This year, I will be documenting my monthly clothing budget. I will show you my budget for each month and what I bought with it. Every month, I have a base budget of $60 to spend towards clothing. Some months might be more, because I use Ebates to shop online, earn a little money through brand collaborations and affiliate links, and sometimes have a side job that gets added to my base budget. This month’s budget was $196.85.
I tried Stitch Fix for the first time this month. I paid the $20 styling fee and decided to keep this top for an additional $48, which brought this order’s total to $68. You can read about my Stitch Fix experience here.
Yet again, I find a cute shirt at Target and pay full price for it. My Target infamously sells out of my size in the things I want, so I grab them up when I see them. I have yet to regret this method of Target purchasing. 🙂 This was $24.54 after tax.
A couple weekends ago, Molly, Angela, and I went shopping. It was so much fun! We picked the best weekend to shop, as most stores had an additional percentage off clearance. We met at H&M, which had 50% off final clearance. I bought these three tops and one cardigan. I paid $18.15. Huzzah!
We stopped by The Limited, which is not a store at which I usually shop. They also had 50% off clearance, so yay (obvs). I purchased this sleeveless top to wear under cardigans at work. This white top is very comfortable and is also great for the office. I paid $26.66.
Next, we went to Loft and Gap. The tank on the right is from Loft, and it’s part of the Lou & Grey line. Um, where have I been? The Lou & Grey line is so pretty. I paid $19.20 for this tank top.
The top on the left is from Gap. It’s one of their Essential V-Necks. I love it because it has a washed-out look. This has already been worn a ton. I paid $10.24.
We also went to Sephora and Lush. My total clothing budget was actually quite a bit larger this month, but I spent it on other things like books, makeup, and bubble bars (yay). If you’re interested in the other things I purchased, I filmed a huge haul for my channel. Side note: I have also made a second channel for all my book-y type things, so if you’re interested in that sort of thing make sure to subscribe. I’ll be uploading my July book haul on Saturday, and I have a couple book reviews coming up next month. End of side note!
