Here we come again. Another month is over and I am thinking about my ” better me ” wardrobe and A Year Without Shopping Challenge. If you don’t know what my challenge is all about, you can check it here.
Ups and Downs
At the beginning of the month, I felt little overwhelmed with all the people going shopping because the weather was getting slightly better. I was even tempted to buy something, at least some T-shirts, but then I just quickly walked away. I still have a few unworn t-shirts. I walked away. Really good. Except for that little tiny moment I had no urge to buy anything.
Proper Use of My Clothes
As the weather getting warmer I pulling out more pieces and leaving behind the winter uniform, but already thinking how difficult it will be at the end of the year. I running low on socks, T-shirts getting stained ( my baby burbs quite a lot ), and jeans getting used a lot. I still didn’t throw anything, except socks, but some items will have to go soon. I am really looking forward what autumn will bring and how challenging it will be.
Benefits of this challenge
Except giving me more and more space all over my wardrobe also saves us quite a bit of money. Very good feeling.
It gave me more time to work in the evenings, build my business and improve my photography skills. What I am the happiest about.
What did I Buy
In April I sold few items on eBay, it gave me some extra money to spent on bits and pieces on my website. I bought Microsoft Word for Mac, Photoshop, and Tripod.
