Morning!
I said I think I needed an intervention on Twitter so I guess that means I need to really do it ... I joined in Frugalista's No-Buy Month challenge. I know I did the 90 day challenge last year but I felt that I was starting to slip and indulge myself a little too much, so this challenge came right on time.
For 28 days (the only time I think I am thankful for Feb. being a short month) I will not buy clothes, shoes or make up - I will not spend money to go out to eat, basically I will not be touching my wallet. These no-buy challenges really help me put things in perspective so I won't be surprised if this becomes something I do annually. It's not easy especially when the sales come or an event comes up but when the number in my bank account stays healthy it balances out, don't you think? In addition it allows me to continously get creative with my clothes.
So even though I can't buy anything this month, I can still jones and hope that these items will be available on March 1st ;)
1.My friend's addiction to nail polish has renewed my interest in nail polish - I am nowhere near her level, but I do have a new found appreciation to perfect my manicure. This bottle is sold out EVERYWHERE! (not counting Ebay or Amazon, I refuse to pay $20 because it's such in high demand) ... I have plans for this bottle. Black Shatter by Opi; MBeautyLounge $7.25.
2. My shoe habit will never, EVER get old . Mena Dress Boot, Christian Siriano for Payless, $59.99.
3. I've been jonesin' for a serious night out and I would love this dress from Monif C's new Spring Collection! I've been loving this dress since it came in an autumn shade this past August... I guess I still NEED this dress in my life. "Marilyn" Ruched Convertible Dress in Coral, Monif C, $215.
4.I love the combination of military structure with feminine lace.Can you imagine this with dark jeans or a bright A-line skirt?!! Lace Military Jacket, City Chic, $62.
5. I really, really , really hope this dress is still available when my no-buy month is over. Green/Orange Stripe Dress, Dorothy Perkins $64.
What are you jonesin' for this month? What do you think of no-buy challenges?

I decided I'm not buying nail polish until 7/23/11. I have SO many shades that I haven't even tried. Hopefully now I can test them out...I have a bottle of Black Shatter if you want to borrow it! lol. I'm still waiting on my Katy Perry colors from M Beauty Lounge.
I like this Green/Orange Stripe Dress, Dorothy Perkins. Nice color. I want to buy this type of outfit. Here I found nice collections for dresses. I would like to thank for sharing this type of useful blogs. Thanks again.
