I think I could actually support about 5 stores in Lawrence with how much I shop. I don’t say this proudly, I say this cringing. I am a college student, an incredibly lucky college student to have a little bit of money left over at the end of the month to get to spoil myself. I realize that some people are working full time to make ends meet. Although I continually talk about how great blogging is, I have to admit that I have become even more materialistic.
There I said it.
Phew. I even took a quiz in my marketing class and it listed me as a “trendy and impulsive person.” I don’t know if you could find something that describes me better. I am trendy, impulsive and extremely organized despite the impulsiveness. I am also a complete contradiction. Also known as a woman.
My shopping is ridiculous. I don’t have the money to spend on clothing every week like a lot of people do, I need to stop comparing myself and realize where I am in life. Due to this realization this month, I have joined Danielle for the
It’s just once a week, I know I couldn’t do a whole month of just six pieces but I think once a week is just the perfect amount. I chose for my six pieces: a polka dot chambray, sequin tank top, Zara pin-striped button down, pink pencil skirt, a floral dress and a white pair of crops. (not pictured)
My plan is to really browse my Pinterest for inspiration and really try and change the outfits by accessorizing something I really need to work on! Well, that and saving money. Oi.

I really need to do this… I am feeling the same way lately. Blogging is so amazing but I always feel the need to buy things and "Keep up" and I really can't be spending money. This is the perfect way to start saving money without going a whole month, which I tried in February and it did not work. haha

good luck with your remix! I did a bunch a capsule challenges over the years, but I prefer the ones where I choose some of the under valued things in my closet, ie, the ones that rarely get worn or remixed.
I know how you feel, I have more clothes than any sane person could ever need, and still feel like i have nothing to wear half the time.

Daily I walk into my closet and think "I have nothing to wear, I need to get more accessories and tops." NONE OF WHICH IS TRUE!

You can totally do it! I can't wait to see all the outfits you put together. 🙂

This is a good idea! I don't think I could do it for a while month either but baby steps… I know I've become more materialistic since I started blogging so a budget is really important. And pinterest has saved my life when it comes to remixing and outfit ideas!

Pinterest really is the main reason I feel like I can keep blogging, I suck at remixing things!

Blogging has made me realize even more that I don't need to be shopping all the time, consumerism and being broke is not fashionable.

Broke is not fashionable at all! Such a hard lesson for me to teach myself.

I admit that blogging has had the same effect on me… At the same time, it makes me take care of myself more, and I end up having more self confidence, which feels pretty good!
Fortunately, I fall on the category of university students who don't have much money by the end of the month, so I don't spend that much on clothing..

Yes! When you take care of yourself you have more pride and confidence and that is so important!
