Heaven help my wallet!

SHEIN OWNS ME! Like, I have a wishlist of over 300 items of things that I like! They're rather cheap but they fit me and that's super important to me.

My cruise wishlist with SHEIN is about 30 items and will probably grow and shrink over the next year as my clothing size changes and I finalize what I want to take.

I know I don't need the same romper in 3 colors, but I just might get it in all 3 colors.

I know I don't need 8 dresses, I'll probably take 2 or 3 on the cruise to have something to pick from for the fancier dining locations, but I'm like 80% sure I'll buy all 8 dresses because I can wear them to church.

I have some sandals picked out as well. While I like them, I'm not sure that I want to get them. I'll use this time to think about it.

Also, I'm giving myself until the end of the year to get my storage unit sorted. I'm nearing my resolve to just call a junk hauler to get rid of the bookshelves (thrift places won't take them because they're plyboard or something from IKEA no matter how good of condition they're in). I'm keeping the China cabinets because I'm keeping my mom's China dishes. Plus there's a lot of Princess House my mom left me. So, I need to get rid of stuff to downsize, yet again, to a smaller unit and that will allow me to have more money going forward.

You deserve things for yourself. maybe if you buy things a little a time it won't seem like so much. im so glad you're going to go on this cruise!

I think with the non-clothing things I'll buy a little at a time, but I don't want to buy clothes for it just yet because I'll be sad if I can't fit them anymore come next year.

They say with cruising to pack your suitcase, then take out half of what's in there. With the lack of dress code anymore, pretty much anything goes, even jeans in the dining room...

Noooo this was going to be my one time to dress up because I hardly have a reason to. I mean...I dress up for church, but this is different.

I'm still going to take a couple of dresses but maybe not quite as fancy as I was planning.

There are still formal nights on Princess. Not sure about Carnaval. Just think of the money you will save to spend later on the trip.

The way I'm thinking about it is: the cabin is taken care of.

When it gets closer, probably when the last payment is made, we were going to add our extras: drink package, internet package, maybe cruise cash.

I think I have my cruise budget pretty equally divided between the cruise itself (including package add ons), my clothing/accessories/luggage and spending money once we get to Mexico.

I'm sure you'll have it all well in hand.
