so i've spent way more than i really should have. at this rate i'll be in debt by mid-year... but on a side note - more money spend on fashion items means more posts! expect some 'new purchases' posts soon.

BEAUTY - Includes all beauty products purchased, haircuts, manicures, etc. : $166.67
FASHION - Includes all clothes, purses, and accessories purchases: $333.33

i started off on the right foot, but returned to my regular spending habits in february. luckily the total of the two months is less than the budget/goal fore the two months. where did i go wrong in february? the sunglasses are all to blame... but i really don't regret buying the sunglasses, i love them too much.
