The No-Spend Month: Week 3
An up and down week.
--
Holiday weeks always throw me off. Don’t get me wrong — I was very grateful to have the 21st off work for President’s Day, but I am left floundering a little bit and taking longer than usual to get my head on straight this week (what day is it again?)

February 17th
Carhartt was having a sale on their beanies. I couldn’t help it, I had to order two. Especially since I got a new winter coat last month that didn’t match with my old beanies.
