Olivia & I went shopping this afternoon. She had money from her paycheck burning a hole in her pocket (This is what's leftover, as she calls it, after the 50% we require her put into her savings account.) She bought herself some goodies and never once hinted that I should buy it for her. She thought about her purchases a lot longer than she would have had Mommy been paying. She's starting to think of how many hours it takes her to make a certain amount, and realizing it's "real" value.
I also made a few purchases to freshen up my seriously boring fall wardrobe. I picked up this sweater in perfect plum at TJ Maxx for $19.99, this sweater in dark brown (not on website), and this top for under it. A couple more of the fun fall sweaters that are out there, and I will be all set!
Score! What lovely clothes! I'm sure your dd is off to a good start managing her money. Good job, mom!
ReplyDeleteHi Penny! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI am in serious need of some new clothes. I've added a few new tops to the mix, but I need some warmer ones. It re-energizes me to get something new to wear!
Olivia is learning about the real world at just the right age. Good for her!
ReplyDeleteLove your choices.
Guess I need a new pair of sweats, lololol.
Sue...Thank you!
ReplyDeleteCindy...It is completely re-energizing to spruce up the wardrobe!!
