A New Color Blocked Purse and Bargain Sandals

 I'm not really the most "in the know" person when it comes to fashion terms, but I think this purse is what I would call an example of color blocking.
Whatever the term, I loved this purse.  It is in two of my favorite colors and will go with many of my outfits.

I also absolutely love my new sandals.  They are in a shade of dark salmon and cream similar to the purse colors.  They were only $1.99!  I also got a pair of hot pink ones of the same brand and for the same price that same day.  I don't have much to wear with the hot pink ones, but they were nearly identical to these and such a good price that I couldn't pass them up.

A Colorful Jacket With Dark Denim

I love this jacket, but probably only wear it a couple of times a year.  That's what happens when you thrift and have toooo many clothes.

My shopping goal for 2015 was to spend about half as much as I did in 2014.  I did not quite hit that mark.  I went a little over that, but I was fairly close so I'm satisfied with my effort.  In 2016 I'm going to aim for even more improvement.  I'll set my budget for half of what I spent in 2015.  It's going to be tough because I've had some weight loss and want to shop now more than ever. haha  But I must remember that I ultimately want to have fewer clothes and wear what I already have more often.  

Finally, a photo that shows my jeans are really a dark blue denim.  Well, sort of a dressy denim material.

Olive Cardigan Worn With Coral

This outfit was worn over 2 weeks ago (I'm behind on posting) and it turned out to be one of my favorites...one I could see myself easily reaching for to wear on repeat.  Just a nice casual/comfy outfit.  I do have a long sleeved tee in about this same color so next time I'll be wearing the warmer version of this.
