What I Bought
I didn't buy much in November and stuck to trying to find things off of the clothing wishlist I shared last month. I ended up taking advantage of a Jeanswest sale and using a gift card I had to get two of the things off of my wishlist. Both the tank and shorts were things I'd been wanting for a while.
- Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver (currently 30% off!)
- Jeanswest Trinity bermuda denim shorts (currently 30% off!)
I was really lucky to have a partnership with Glue Store and recieved credit which I used to update my denim collection for Spring. I bought three things:
- Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (C/O)
- Vans unisex old skool sneakers in black (C/O)
- OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts in Fox black (C/O)
I wasn't sure if I should include the three items in this wrap up post or not, as they were items I received as part of a partnership. What do you think, do you want to see items like that in my monthly wardrobe updates? This is the first time it's happened in the 11 months I've being doing this type of post, so it won't be something that comes up a lot. I also got a maxi skirt from my mum as an early Christmas present I've been wearing frequently.
How I Wore It:
I'm really pleased with my purchases, and how much I've worn them. Everything got worn at least twice. I didn't spend much this month, using the gift card for most of my Jeanswest purchases and using the credit I was given for the other items. I have been focusing on buying gifts for others as Christmas approaches, and hoping for some clothing shaped presents or gift cards under the tree!

You bought so many great things! I love how you wore it with casual style but still looking chic :)

I think products received in a partnership should go in here - If you have been wearing them and think you will continue to do so. They are possibly items you would have bought anyway.
ReplyDeleteLinda, Libra, Loca: Beauty, Baby and Backpacking
Definitely! I will include any future ones in my wrap-ups! :)
DeleteI love the things you got. Yes I think you should definitely include the collaborative items as you are adding them to your wardrobe. Thanks also for the sale recommendations. Have a great day! Gemma x

Very true - I might not have paid for them but I did add them to my wardrobe :)
DeleteI love those shorts and white tee you purchased! I also love the items you got in partnership with glue store. Those skinny super high waist jeans look amazing. I love black jeans but I always struggle to find a good pair and those look lovely.
ReplyDeleteI really like this length of denim shorts - I was looking for a pair all summer and yet never found a pair here in the UK. Clearly I need to move over there to find all the lovely denim long-shorts! haha :)

You bought some great items Mica. Online shopping makes things so easy. You ordered early enough, so they will get there in time. I love that you love wrapping gifts. It's so much prettier than throwing things in a bag. So good for you.

Yes it's quite relaxing having a wrapping session! :) Difficult to do with the boys but I always used to make it fun and take my time when I was childfree.
DeleteThose denim shorts are so cute and they look so comfortable. Great buys! http://deffinatlyshaz.co.zw/
ReplyDeleteLove everything. I've done my damage already online, lol.

I actually held out on Black Friday for Cyber Monday because the sales are usually better and I'm glad I waited. Some shopping is in the cards for me today.
ReplyDeleteYes I was more tempted by Cyber Monday sales too! :) Hope you picked up some nice things :)
DeleteAww! Great picks! Love all of your looks, babe!
ReplyDeleteHappy Cyber Monday!!!

Love your casual looks in November! Especially the prited skirt and the statement necklace is a gorgeous combination, definitely boho chic! And so many great links for Cyber Monday, perfect for anyone who didn't make it to Black Friday! Xx

