Sequins and Smiles

October is almost over which means that I only have two days left of my goal to not spend any money on clothes. To be honest, it was pretty easy and only slightly tempting during a couple of trips to Target. I cheated once, but my cheat was with a gift card to buy this sequined sweatshirt. The other items I purchased were because of a few sales on Poshmark. So, technically not a single penny was taken from my bank account to use towards clothes. With the holidays around the corner and lots of shopping to do for family, I am challenging myself to another month of banning any clothing purchases for myself. Same rules apply, if I sell something on Poshmark or have some sort of store credit/gift card I am allowed to bring home a shopping bag. Otherwise, I am wearing what I already own for the next 30+ days.

When I saw this embellished sweatshirt at Forever 21, I knew it would come in handy. It didn't disappoint and came through for  me yesterday. I was feeling a little bummed about some news I got about a friend and I needed some sparkle to brighten my day. I mean, sequins make everything better right? Well, at least that's what I told myself. I slipped it on, threw on a smile and reminded myself of everything I have to be thankful for; especially my health.
