I really love tops like this sweater that are longer in the back. That way my legs still look long (or as long as they can, poor little things) from the front, but I can keep the rear view hidden. “What does this skinny bitch have to hide?” you may be wondering. A legitimate question, but please…watch the language. It’s not a body part that I’m worried about camouflaging. Honestly, I like hiding my bum sometimes just so I can wear whatever underwear I want. THERE. I SAID IT.

I find VPL very distracting on other people, so I always try to prevent that tacky look on myself. But sometimes it’s just exhausting trying to think ahead to which panties are appropriate with which bottoms…Do I need a nude pair today? A thong? Some people don’t mind thongs but I avoid them whenever possible. That’s when sweaters like this one come in handy. Who knows what’s going on back there? Only me. Well, and now you and everyone else who’s reading this right now. Dammit.

Budgeting Bloggers: September

September Budget Breakdown

 

Ah, September. The month where magazines gets thicker, and it’s time to buy all of the fashion. And this year, it was also the month where I found myself still unemployed and with a dwindling savings account. Great timing, huh? It was the perfect time to start a Le Tote subscription (you can read more about that here): I wore fun new stuff practically every day I left the house, and I barely paid anything for it! And, of course, I did take advantage of a couple sales and added some more permanent pieces to my closet. With all that, plus a few gifted items, it really wasn’t so painful being on an extra budgety budget this month. Here’s how it all worked out…

My Budget:

  • +$150 (normal starting amount)
  • +$20 (returned a bracelet I bought last month and never wore)
  • +$33 (sold old clothes)
  • [note: I did have blog income this month, but I didn’t add it to my budget like I usually do – willpower!]

            = $203

What I Spent:

            = $206 (total retail value: $302)

What I Received:
