Beg, Borrow, or Thrift Tuesday -- Budget Look Book #1
It's Tuesday and that means it's time for #begborroworthrift!
Each week I will share what I wore for the week and what it cost. Over the last year, I have slimmed down my wardrobe and have been working more with capsule items. (That is the cost of downsizing from a 1750 sq. ft. home to a 320 sq. ft. trailer with no real closet.) I am also committed to a very low clothing budget. VERY low!!! My goal is to dress for a week head-to-toe for under $200! Let's see if I can do it!
(Note: I'm not including sales tax because it varies by region. Usually, it alls between 7.25-8.5% in store and often none online.)
The first week is short -- just two days -- so it doesn't really count but here's what I wore. (BTW, I am so not a fashion model so please ignore the dorky poses.)
