Hello again!
I haven't bought lunch or coffee at all this week, so I'm still feeling pretty proud of myself. It was our intern's last day today, so my boss took us all out. He is absolutely generous. It's really nice being in such a nice work environment.
Tonight I'll be tackling a few bills. Have a couple of bills to pay, but then I should be good for the month. Money is going to be really tight until I get my next paycheck. But then I'll have some to play with (and put toward more debt!).
In terms of other spending, I'm going to hit the grocery store for just a couple of items- and to get quarters so I can do laundry tonight. Things are getting sparse in that department.

Speaking of which, I was getting ready this morning and having an incredibly difficult time finding anything to wear. I've worked from home and went to school really for the last 5 or so years... having a large professional wardrobe has never really been top priority, and it seems all of the dress clothes I own fall into 2 categories:
1. The piece of clothing was bought when I was pretty much in high school, which means it looks far too young or it's entirely too small.
2. I bought it a year ago when I was about 15 pounds heavier, and now it looks baggy and frumpy.
I also am in desperate need of flats... the only pair that isn't gross and falling apart is bright purple. Not the most practical.
Needless to say, my wardrobe needs a hardcore revamp. But I really need to be strategic about it. I can't go throwing around hundreds of dollars on clothes. So my other job in the next week is to address that problem and at least start building (or at least take inventory of what I've got so I can just see where I really need to fill in the blanks).
Enough about clothes. We'll see what we can do 
Hope you are all having a great day!

So after you do your inventory of needs, make a list of what you want and check out thrift stores. The only thing that can be a problem is there are no bright white items in thrift stores, I rarely buy shoes there, and underwear is a no go.
I remember finding a black wool dress suite and several different blouses that made it look like a much bigger wardrobe.

I shop Goodwill all the time for clothes and I have an excellent work wardrobe.
