I smell so good.  I just got Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet.  DH hates perfume and I've been trying to find one he "likes".  I tried this one a couple of times and he said it was "not bad" which is high praise so I got it.

Tomorrow, hopefully a Mansur Gavriel Lady Bag

My Garmin broke this morning beyond repair. They offered me an $80 credit for a new watch or I could pay $80 for a replacement 410. My arm was very easily twisted into coughing up the extra cash for the vivoactive I've been lusting over.

[lolo]

Oh man, I hit Nordstrom's anniversary sale so hard:
- 4 new bras
- 1 pair black booties
- 1 striped Topshop navy blue and white blazer
- 1 black Topshop tank
- 1 black leather clutch/purse

I also ordered my first Stitchfix and kept a pair of premium jeans that are SO FABULOUS. But not inexpensive.

So, you know, BYE BYE $500.

Oh my, $$$ has been flying out of me lately.

I bought all three kids and my nephew reversible north face jackets. If you have a store nearby, they are incredibly cheap on sale and it's worth a trip.

My boys share a baseball themed room and I picked up the national league pottery barn teen quilt at the outlet yesterday. My baby is still in a crib lol.

I bought new running shoes a week ago. Plus some shorts and a tank, you know. To get free shipping.

Coordinating outfits for milestone photos at Gymboree last night.

Oh, and I nicked my neighbor's impeccably kept truck last week and it's going to be over FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS to buff out and repair a 3 inch scrape just above his bumper. That's the only thing keeping me from buying stuff for myself at nordstrom's anniversary sale. Guilt lol.

[holly116]

Oh I bought five new Natori and Chantelle bras at Dillard's last week too. . Lol. On SALE. They were on sale!

[holly116]

Here's my $400+ scrape.

Ugh, I had a similar bump in a parking lot. Luckily the guy I bumped is just letting it go, but he wrote me this guilt-inducing email and I feel awful. Plus I need to get my car checked out.

Yeah, this neighbor is super nice but a crazy, meticulous, person about his vehicles and I am... not lol.. Like, I'm just going to ignore the slight missing paint on the van's wheel lol.

They JUST moved out too, like, it was the day after the moving van had packed up all their stuff and they were just waiting to close. I feel terrible about adding to moving stress and told him to take it wherever and we'll cut him a check ASAP. But SHIT, I about died at the $400 estimate. For that.

I'm calling the carpet cleaner and window washer tomorrow!

Otherwise just some hair stuff.

I've been good lately.

[namasteak]

3 coordinating outfits for DS1 & DS2 from the Where the Wild Things Are line.

Eating out more because I don't have it in me to cook.

And my favorite - our cleaning ladies. Omg I love them.

I'm spending $$$ on someone to deep clean my house next week.

How often do you have someone do it? Now we have a house I feel like this should go in our budget.

[carolinagirl831]

Oh man I spent too much in July!
$150 at j&j during their big sale last week- but I had a coupon and got a ton of items
A Natori bra from nordstrom sale
A northface fleece for Dd
A petunia pickle bottom tote from nordstrom sale
A bunch from gap sale last week - but I had gift cards
Hmm I think there was actually a few m ore things ?

[cincodemayo]

I bought IT cosmetics illuminating CC cream yesterday. I also bought some really bright shirt from Jane.com and I'm in love. Everything else I've ordered from there was a flop.

[iheartbanjos]

a hall tree for our mudroom.

I bought DH a new winter jacket at Costco today. Technically he needs it but technically we don't have $200 just laying around.

[thejen626]

Absolutely nothing DH's company just got sold and the future is unknown so we are on spending freeze at least until Sep 1st when we find out what's happening. He'll get another job easily of it comes down to that, but we are obviously hoping that doesn't happen.

[spk926]

Well I literally just spent nearly $300 for 2 tickets to a concert tomorrow so that was kind of an impulse splurge because I just found out about the concert this weekend!

[Brie]

Our weekend away. Two nights at a resort and spa, couples massage, facial, milk and honey bath, fancy dinner, and some amazing lotion (Farmhouse Fresh) as a souvenir.

$$$$ but WORTH IT.

[glitzy07]

Um...I rolled through the Culver's drive-through after grocery shopping this weekend just to get a hot fudge sundae (before dinner!). Counts?

Otherwise I haven't been spending much money on myself lately.

[aspentosh]

Does an unplanned for new hot water heater count? Wheee.

This year has sucked so hard.

[teatimefor2]

A mani-pedi recently and a blowout.

Ask me next year when I've weaned. I'm going all out!

$300, but it's 3300+ square feet (plus a lanai / cc: @mrswindycity) and includes baseboards, shampooing carpets/rugs, wiping/cleaning cabinets, etc: All kinds of crap that I am 100% guaranteed never to do in my lifetime.

How often do you do that? $300 is about what I would expect to spend. 

[waterchurch]

I got callus removal with my pedicure. Lol.

[leonard131]

A new dyson vacum for the beach house.

bunch of stuff for M from Gap

bunch of stuff for me from Athleta


cosmowife. That bag is GORGEOUS!

[sunshine608]

Instants pot crock pot from Amazon prime day

4 new outfits and pairs of shoes for our vacation.

A bunch of Kendra Scott and Kate Spade earrings from the anniversary sale.

A new diaper bag for our vacation.

I've done better than previous July which always seem to be $$$$ for me..

[bcarp30]

I'll just say Nordstrom anniversary sale and leave it at that

[starburst]

We just bought a new sectional sofa today. It was long overdue. Our old couch was over ten years old. DS has already spit up on the new couch. This is why we can't have nice things!

[Deleted]

DS has a beautiful antique dresser that has been used by 4 generations of DH's family. I felt bad that DD has a plain dresser from Amazon. So I had been hunting for a way to spruce it up, like new drawer knobs. Her nursery will be forest themed in brown and turquoise. I found these perfect knobs on Etsy and waited 4 months for the seller to finally get her hands on six of them. Given that DD's dresser had perfectly good knobs, spending $35 on new ones was a splurge to me!

JEALOUS. I would love love this.

[badtzmaru22]

DH finally made me pull the trigger on the Frye boots I've been looking at forever. I like them ok, but for the price (even on sale) I feel like I should love them. I also might need to try them on in a better spot than my disaster of a closet with small children banging on the door. They smell and feel SO NICE. I've never bought actual leather boots like these. But I'm still not sure.
