Blogging on a Budget: June

So it turns out a month in which one moves across the country is a month in which one spends a ton of money on things like baggage fares and rent and shipping boxes, and therefore a month in which one spends hardly any money at all on clothes. :) Here is my monthly breakdown for June.

This month, I spent:

$24.99 on clothes (a thrifted skirt and a new straw fedora)

$60 on hair (in that I got a haircut for the first time in a over a year!)

$0 on makeup

$0 on jewelry

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

I'm off to Farmers Markets, sunning by the river, a party with friends, and of course memorizing approximately a million new vocab words for a quiz on Friday. :)

Thrifting Finds for under $3.00!

I went to a Goodwill outlet the other day. I had no idea that Goodwill had outlets, but apparently they do. In good outlet fashion, this means that everything is DIRT CHEAP. I mean, you're paying for clothes by the pound, not by the item! Unfortunately, this also means that the clothes are piled in one massive heap and a few various dumpsters in the middle of the room. Which made it kind of like hunting for treasure? Sure, why not.
Anyway, I was amazed that I found FOUR cute pieces in that pile of randomness, not to mention the fact that they were....drumroll please....$2.68, TOTAL. Dang. I should never buy anything full price ever again.
This trip was spurred by a challenge from the boyfriend: Create an outfit for under $20. I think I passed with flying colors, seeing as I got two for under $3.00, but he thinks I cheated because I also bought two other pieces at Ross, totaling $23.00. I tried to tell him those were extra, but, alas, he is a man of honesty. Stay tuned to see my two under $3.00 outfits (after they get washed, shrunk, and washed again, probably....).
