Something I have been doing well at since 2025 began? Trying to save more money. Something I have not been doing as well at? Fun shopping purchases for myself.
I haven't been doing a designated "shopping fast" or been forbidding myself from making personal purchases, but it simply hasn't been as much of a priority to me as of late. I've shared this in other recent posts, but 2024 was a rough year for Ryan and I financially, between unexpectedly losing my radio job (and its salary) and our wedding. To end 2024 with even more of a financial bang, Christmas and its gifting obligations also immediately followed our wedding and honeymoon! It's been such a good thing to cut back on a lot of unnecessary expenses so far in 2025, and to actually be able to put money back into savings once again with each paycheck, instead of just pulling savings frequently.
With all that to say, I do feel like some personal purchases for the spring season will very soon be on my horizon! There's so many cute styles out right now. But for the meantime, I've had my share of fun doing online window-shopping and curating some wishlists. I love the pieces that I've been finding, so I wanted to share them with you today. They feature beautiful flowy dresses from various retailers, spring shoes from Target and swimwear from Old Navy. Check out everything below!
Out of all of these, I think my absolute favorite picks are this shorter dress, this longer dress, these spring heels and this bikini! I guess we'll just have to see if I do treat myself to any of these things soon. 😊
Hope that you're having a great start to the week! It's another pretty cold and dreary winter week here in Coastal Virginia, but I'm finally supposed to be headed somewhere warmer next week! I was bummed for many reasons about my canceled Los Angeles trip last month, but a lost chance at escaping our cold weather was a big part of that disappointment. I'm not headed to California next week, but I will be in a couple new-to-me cities in a warmer place, and I'm looking so forward. Before that, I also have a girls' overnight trip in North Caroline to look forward to!
God Bless,
xoxo Annaliese
