Being Broke Sucks
The list of things we need/want has grown bigger and bigger while my mood have gone in the opposite direction. We were saving to remodel our bathroom, and we´re not really much short, but it means cutting back on a lot of other things. Getting married is expensive, moving is expesive, now I just want to live for a while. And so we decided to put life before the bathroom. Yay! Most of my accessories is still sitting in boxes and now I will be able to afford building a new wardrobe - and get some new stuff. The bathroom will just have to wait a little…
Dress: H&M
Tights: H&M
Scarf: Lindex
Shoes: Secondhand

Saving money is tiresome:) I have never had any savings in my life, I always spend every note I happen to earn.
Good luck with your new wardrobe!
and I like that kind of tights you’re wearing in the picture…they look warm and cozy. Shoes are also great, I like peep-toe ones too, but they have polka dots and a ribbon which don’t match with my everyday’s punk rocker look - so I only wear them around the house.

Hi! Me and my boy will marry in september, and saving money is almost impossible. We don´t waste, but is gone anyway!.
About your hair, don´t be afraid of a change, have you think about changing the colour? it helps to renew your image without a dramatic cut.
And concerning the boring wardrobe…I felt the same days ago, has someting in common with the ending of the year? maybe…
XXX and congratulations for the blog.

Don’t forgrt how much good stuff happend to you last year: finding THE guy, buying your own place. I dont no about your finances but you have still managed to get some nice things for your home allready. Especially I like this grey sofa and the lamp with pattern of trees.
You are a lucky girl.
