$20/week Challenge

The economy has got us all in a slump, but that doesn’t mean we have to look drab, or that our wardrobe has to take a hit (well, maybe a small one). To help keep us all fashionable, for the month of August I am challenging myself to only spending $80 total on fashion($20/ per week). Here are the rules:

1. Spend no more than $20/week

2. No purchase is necessary every week. The money can be banked if I don’t purchase anything.

3. Tax does not count (only b/c I might purchase other non fashion things at the same time, and I don’t want to calculate out the tax)

4. This applies only to wearable items, it does not effect budget for other personal items. However, for this month only I promise to only shop my stash when it comes to make up – unless there is a BOGO on HiP b/c I have been waiting for it to come back around to get a new shadow. (but that’s it… Promise)
