So my total purchases for October were $316.39, way over budget. The Guess Jacket took a big chunk from my budget. And some of the purchases are for my upcoming journey back to Africa!

This month (as I'm sure you already noticed) I' m tracking the original prices of items. I mostly buy from thrift-shops, discount shops and items on Sale. This month I saved about $375.00 from discount shopping!

*On a site note, I also got new glasses in the last month. I LOVE THEM! And I've gotten a ton of compliments I highly recommend Humphrey's. Here's the frames I choose.
*I also bought makeup from Sephora for the first time in my life. I'm in love with NARS concealer in Custard and Sephora eyeshadow in Flirting game.
