'What's Gone and What's Past Help'

As I confessed earlier, I have failed miserably at my New Year's resolution of not spending.  Riddled with guilt, I decided then to amend my first idea, and give myself a certain budget within the month to spend on clothes.  That has since gone out the window (especially since I have used up July's budget).  Maybe next year.  What can I say, I am past help.
Anyhoo, as a slight pat on my shoulder, nothing in this post is new (except for the thigh highs but those were only 7 bucks and that really doesn't count).  I've had the dress, coat, and boots for a couple of years so at least I do keep the things I buy and get good mileage out of my money, right.  Points scored.


How are you guys coming along with your new year's resolutions??

Am now tweeting again!!  Would love it if you guys would follow my ramblings here on Twitter! And also show my Bloglovin' some Love!!

What I'm Wearing:
Suede Coat:  ArdenB
Dress:  Marc by Marc Jacobs (also worn here)
Boots:  BCBG
Socks:  Asos
Bag:  Coach
Sunspecs:  Vintage YSL

    this dress is beautiful. I love your photos..those last few in the snow are amazing. Girl my budget is spent! I failed at saving..I have been spending like an idiot. But I have however stopped using my credit card (for the past 2 months) so thats good right?? Oh the things we tell ourselves lol

    You definitely get points for this outfit and not spending anything on it! The thigh highs were a much needed and economical purchase, you're right, that doesn't count ;) haha! I love how we are on the same wavelength as far as posting thigh high warmers right now ;)

    this outfit is ultra sexy, wool leggings with boots, high heels, the choice is wise, I'll see you in a good action movie you fight against the bad guys with this sexy outfit and dangerous at a time, how to enjoy these high heels to the wicked.
