This month I had some fun shopping for fall, which I’ve really been looking forward to. I’m definitely ready for cooler weather, and wearing layers that will work just as well with a bump as without. I’m happy to report that all my purchases this month will work both now and later, which makes both me and my wallet happy.

This month’s purchases were all about fall, and all about ThredUp. I went a little cardigan crazy in my first order, and found 3 that will be great for the coming seasons. In that same order, I had to send back a cute faux leather moto jacket and two pairs of maternity pants, all of which were laughably small on me. I opted for the store-credit return, then turned around and ordered two blazers and a maxi skirt. I’ve had my eye on a navy blazer for a while now, and I think $46 on a new-looking J.Crew one is money well spent. And though Aaron gave it considerable side-eye, I love the cute new-with-tags plaid one from Target as well. Finally, after seeing it on Lydia’s blog, I couldn’t pass up the gray cross-body bag from Old Navy for $15… and then proceeded to go a little crazy on toddler boy clothes there as well. I think I got a whole heck of a lot for my money this month, and what’s more, they’re all really versatile, wearable pieces that will last me a while (with the possible exception of the cheap-o bag and bold plaid blazer).

Old Navy – Color Block Raglan Tee for Toddler in gray stripe: $7 (40% off) – worn here
Old Navy – Graphic Tee for Toddler in lake effect bear: $7 (40% off)
Old Navy – Striped Crew Neck Tee for Toddler in blue and red stripe: $6 (40% off)
Old Navy – Skinny Jeans for Toddler in Sheri: $12 (40% off)

I’m so predictable. Old Navy’s 40% off sales get me every time, I swear! But Jona really did need some new clothes for fall, and while I’d like to have more brand-variety in his closet, I just couldn’t pass up this cute stuff at these prices. He’s at daycare every day, so more than anything he just needs basics that he can run and play in. I like to dress him up a little more for church and other outings on the weekends, so it’s fun to have some button-ups and colored khakis to choose from as well.
Did you buy anything fun this month?
