This also means I’ve been squirreling away the cash, waiting for that perfect thing to fall in love with. Incidental savings: I haven’t had as much time to shop around.

I’ve decreased my monthly budget drastically. This month’s purchase is a toss-up between another beauty buy or a much-needed fall clothing buy. And working with a small budget is so hard when you WANT EVERYTHING YOU LAY YOUR GREEDY EYES ON. Read on and weigh in!
