$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. |
Blouse: Lucky via the Goodwill $14, Skirt: via the swap, Heels: Bandalino previously owned for 4 years, Scarf: purchased in Prague 4 years ago, Clutch: MyPatternedMind on sale for $28.50
This little red number was actually my first pick at the clothing swap a couple of weeks ago. It’s such a bold color that I could easily imagine it with black tops and stripes, both of which I have in abundance. But I decided to try and challenge myself a wee bit for the first wear and see if I could somehow soften it up too.
I’ve always been intrigued by the color combo of pink and red, so I knew that’s something that I wanted to see in the mix. Then I decided to include multiple patterns, anchored by the simplicity of the skirt and the heels to balance the whole operation. The patterns are small, therefore not to overwhelming, and everything plays together nicely.
Total cost of the outfit = $42.50
Remaining budget for 2012 = $558
