As much as I love leggings, I’ve realized that I tend to gravitate toward pretty boring ones—no wild patterns or colors for me. So a subtle stripe on a black background? Sign me up! The pattern is called “Embossed” on Old Navy’s website, and that’s a good way to describe it—the stripe is sort of raised and vaguely metallic-seeming. And I think “7/8-length” translates to ankle length, which works well for me because full-length leggings are often too long on me. (HOW? I’m only 5’4”! Like, yeah, not tall, but also not exactly short either!)
I’ve never been the biggest fan of the whole tie (or knot) front shirt trend. But this Target shirt doesn’t HAVE to be tied—you can also just wear it as a long button-down. And the sleeves are long enough to cover your hands! 🎉 It’s just a cute, cozy layering piece.
When we went to the England store in Epcot, they had some Queen shirts… but none were my size! 😭 So I literally ordered this sweatshirt when we got back to our hotel room that night! And I love it! It’s super soft, and I really like the cut-off hem. And Pops actually did see Queen in 1975! ❤️
And lastly, who am I to turn down a subtle cat tee? 😂
Now since this is the last budget post of the year, that means it’s time to total up my budget post spending! DRUM ROLL PLEASE!
TOTAL FOR 2018: $623
This is an all-time low… by a lot! My budget post spending is down $741 from last year! WHOA! I’m very proud of myself! ☺️
