Budgeting is a beast. I have been counting pennies and writing things out, paying off bills and avoiding shopping for months now. For someone in fashion that loves style as much as I do, this is a very hard thing to do. But when you have no funds, you have no funds. No way to spend it. It's KILLING me. My solace has been the store. At the very least I can grab a cute top or dress here or there, albeit college or sports related. But it works. And if I really scrimp and scrap, I've gotten one something for under $40 every other month.
However, I have been doing some shopping lately. It started with shoes. I was wearing my 5" Cynthia Vincent wedges which require a change of shoes in retail, but forgot a change of shoes. So I popped into Nine West where clearance was an extra 20% off. I walked out with a tan strappy pair of suede flats perfect to go into the fall and a hot pink leather flip flop, total under $50. Then came the nail polish. The new color for the season is grey and a store in NYC makes the perfect shade. So I bought two colors and shipped them. And then came the extra 20% off VS end of season, so I bought a suit. Holy crap! I'm at $100!!! I do not have $100. But at least my nails and feet will be cute. And next season, my swim suit is fabulous and unworn. (neon yellow bottom and striped top, both of which perfectly match all 3 of my turq, pink and black swim suits).
OK, I'm cut off!
