$30 Project |
I'm Lindsay and like most freelance writers, I'm broke! In 2010, I didn't spend more than $30 on a single clothing item for the entire year. In 2011, I kept my budget to $100 per month. In 2012, I can spend $1,200 whenever and wherever I choose.

New skirt! Librarian in full-effect today and NEW SKIRT!
Whenever I have a gift card, I start scouring the sales for the absolute best buy that I can find. I found this beautiful wool skirt at JCrew. It was originally $128 and I snatched it up for $38! The quality is outstanding and it will last me for years.
I kept the overall color scheme of my wardrobe in mind while making the purchase too. I wanted a shade that would blend in well with the rest of my clothes, but also warm up my complexion a bit in the winter months.
Total cost of the outfit = $98
Remaining budget for 2012 = $1,200
