Happy Tuesday, everyone! I have a bit of exciting news to share with you all that involves budgeting and making things more affordable for your lifestyle. One of my favorite retailers, Urban Outfitters, is now offering Afterpay! What is Afterpay you may ask? Shop now, pay over time…it is as simple as that. Specifically, buy something today, and you can pay for it over time with 4 equal installments billed every 2 weeks (14 days). You can use your debit or credit card and get approved instantly.

While I recently tested out this payment plan, I am most excited to use it over the holidays when I always feel like I am scrambling and trying to budget for gifts for everyone on my list. A payment plan like this, takes the pressure off having majorly high credit card bills, but also allows you to invest in pieces you would like to have asap.  This is particularly helpful for a store like Urban where the popular items tend to sell out quickly.

I always keep a running wishlist within Urban’s site, and now I can easily grab pieces from there and add to my cart before checking out with Afterpay. These paperbag shorts were only $12.25 a payment!

I wore this outfit for my birthday dinner last night in the West Village. We checked out Alta, which was so yummy and the cutest restaurant with so much character! Truffle burrata, crispy shrimp, fried goat cheese and so much more. Urban Outfitters always has the best semi casual pieces to wear out and about in the city!
