There is no doubt that the recession has given new meaning to shopping as we know it. So much so that we’ve all culminated a full list of “what to buys” fully set within a certain budget. Now that I think of it….anyone who lives in NYC knows that before you slap money aside for monthly bills – shopping expenses have their own set budget. Naturally, I’ve taken a step back on the usual spur-of-the-moment lapse of shopping judgment…just to assess my financial situation in full. Why? Because realistically it’s smart to do so….and I’ve given myself a budget of $300. Now that may sound like a whole lot of money for some….and there are some would spend $300 in a blink of an eye. But let’s just say you were given $300, do you think that you could pull off an entire ensemble (plus adding accessories into the mix)? I think that you can!
