I Allow Myself to Spend $200 a Month on Clothes, and This Is What I Bought For April

Apr 29 2019 - 10:50am

I spend a majority of my time at work (and outside work) online shopping [1] and curating roundups. I love every second of it, but it can be a dangerous game for my bank account . . . and my spending ended up spiraling out of control. In an effort to be more responsible, I decided to put myself on a $200-a-month shopping budget.

The second April 1 rolled around, I already had my purchases lined up. This month, I'm headed to a music festival and girls getaway weekend, so naturally I was hunting for swimsuits [2], sunglasses, dresses [3], and more. I managed to get everything I wanted for just $1 over budget, and hey — close enough, right? Keep scrolling to see everything I bought and get inspired for your own shopping trip.
