Club Monaco Fall 1 Lookbook






Lately I've constantly been in a shopping mood (wait, when am I not?), but have been trying increasingly hard to hold back. This semester I'm taking a "Consumer Economics and Resource Management" course (aka Personal Finance 101) as an elective and it has really opened my eyes to learning more about saving. For the last four years I have worked year-round, whether it may be full-time jobs in the summer, part-time during school, and freelance gigs on the side-- but what I'm trying to get at, is the realization that I would have a whack load of money had I been more wise with my spendings. That being said, I'm going to put an effort into saving and investing my money (no, not investing in shoes and purses) without having it put a huge damper on my usual lifestyle. I guess we'll see how this goes. Being a complete hypocrite, I did recently make one huge purchase though, and that's the iPhone 4s that I pre-ordered last week. I'm just going to let that be an exception... (cough, a thousand dollar exception...)

But while I'm going to try and hold back on spending on clothes and accessories mostly, there's nothing wrong with a little eye candy. These are shots from Club Monaco's Fall 1 Lookbook; both the women's and men's collections were so pretty, I just had to share. What are you lusting for this Fall?

I find that having an end goal of how much you wanna save up by a certain helps with saving for the timebeing. :) Don't make me hound you and make you feel guilty for buying things you already have. ie. cupcake necklaces. LOL

I LOVE Club Monaco! Everything they sell is so chic and professional-looking without seeming stuffy. I'm quite legitimately obsessed.

I'm constantly shopping online & am so reluctant to close the internet window when I'm done rather than checking out my shopping cart. >_< lol
I used to be what I'd almost consider a compulsive shopping & would have a justification for why I "needed" to buy whatever I'd get, but as time has gone buy, it seems to get a little but easier and easier to just say no.


<3,
Dana

I know exactly what you mean with being more aware of your spending, I used to be such a good girl (tear), until I got my darned Visa. Haha. Unlimited food money, YES! I'm happy to say that I spend much more money on food than I do on clothes, although I'm not sure if that's a better thing.

P.S. IPHONE WIN. I would have gone for the iPhone 4S if my mom hadn't lectured me on my Visa bill, why did it have to arrive the same day as when I was renewing my plan? I think the gods are against me or something.

P.P.S. I love Club Monaco, another store that makes my Visa bleed.

CINDY NGO said...

a thousand dollars?! whhhat?? lol well, lucky you for getting iphone 4s! super jeals. it's such a great phone though. hehe.

& i love club monaco! i first learned about their store/brand through my friends in t.dot over 6 years ago and i still have yet to visit.

i don't blame you... i'm ALWAYS in the shopping mood. if i can't sleep, i'm up online window shopping. haha. it's so bad... because that's ALL i want to do. ;P

i'm lusting for some new shoes for the fall (i try to give myself an excuse to buy some)...
