13. To Cheat or not to Cheat?


This is what I wore on casual Friday to work and see a friend over coffee after work.

The blazer I fell in LOVE with when i visited Value Village 50% day sale. yeah you guessed it..it is also $2.50 like the red cropped one in this post

Love love love the white piping around the jacket.


And now for the main question: To cheat or not to cheat?

because it is Value Village 50% sale again today and I am *suppossed* to be on a shopping ban for the 30X30 mix!

You guys help me decide:

Is it really cheating if I get some goodies from the sales today BUT wont put in the 30X30 mix and not use it for the challenge? Let me know your thoughts below :)

  1. I've bought a couple of things that were deals I couldn't pass up.  I bought a blazer at Gap because it was 40% off and a classic I know I'll wear forever, and a Ralph Lauren dress that was $11 on consignment.  I also bought some funky 70s shoes that I knew wouldn't be around at the end of the challenge.
    One thing is that since I knew I was cheating, it made me be a lot more careful about  my choices.

  5. even kendi said you don't have to follow the rules so stringently. so if you find something you love, and especially if it's $2.50...i say go for it! love the blazer, by the way!

  8. I think the rule is, if it's $2.50 it doesn't count.
