kaia Tie-Dye Tank Top ($28), I knew I needed it.
I've been ready to trade in my old blue denim jacket for awhile and this white POPSUGAR at Kohl's Collection Denim Cropped Jacket ($48, originally $64) is the fresh new piece I need for Spring.
I'm headed to Palm Springs with my friends soon and I can already picture myself wearing this Rhythm Zimbabwe One-Piece Swimsuit ($48, originally $80) by the pool.
I wanted a pair of fun, colorful glasses for music festivals this season, and I love that these Loves Me Not Flower Round Sunglasses ($16) are so affordable and come in a variety of fun colors.
This Simple Cowrie Shell Pendant Necklace ($16) is the perfect summery accessory I can wear with all my other gold jewelry.
