2009 Clothing expenses

Last year I totaled up what I spent on clothing, accessories, shoes etc. Well most of it because I didn't keep all the receipts. Total for 2008 was $1808.50.

This year, I tried to keep all the receipts (probably about 90% made it) and here is the total.....

$1223.7

Not bad right? About $100 of that is for my bridesmaid dress for a wedding in April.

One of my favorite deals of the year would have to be a purple strapless dress which I totally rocked during my company party. Bought on sale for $21.67.

This year's goal is to buy quality (classic style and good materials) while keeping cost down.
