Closet Remix Challenge: Week Two

Week two of the Closet Remix Challenge proved to be full of temptation. With the Spring season approaching, I have seen many new styles and trends that have enticed me to want to shop!! Prior to this challenge I would frequently make many impulse buys simply because I thought [said item] was something I just HAD to have RIGHT then. This week I resisted the urge to buy several things on impulse; reflecting to myself: "How often would I really wear that pair of shoes?" and "Is that shirt really something that I need to buy right now?". I may not be moving mountains over here but I am getting over some small obstacles!! Now, let's get to the recap of days 9-15.

I want this month's challenge to be an honest and open one so I must confess to you that I did make a purchase this week... Despite being able to reason with other temptations and impulses, Kohl's did get the best of me. My mom just so happened to send me some AWESOME Kohl's coupons (30% off, $10 Kohl's cash and two $5 coupons) that I could not resist using! But, I did only buy one top and it totaled $7!! My husband used up the rest of these awesome deals and bought himself a couple pairs of jeans.
I knew going in to this challenge that it would be just that--- a challenge! I do not necessarily see this as a failure in my journey this month for I feel like I have made some significant improvements and I am realizing just how many clothes I really already have! I plan to continue to carry out my no shopping agreement for the rest of this month and continue to gain a control my shopping habit in future months. Let's just say this is a minor hiccup! :)

How are you planning to transition your wardrobe from Winter to Spring? 

Are there staples that you have that makes the switch a little easier? 

Thanks for stopping by!! Hope you are having a relaxing weekend! Don't forget--- Tuesday is Recipe Day so stop back for this week's recipe!
