Sometimes the kids do actually need something (they grow so quickly & also wear out their jeans all.the.time) :-) But I rarely "need" something. . . it's more of a want. Minus running shoes. Those need to be replaced fairly regularly.Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-67240315466676137712012-12-18T12:34:25.730-08:002012-12-18T12:34:25.730-08:00Well, we'll see if I can pull it off. ;-) It&#...Well, we'll see if I can pull it off. ;-) It's my goal, at least. I do have a professional job, but work in an industry with no dress code & my position is typically not customer-facing. My work "uniform" consists of jeans, boots, & sweaters in the fall & winter, & skirts/sandals/dresses in the spring & summer.<br /><br />I stopped coloring my hair about 4 years ago. It's now fully grown in & it's much darker than I expected! My hair is a dark blonde, so I don't have to worry about gray yet, but that is quickly approaching. :-) I get my hair cut about 2x/year, so that's not much of a cost. I do like to get pedicures to take care of my gnarly runners feet.

I definitely need to cut back our clothing budget for 2013, the money simply isn't there and we don't NEED the stuff... well the kids sometimes, but definitely NOT me. *blush* ~Carla~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02341057469246030024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-81421247755040365262012-12-18T11:10:53.594-08:002012-12-18T11:10:53.594-08:00Spending only $25- a month, including running shoe...Spending only $25- a month, including running shoes is a pretty lofty goal. I don't think I could do it. I was impressed with how little you spent in 2012, given you are a professional/career woman. How did it feel in 2012 spending so little on yourself in that category? I imagine that you didn't feel deprived, given you have set an even more strict goal for 2013.<br />I do like my clothes/shoes, but found a trade-off in finding a cheaper place to get my hair cut/colored.

Especially for me, since I grew a size :(. Now I want to lose those dreaded pounds again, so I will have to budget for it. <br /><br />Running outfits/shoes etc. are pricey. I have two kids in cross country and track and am going broke keeping them clothed!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13940623529019637336noreply@blogger.com
