This week, I had $14 left from last week, plus $15 for this week. What did I buy?
Simply Pretty button ring from ShopKim $8
I’ve mentioned several times that I’m lacking in the ring department. I am also very, very drawn to purple lately. This ring satisfies both those needs. I love the nice touch of purple it adds to outfits, and I’ve already received several compliments. If you haven’t yet, go check out ShopKim’s rings. She’s got a great selection (and she’s also a regular reader of this blog : )
Anything else?

Beso V Neck $10 (on sale) Anthropologie
Way back in week 3 of the ban, I tried on this lovely purple blouse. But back then, it was over $50 and I just wasn’t ready to spend that much on it yet. However, good things come to those who wait. I heard on Effortless Anthropologie that there were some amazing in-store sale prices right now, so I had to check it out. The fit on this blouse is a bit loose, and even though I usually wear a medium, a small might have been better. Still, I think I can make it work, and for a mere $10, it’s worth the try. I also bought a beautiful brown and tan stretchy belt for only $20. You’ll be seeing it soon.
So, all this leaves me with $21 of ban money and $20 of free money. I smell a consignment store trip coming… : )

That’s amazing, Diana. A beatiful top from Anthro for ten bucks?!? I’m glad you got it — what a beauty!
