$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.

Yesterday I went to my first ever clothing swap!

There were about 7 of us ladies, so we drew numbers and went in order for a few rounds, gathering some choice picks before diving into the fray.

I was pleasantly surprised as I ended up with a ton of great clothes and accessories, and I really do feel like all of us walked away with new-to-us items that we wanted and were happy to own.

I haven’t addressed this in a while on The $30 Project, but one of the reasons that I started this Tumblr was to explore what I refer to as “The Accumulation of STUFF.” Specifically, do I really need all the stuff that I own? Could I do without it? Is it necessary to keep spending money on new items when I already have so much?

After the clothing swap, I am even more convinced that the answer to these questions is a resounding, “No.”

Many thanks to Sarah for hosting!
