Since I have had the luxury of living at home & having earned money since I was 12, I've come to love fashion & have what some may call expensive taste. And knowing this is my last year at home, I know my expensive taste on frivolous things, like fashion, won't be possible - tear!
In my last year at home, I plan to save save save. Although, I've been saving for some time & feel I have done quite well, I would like to maximize my safety net prior to departing!
To truly learn how to do more with less, I've given myself a challenge for 2010 - only spend $1000 on clothes, shoes & accessories over the course of the year, while remaining stylish!
I will learn to sew from my mom, a trained fashion designer (now a fabulous interior designer). This way, if there's an amazing dress, skirt or top that I can't afford, I will make it - well try to.
This will not be easy. In fact, I think it will be hard & sometimes sad. But, I want to learn how to do more with less! Who knows, maybe I'll be surprised to learn how much I can do with less! At least, that's how I felt when I bought my Smart Car.
So, I will try to document my look everyday for the next 365 days, along with any purchases and the remaining amount from my initial $1000. This will encourage me not to slack off!
I am both excited & scared to do this for reasons only another fashion lover could understand! And when I'm feeling fashion deprived, I will look to my friends & live vicariously through them!
Here I go...
