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 $60 to spend towards clothing. Some months might be more, because I use Ebates to shop online and use a small commission through affiliate links. During the months that I receive money from Ebates and Skimlinks, that amount will also go towards my clothing budget (this month! yay!). This month my budget was $209.49.
I did really good this month! Since I didn’t have a lot of time to shop, I only bought things through the subscription services I’ve been using (Stitch Fix and Rocksbox).
From Stitch Fix, I bought a top and cardigan. This is the Chris & Carol Wilam Zig-Zag Print Top and the 41Hawthorn Abrianna Long Sleeve Cardigan in navy. I love these two items so much! Even though it’s still summer (AND SO HOT) here, my office is pretty cold. The top is eye-catching and comfortable, and the cardigan fits me perfectly. These two items were $112 (that’s including the $20 styling fee).
From Rocksbox, I purchased this House of Harlow 1960 Five Station Necklace in cobalt. This necklace runs for $75 regular price, and it would have been $60 through Rocksbox (they give a 20% discount). I had completed a survey for a $15 credit, so this was $45. After a quick google search to try and find it at a cheaper price, I couldn’t find it cheaper than $45. That clenched it for me! I love it!!
Here’s my budget break down:
Budget $209.49
Stitch Fix $112.00
Rocksbox 45.00
Total $157.00
Balance $ 52.49
I literally have no time to go shopping, so I am super happy with what I purchased this month. I’ve already gotten my next Stitch Fix and Rocksbox. I haven’t decided what to keep yet, but I’ll be sharing all that next month!
