Setting Budget

In my profile, I have explained about my aim of starting this blog. I want to be able to spend sensibly and enjoy my purchase more. Fashion has always been a big part of me since I was little. Thus I was not surprised later on I studied BA in Fashion & Textiles and had my own fashion label for three years in Australia. Then I decided to come to London, one of the fashion capitals to embrace fashion!

From my childhood memory, buying new clothes had always been a very happy and enjoyable experience. Part of it was probably because Mum and Dad paid for it! It is still enjoyable for me now but there is always a sense of guilt due to adulthood responsibilities. Although I cannot afford most of the designer clothes, I do not want to settle for throw away fashion from high street. Beautiful clothes should be able to be kept and be timeless. So, the only way to buy what I'd like would be to plan for the purchases.

My first step is to set a budget for myself. After listing out all my household expenses, I managed to squeeze out £150-£200 a month for my personal guilty pleasure. I gave myself a lead way of the range between £150 to £200 depending on that particular month's overall expense.

So here I have set up my budget. Wish me luck and happy shopping to me!
