$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. Questions/Concerns can be addressed care of thirtydollarproject@gmail.com or tweet me! @30dollarproject for outfit updates and @LindsH for the various musings of my everyday life. |

I wore this over the weekend during the first snowfall that NYC has seen all winter. I wanted to be slouchy and cozy while I was out and about running errands and such.
Typically, casual outfits always have a higher cost per ensemble. I know that this sounds a bit off, but I usually include more accessories in a casual outfit (to make it more interesting) and that drives up the cost.
But I love this one because it is a great combo of comfort, gifts, and handmade items from Etsy.
Total cost of the outfit = $130
Remaining budget for 2012 = $1,131.97