I'm very interested to see any new thing that comes into your wardrobe, be it from shops, thrifted, or via partnership. I'm mostly done with my Christmas shopping, but really trying to scale it back this year...!
ReplyDeleteI will continue to add collaboration items to my posts, if I get any more :)
DeleteThose Jeanswest shorts are so flattering on you! They look fantastic. As for the partnership stuff, I think it adds a degree of honesty to budget posts. It gets irritating when that's all the bloggers post about (I don't tend to follow those ones), but as you mentioned, this is the first time you've done it in 11 months. I say go for it!
ReplyDeleteI have two people left to shop for: my husband and his sister. Unfortunately, I just gave the one Christmas idea I had left for my husband to one of my family members. Oof. I picked up a discount code from a photobook site, so I think I'm going to make him a brag book with pictures of our son, and then I'm going to make a mini brag book for our son with pictures of my husband and then wrap them together. I think he'll like that.
Oh I know what you mean - I'm not ever going to get everything for free - I say no more than I say yes. But once in a while they might pop up! :)
DeleteThe books sound like a great idea, I'm sure your hubby loved them!
Dear Mica, how wonderful you wore your cool purchases and gifts already so intensely! I think it is really okay when you include what you got through cooperations in such posts.
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas list? Our grown-up childern prefer money and so are my other relatives :) Therefore Christmas is kind of easy for me ...

It's good to disclose them and it's nice to include them in the budget posts too even though I didn't buy them.
DeleteOh yeah I have been trying to rein in my spending and especially with the holidays I have a lot of gifts to buy. But you did excellent great deals and mixed and matched very well.

Wow that's very lucky with the Glue Store. Great to see what you bought during the month. I have just made a couple of online purchases for the Black Friday sales, can't wait for them to arrive.
ReplyDeleteIt was so lucky! Nice way to update my wardrobe for spring! :)

ReplyDeleteI think I have all my christmas shopping done, finally! Not looking forward to wrapping it, though.

Thanks for the links. I didn't much shopping today cyber Monday. Black friday on the other hand, omg. I was all shopped out. It was crowded but exciting. Great haul though, enjoy!

Oh yo're brave for going to the stores! I prefer to shop online :)
DeleteGreat purchases! Really love the all black old skool Vans! I have the classic black/white pair and I wear them basically everyday :)
ReplyDeleteYou got some great stuff this month--things that look really versatile, which is always good. I like seeing things that bloggers receive from brands as part of monthly round-ups too. I haven't even started Christmas shopping yet... eek!
ReplyDeleteYou were so busy with your newborn, understandable you didn't shop early! :)
DeleteYou got great pieces on sales! Love your 3 paires of shoes! Thanks for sharing those Cyber Monday sales! This year I think it's gonna be all about baby, I don't even feel like looking for stuff for myself ahahah I'm getting obsess with baby gears and products.

I feel like I kinda missed the boat for sales this weekend! Bought one pair of jeans for the husband and forgot to search for myself - that never happens!

"Hoping for some clothing shaped presents under the tree" made me giggle! You did so well this month and got some awesome things through your partnership! I don't have to buy for that many people for Christmas, and I'm still stumped for some of them, ack!
ReplyDeleteI need to make a clothing wish list myself. I seem to always think of things I "need" when I'm standing in front of my wardrobe only to totally forget about them while shopping. Nows the time to pick up those things. (; Yay sales!
ReplyDeleteYes I want to get better at shopping my wishlist when sales come up! :)
DeleteLovely pics! And the outfit combinations are so cute!

Congrats on not going overboard ! and specially for wearing the purchases right a way. This is something i need to copy from you. I have several Red Valentino dresses I purchased last December that remain unworn.
ReplyDeleteSome special occasion dresses you can't wear right away though! :) Glad I've inspired you! :)
DeleteYou got some great stuff this month, and I'm especially loving those black high rise jeans. I haven't even started my holiday shopping yet! I should probably get on top of that!

I just noticed-- you have some really awesome necklaces. I especially love the elephant one. They are just all so funky! Second, I love how you included the same pieces, but manipulated into different outfits. Through something like this one can get better inspiration on how to make the most of their clothing pieces. Great post! xx
ReplyDeletehttps://cynicalduchess.blogspot.com
heeh thank you! They are all teething necklaces! You can get such fun ones! :)
DeleteI think it is fun to see everything you got as part of your update. I love it all! I didn't buy much over the sale weekend either.

You have great update of your wardrobe this month. This shorts are great. I like the length - not to short, not too long. And of course you should add items you have from cooperation as you they are part of your wardrobe too, aren't they?
