How much money does it cost to look good?
I mean really good. Like, I look like I care about my looks and my clothes.
I always struggle with this concept. I'm usually so concerned about saving money and so focused on making sure everyone else has what they need. Don't get me wrong, I do hit up the Nordstrom anniversary sale or black friday...and I entertain a wonderful capsule wardrobe...
but is there room for more?
Cosmo says we should spend 5% of our take home pay on our clothes. Hahaha I guess that's pre-day care costs?
I guess the key is making sure you have a few key pieces that work - basic pieces, follow the whole capsule wardrobe thing where every piece matches - and budgeting whatever amount suits your budget for a few splurges along the way.
A blog about saving on the routine things you do in life - refinancing, grocery shopping, daycare, housecleaning, and drinking coffee.
