So it was a good day. I decided to go to the mall. This sounds a little counterproductive, but really it all worked out. I've started a new practice called keeping my reciepts when I buy clothes. Then, if I go a month or so without wearing them once, I take them back and get my refund. I did this today with a sweater I bought and never wore. $10.61 into my $20 challenge, only because it's a good practice that I never really embraced before. I hate returning things. ha. But aside from that, I found the perfect outfit to wear for my scholarship interview on the 17th. I have really none of my own professional clothing, but I found a pair of dresspants on the clearance rack for $14.99 and a cute plain top to wear with it for $16.50. Spending the money seems rather silly, but it was definitely a needed ensemble, and I can wear it not only to my scholarship interview, but also the job interview I have coming up. And if I go to dinner with Noel's grandparents (Noel is my boyfriend. ha). And to work. So it all works out. And on top of it, I got good news in the mail. Another scholarship from the university! That meeting I had with the department chair really paid off. Woo! So it was a good day, and my running total for the challenge is now $30.61. Not too bad for one day.
$20 challenge strikes again!
