Here’s What I added to my Capsule Wardrobe During the Shopbop Main Event Sale!

Shopbop is having another one of their fantastic sales where the more you spend the more you save so I decided to pick up a few items, you know, in preparation for my next capsule. This time, I decided to ditch a color theme and just grab black items because well, black goes with everything, and it makes me look slimmer.

Fashion Friday: Coffee Break

There’s always time for coffee. [ad name=”In Content Responsive Ad”] I can’t believe it’s already August, more importantly, I can’t believe summer is almost over and I actually survived by barely purchasing anything new for the season. If you’ve been following our journey to become debt free over on the site Live Broke on Purpose then you know I’ve talked about being addicted to shopping and how that’s something I’ve been struggling hard to overcome. At the beginning of the summer, all I could think was that I needed a new summer handbag, but after going through my purse closet (which…
