I buy new and I buy used. When something strikes my fancy I splurge. There is no real system.\u00a0There is also no shame in thrifted clothes. It&#8217;s the only way to have a broad variety when you live on a single income and shop for 5 people. I guess we could all get by with 7 tops and 7 bottoms but that would bore me to tears. It would make laundry easier, but . . .I&#8217;ll take laundry any day for a closet full of fun clothes so I can can create a look for me and my boys can create looks they love. MY husband? He kinda has a uniform. Khakis and polos. That&#8217;s it. He&#8217;s easy. He needs work. I try. He shoves it to the back. Or ignores it because it&#8217;s not his norm. I do occasionally get to hand pick what he wears. Now if I could just get him to do it on his own.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve gone way off. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesecondhandmagpie.blogspot.com\/\">Brittany&#8217;s blog<\/a> lead me to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kendieveryday.com\/\">another blog, then another.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the blogs I read talked about a yearly clothing\/fashion budget.<\/p>\n<p>It got me to thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have one?<\/p>\n<p>Should I consider having one?<\/p>\n<p>How would I EVEN break it up?<\/p>\n<p>The boys are constantly growing and needing more and I get bored easily and want a new piece to keep things fresh.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a girl in a chair reading this, don&#8217;t think to much into fashion and what you can wear. If it makes you feel good, wear it. There is no such thing as &#8220;Wheelchair&#8221; specific fashion. That&#8217;s bull.<\/p>\n<p>So. That&#8217;s my question.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have a clothing budget FOR YOU?<\/p>\n<p>If so, how much?<\/p>\n<p>If not, how much do you THINK you spend on clothes per year.
