Yup, that’s right, everything here was actually bought in November. I got almost all of this during Black Friday/Cyber Monday, but since I didn’t receive most of it until December, it became part of the December 2016 Budget. After my little spending spree on Cyber Monday though, I decided that it was time for a shopping freeze.
Since I was trying to not buy clothes, I used this time to sell clothes. I did a mini sale on Instagram stories and I started adding more pieces to my poshmark shop. This wasn’t my best selling month (I started a little late listing things), but I still have a handful of other pieces I’m going to keep posting.
What I have to decide now is if I want to carry my freeze into January or not. I have a few items that I’ve been waiting to pick up, so I might do that and then go on the freeze. But I don’t know yet.
Are you doing a spending freeze in January? I feel like a lot of people do after the holidays, so let me know if you are (and if you have any tips for avoiding the urge to spend)!
