Budgeting Bloggers: October

 

October Budget Breakdown

Rain doesn’t usually bother me that much, but we’re having the gloomiest gloom that ever gloomed, and it’s really messing with me. I think I got spoiled with the perfect fall weather over the weekend. Plus, I still have some new stuff I bought this month (like those pink sunglasses and olive suede wedges) that I haven’t worn yet and the rain is ruining my very fashionable plans! Since I’m feeling like a Grumpy Gretel at the moment, I’m going to keep the chit chat short and just let you peruse the goodies I added to my wardrobe this month.

My Budget

  • ~$253 (my usual starting budget of $150, plus $103 unspent last month)
  • ~$410 (blog income)
  • ~$57 (sold old clothes)

       = $720

What I Spent

       = $753 (total retail value $1185)

I went over budget just $33, which I pinky swear I will make up next month. Unless, you know, I have too much wine and Kate Spade has a flash sale. (Actually, KS is having a major (up to 75% off) sale right now! Hide the Sauvignon Blanc…)

Finally, as always, I want to disclose the things you’ve seen me wear that I didn’t have to pay for. Sweet deal, I know. And all it takes is hundreds of hours of hard work and creativity.

  1. And all it takes is hundreds of hours of hard work and creativity.

    hahahaha WHAT?! They don’t just hand out stuff to everyone? Weird 😉

  2. I love that green Target bag! I know the shape of it (though lovely!) would start to bug me, but the color is gorgeous (and I’m not even a green fan!).

    1. This month it came from Shopstyle Collective affiliate links and a sponsored post. You can also look into Google Adsense. Best of luck!

  3. Every lady needs (faux) fur in her life, love that you got yourself some. I’m also really into the navy sweatshirt with the bronze sequins.

  4. We’re dress twins! I picked up that BB Dakota dress too during the Shopbop sale and I looooove it. I actually just bought a pair of black fringe booties to wear with it.

    Also, those deep olive wedges are everything.
