July brought some interesting items into the closet, starting with two vintage silk scarves which I came across as I dropped off items at a consignment shop. One was a huge 1990's Moschino Larioseta Como scarf for 13.90 USD, the other, a long fuchsia striped Escada Sport for 7.50 USD. I kept on saying to myself that I did not need them but as I ran my fingertips on the thin hand sewn hems I just headed for the cashier and paid for them. I knew I'd regret it if I did not buy they right there and then. What would you have done ?
Another fabulous thrift was this black sleeveless dress with a ruffle down one side, it's by Red Valentino and was just 19.26 USD.
Another thrift store find was this fabulous grey leather suede belt with a rich caramel hue wooden buckle. It seems to be from a store in Japan as the original price was marked in Yen. My cost was 3.21 USD, the quality is superb.
A big colourful tote with leather straps La Pedrera GaudÃ, a gift from my friend in Barcelona.
Total spent this month was 43.87 USD.
Seven months into the year, I've spent less than two hundred dollars in clothing, shoes, accessories. I could not be more pleased. How about you ? What's your YTD estimate money spent on clothing ?

Great additions! Loving that ruffle dress.

I would have gone for the Escada scarf only (I find big patterns are harder to wear in scarves), but that ruffle dress is divine. I still am of the opinion that your belt is either Gap, BR or J. Crew, but likely made for the Japanese market. Those date tags are a dead giveaway - I've never seen another company do them...and I have seen a LOT of clothing labels in my thrifting adventures!
I've spent a fair chunk on my wardrobe this year, for sure. Probably over $1500, but I'm okay with that. It's my hobby - I don't actually spend much money on anything else.
Oh that ruffle dress is gorgeous! I keep seeing ruffles everywhere on blogs at the moment too.
I'd pick up the scarves as well - they are my impulse buys (even if I do find expensive ones) because they don't take up much room in my wardrobe! ;)
Still at $0 fashion spend for the year, which is a big improvement to last year! (Was at $1,500 by August).
Hope you have a great weekend ahead of you!
