Someone was bound and determined to steal the spotlight when I snapped this pic.

Marty’s been my little buddy lately since I’ve been spending so much time indoors. She’s kind of like a small, breathing hot water bottle. I plop down to read a book or watch a DVD and there she is, meowing away. 

I use this color combo a lot during the winter; a palette of blue, grey and brown with maroons mixed in to keep it from being too washed out. In this case, the color replaced any accessories and I added this cute woven bag that I found for $1 in Utah.

Total cost of the outfit = $85

Remaining budget for 2013 = $832

Florals have been a big trend this winter and I support it because I hate when the springtime rolls around and everyone is all, “Florals are in!” like a.) this is some kind of new thing and b.) florals don’t exist every other day of the year.

When I was looking back on my Favorite Outfits of 2012, I realized that this dress could also be a perfectly structured skirt.

Add a sweater and some tights and suddenly you have a garment that functions for a whole different season.

Total cost of the outfit = $113

Remaining budget for 2013 = $1,000

Merry Christmas!!!

Love, 

Marty

Oversized Sweater: Uniqlo $40, Legging Pants: Uniqlo $40, Necklace: Forever 21 $10, Oxfords: Target $18, Bracelet: vintage via my mom

So… maybe this outfit is just the teeniest bit lazy. Some days you just want to wear something comfortable without having to really think about it!

That doesn’t mean that Marty gets to sit on the coffee table and judge me. 

I don’t need you to give me the side-eye, okay? You’re a cat. (Remember who feeds you.)

Total cost of the outfit = $108

Remaining budget for 2012 = $420

I was running super late this morning, so here’s some pictures of what Marty has been up to lately.

O HAI. 

We’re still unpacking.

Last winter, I stayed in CT for a bit before moving to Brooklyn and Marty discovered snow for the first time. 

My dad sent me this a while ago and today he wanted to know why it had not been posted to my Tumblr. 

Without further ado, The $30 Project presents “Marty in the Snow” featuring my parents and a crazy kitten. 

“Oh! What did you buy me?!”

Apologies for the lack of outfit posts this week. Big things have been happening that have required some late nights and early mornings. I shall return tomorrow, especially because I just saw this girl’s outfit on Broadway that I am dying to copy. In the meantime, I will post pictures of my cat. 

“I TOLD YOU! I don’t like this brush!!!”
