Spending?

[bakaxtenshi]

Ok so I just paid off my insane credit card bill, and I'm ready to start with a clean slate.

I decided that I will be spending about a 1/4 of what I usually spend in a month, because:

1. Need to save money for Christmas
2. Need money for my trip to Japan
3. Want to start going out to dinner and other fun things that are expensive

Is it worth it, or

I'm starting a money journal because I feel like on Fridays I'm rich, and then come Monday I'm broke and I have no idea where it all went >.< Thankfully though, I keep my credit in check and have dipped into my savings only once for frivolous shit.

Lol I wanna start a money journal now.... john_spends

Lol, mine's just a paper journal. http://www.mint.com/ is supposedly good for keeping track of all your debt, but I still deal with paper money mostly.

Recently i've been spending more then I should what with buying a dress new form AATP but normally I barley spend a quarter of that. . . . Fabric is my real problem. . . . -_-;;;; I can't seem to leave a fabric store without just a few yards of this or that.

I like the coordinate a lot! Red and black together is one of my favorite combos. What type of socks and shoes do you plan on wearing? I think that should pretty much complete the outfit for the most part.

I guess for me when it comes to spending, since I mainly sew all my lolita clothes, it goes to fabric and lace xD Which sooner or later equates near the prices of brand items (I'd say the time it takes me also counts as money!) And it's worse because I don't have a job, and I basically get things off of allowances and saved money, which is slim now!

And now with Tokyo Rebel opened, my spending will no doubt go up! x_x

lol! I actually was a good girl and restrained myself for five months! I didn't make any major lolita purchases during that time. I did make some small ones, though, like headbows, socks, things like that. It was hell, though. But I had no choice, really...I didn't get a paycheck for the first six weeks that I worked at my new job.

That's a beautiful coord though! I would suggest more princely accessories like a necklace or a broach.

I've never been able to fit brand so I never got into buying much of it and have been a home sewer, but lately I spend about 5%-10% a month on vintage kimono and related items. Does that count as brand? ^_^;

And I think the outfit looks great as is. If you really wanted, maybe add a black hat?
