The Broke Joke

I'm borderline broke and well, that's no joke.

Money or the lack thereof has been racking my brain for quite some time now. However, I've accepted that this is the territory that comes with being a super-busy, interning-crazy, fashion addict college student. When I look at my bank account, I can't help but wonder if the almost $500 I spent at Zara five months ago is what caused my current state of impoverish. Or could it have been the $200 plus I spent at Aldo? And although these expensive purchases may have contributed to my diminishing bank account, I think the blame is on life. Yes. I said LIFE. I keep track of what I spend my money on and between interning in New York City and living on my own, life is pretty darn expensive. I guess it's all a part of growing up? I know I'll be fine. And let's just say that for the future I will be making more careful financial decisions. It probably doesn't help that I just bought a $60 Calvin Klein dress from Marshalls for an upcoming school formal...

May be this green dress will bring me more... green!

    I know how you feel! I keep buying things that I shouldn't, but I can't help myself. I've decided to start an online store though, so I can sell things I don't or can't wear anymore. You should think about it. From what I've seen on your blog you have a very nice wardrobe.

    That is a gorgeous dress! Oh money is rubbish isn't it? My bank balance is terrible at the moment and I'm on a shopping ban, but I always find other things to spend money on like going out with friends!

    that's going to be so gorgeous on you!

    I thought working in the mall would be detrimental to my budget but it's actually better because during my breaks I just want to eat & don't feel like treking it down there on days i'm not working.
