$30 Project |
I'm Lindsay and I started to this blog in 2010 to try and pay off my credit card debt. (I finally managed it in late 2012!) I set a budget for every year. They've gone as follows: spending no more than $30 on any single clothing item, spending only a $100 per month, and budgeting $1,200 for the year that I could spend whenever I liked. I've never once broken the rules! In 2013, I have a $1,000 budget. 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. |
Jean Jacket: BCBG Max Azria owned since college, White Tee: Uniqlo $10, Printed Shorts: Target $15, Braided Sandals: Cole Haan thrifted for $10, Necklace: gift from the folks, Bracelets: vintage via my mom, DIY, and one from Erica Weiner for $3.50
Here’s the other pair of my printed shorts! And a jean jacket that I’ve owned for almost 10 years. Just to give you an idea of how long I hang on to my clothes.
This outfit was really inspired by one of new favorite style blogs, Off of Broadway. Lately, I’ve been on the hunt for style bloggers with short hair just to get an idea of how other woman use this look to their advantage. Amanda is one such lady who knocked my socks off. The way she wears clothing is… amazing.
I also loved this post from Rebecca over at The Clothes Horse about trading in her long locks for a pixie cut. It’s really inspiring to read and see these women acknowledge that it’s not really so much about hair. It’s about the attitude you create by choosing this type of style.
Total cost of the outfit = $38.50 (!!!)
Remaining budget for 2012 = $647
