Give Me Back My Five Bucks

I bought this dress when I first met BF. We had only been dating a few weeks and he asked me to go to his company Christmas party. I was unemployed at the time, so I didn’t have much money – but I knew I didn’t have anything fancy enough for a Christmas party. So I went out to Banana Republic and bought the dress. At regular price (around $200 after tax). I know, I know. And you know what the worst part about it is? I didn’t even wear it to the party. When BF found out what his … Continue reading →

For those who were curious about IndiDenim, I signed up for their website, created jeans and then just kind of left it. Wanted to think about it some more.

BudgetsAreSexy asks: What would you do with 3 financial do-overs? I personally don’t regret anything I’ve done in my life, otherwise I wouldn’t be the person I am today. You learn from everything you do, and you can take those learning experiences and apply that knowledge when new situations arise. That being said, it’s still fun (or maybe a little tragic) to think about where I would be had I done these 3 things differently: I wouldn’t have moved into my own apartment in between switching colleges. When I came back from the USA after completing 2.5 years of University, … Continue reading →
