Welcome to the December Fashionomics Report – and the final one in the series!
This time last year, I predicted I would spend around $1000 on clothes in 2016. But before we find out the final tally, and how accurate my estimate was, let me show you what items I bought in December …
At the Op Shop
Early in the month Miss 20 and I felt the need for an op shop fix, and lo and behold I stumbled across this lovely bright dress.
It’s been home made, and the attention to detail is just amazing! I love how it makes me feel so womanly and feminine. In fact, the hubster loves it so much he reckons I should get a heap of other frocks made with the same pattern (I think he means that *I* should make them, but as I’m only an amateur seamstress, that ain’t gonna happen!). This little gem set me back all of $4.
Shorts and Top
With only one pair of shorts (that actually fits), I felt my wardrobe would benefit from an extra pair – especially seeing as the ones I already had were denim, and really uncomfortable in hot weather.
These khaki shorts are soft and lightweight, as if the peasant top. Both are from Crossroads, and were reduced to $20 each (top originally $34.95, shorts originally $29.95).
Final Fashionomics Report: The Totals
Items bought: 3
This month’s total original ticket “value”: $68.90
I paid: $44
Total Spend for the Year: $1061.42
Seems I was pretty spot on with my personal fashionomics forecast, after all!
How much do you think/guess you would spend on fashion per year?
I spent $650 that included, underwear, shoes and a handbag.
I’m not a big clothes shopper – I tend to do it in spurts. I really need a light weight (comfortable!!) pair of shorts but haven’t found any that suit so am sticking to my 3/4 pants for now. Love that dress btw – it really suits you (and what a bargain!)
I’m not a huge clothes shopper, my total for 2016 was: 2 Leona frocks (on special), one denim maxi, 6 Bali beach dresses (that I paid a total of $30 for). But books & music? I dread to think- I suspect there’s an overseas holiday in there! I’ve enjoyed following your fashion pics.
Love the $4 dress, and you look so chilled in the shorts and top. Happy new year !
Nice predictions! My total spend was $1,820.98 for a ticket value of $4,528.73 and looking forward to seeing how 2017 pans out!
Do you find that keeping track helps to keep your spending under control?!
I’m still holding off on buying new stuff until I know what size I will be. I’m down 38kg though so starting to get more interested in clothes again!!!
Woohoo go Deb!!!
