This past summer I participated in a capsule wardrobe challenge. I learned a lot from three months of wearing ~40 pieces. One of the biggest things that I learned was that I hate most of my wardrobe. I have so many ill-fitting and/or not my style pieces cluttering my closet. After completing the summer capsule wardrobe, I decided to take the fall off from that particular challenge and work on building a wardrobe I love. To that end, I started buying clothes agin. But not just any old clothes. No more purchases from the clearance rack “just because it’s cheap.” No more keeping things that don’t quite fit. No more buying things that i love on the mannequin but look silly on me. No more buying clothes that I realistically won’t wear. Instead, I’m trying to be very selective in my buying. So, dear readers, I am going to share with you what I bought during the past month. I will post links if the item is still available and prices i paid. I don’t have a specific budget, but definitely don’t want to spend more than $100 a month. (Realistically I’m aiming for around $40 a month). You will also get to see pieces I bought that I ended up returning. By December, I want to be able to say that I bought some great pieces that I wear often. I also want to plan for a possible winter capsule wardrobe… I decided to add a running total for 2016 at the bottom. I know some months I won't buy anything and other months I'll splurge. I would like to monitor my total spent...

A friend and I hosted an online pop-up party. I ended up buying four things the night of the party, but two of those items were free because of our rewards. Woohoo! The next week, I shopped at another online pop-up for another pair of leggings.

Randy Top -- Very stylish and fits well

Irma Tunic and Black Leggings -- Their leggings are incredibly soft and comfy and I love that the Irma covers my bum.

Printed leggings -- I wanted something that would coordinate with my turquoise Irma top. (Kept forgetting to take a real world pic, so this one is from the pop-up.) I bought #6

Perfect Tee -- Paired with previously purchased Cassie Skirt.

Dia & Co. Box -- I had one scheduled for the end of February, but they pushed it back due to increased demand. I got it yesterday, so I will put that box in March's clothing summary.

February Total: $84.75

Total for 2016: $141.74
