Sartorial Spending: June 2013

July 8, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

June was the first time this year that I’ve felt satisfied with all of my purchases. Despite sale temptation, I avoided impulse spending by carefully considering how an item would work into my existing wardrobe (instead of just how it would work into next week’s outfit). The result: items that fit with my classic aesthetic without being boring. 

Here’s what I purchased:

  • Kate Spade floral shoes – $20 (originally $115, but I had a VISA gift card leftover from Christmas)
  • Everlane sweatshirt – $40
  • Gerard Yosca necklace – $33 (purchased on Gilt with a discount code)
  • Banana Republic silver flats – $20 (purchased with a discount and reward coupons)
  • J.Crew pink shorts – $30 (on sale)
  • J.Crew stadium wool cocoon coat – $163 (on sale)
  • J.Crew Factory polka dot dress – $50 (on sale)
  • J.Crew Factory anchor-print tee – $20 (on sale)

Total: $376

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
