Waiting for my kid to finish his snack so I can put him to bed. Thinking about all the things that could be. Convincing myself that those things do not require me to spend money. Money money money. #frugalfebruary #frugalliving #savingmoney #nospendmonth #blogger #vlogger #mum

Well, it seems I’ve forgotten how to take a mirror selfie!! Awkward! . But, as #StayingInIsTheNewGoingOut, this is what I would have been wearing if we’d gone out for #MothersDay lunch... . Shopping my wardrobe as I’m trying to buy NOTHING the month... I thought #FrugalFebruary was over, but with the current uncertainty, who know how long this will last? So I’m saving my pennies... the rainy days we saved for before are here and they’re not going away too soon. Might even call it #MiserlyMarch unless one of you can suggest a better alternative? . Sorry, getting carried away, this was supposed to be an uplifting post, but there’s are just many thoughts and emotions constantly milling around in my brain. I think this week will se a return to regular blogging - feeling the need to write more again, more than instagram can allow. . Anyway, Blouse is very old @dolcegabbana - investing in Dolce blouses has been one of the best things I ever did. Trousers are so old that I don’t even know where they’re from. Earrings are @sorujewellery and shoes (hidden inside the super long trousers) are @ysl . How did you spend your day? AND how many of you joined my LIVE WORKOUT TODAY? Same time tomorrow? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #ambarina #beautypassionista #ambarinastyle #fashiondiaries #fashionblogger #fashionblog #fashionaddict #stylishmum #shoecrush #statementstyle #30plus2020 #whatiwear #wearwhatiwear #dailyoutfit #outfitinspo #springstyle #dresslikeme #ootd #ootdgals #designerfashion #luxuryfashion #mothersdayootdin #mothersdayootd #itschictorepeat @seenonsarah #whatweworethisweekend @thismummysstyle @lucylovestoshop #ownyourweekendstyle @ownyourstyleuk @loveloloaccessories (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-DK0nylY9n/?igshid=32pohfm5vzzk

In today’s edition of #workingfromhomefrocks is what I wore to a coffee meeting . . Brisbane is so hot right now that I am finding it hard to wear anything for too long. I ended up changing into one of my house dresses as soon as I got home! . . Is anyone doing #frugalfebruary? I totally failed #lowbuy2020 after I reach half the allocated quota when I bought a few things to support the #bushfirerelief and #shopwiththem . . I am not going to be too hard on myself, I am still mostly buying second hand and when I do buy new I make it count so things that fit into my #circularfashion resolution for 2020 . . If you are not sure what I mean, check out my stories. I’ll do a refresh of what it means to be a circular fashion advocate in 2020 👏 . . #ethicalclothing #ethicalfashion #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #ethicallymade #sustainableclothing #vintageshop #ethicalfashionblogger #fashionrevolution #slowfashionmovement #circularfashion2020 #30wears #circularfashion #lowbuy2020 #styledsustainable #SpotMyStyle #realstreetstyle #oootd #loopistyle (at Newstead, Brisbane) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Hjfh1g8MX/?igshid=zpwey1tiy9dr

Frugal February

I am trying super hard to save money. The first 1/2 of my 30th year of life was spent totally treating myself. I travelled to neat places (Puerto Vallarta, Nashville, New Orleans, and Kansas City). I ate all the things (blue crab beignets, squid ink risotto, ramen, and bbq). I bought whatever I wanted (clothes, makeup, a new rescue dog, fancy pants rug, and a new phone). 

Now it is time for me to pay the piper. In the second 1/2 of my 30th year of life I want to learn to better budget my money in the hopes of one day having only 1 job, but still being able to do fun things and shop on a whim. To get a better look at my budget Frugal February is a must. I picked February because it is the shortest month in the year, then I realized 2016 is a leap year so it doesn’t even matter, luck me! 

My goals for Frugal February are to only spend money on things I need. Not things I want. Therefore I shouldn’t checking my saved basket on ASOS.com to see if anything has went down, purchasing new primer from Sephora, having French 75′s reverse happy hours on Friday nights, or popping into my local coffee shop for a honey latte on my way to work. I am going to pay bills, buy groceries and work super hard. 

My goal is to save enough money to pay off a small credit card I have been meaning to take care of...

Lucky me it isn’t February yet. ASOS is having a sale on winter coats. Yes, I splurged. I mean, come one, it was 50% off. :)

Feb. 6. 2015

I know I havent logged my thoughts in a few days but I wouldnt want this to become repetitive. I know you're wondering if I have been sticking to the plan, and I have...really well actually. Last night was LAX practice for my husband and that used to mean a trip to the mall with the kiddos but instead we went home and had a normal night of dinner, playing and baths. Graham is learning to crawl so thats been exciting to watch as he gets closer and closer to figuring it out that he can move all over the place without moving like an inchworm even though its cute to watch also. Now even though Ive been really good about my spending, Im still distracted by ads and emails with promos and new spring items. In order to eliminate the distractions of emails, I have created a separate email just for retail and unsubscribed a lot of whats in my primary email. Yes, its kinda time consuming but its for a good cause I think. Thats at least one distraction I can control however, the Facebook ads and pretty much all ads on any websites I cant control but I can learn not to let those ads distract me from what I am trying to accomplish. It will take some time, sure but eventually it wont grab my attention as much. Baby-Steps. What are your distractions? And are you doing anything to get rid of them?
