The rules of the game

Today I read that the most you should spend on clothes is 5% of your salary.

I am a freelancer, and right now things are going well, but you never know when people might need my proofreading and editing services.

So I have a limit, and a very clear one. Never more than 100 euros per month, no matter how much I like the clothes or accesories.

This means I am only allowing myself to buy basics, rather than super trendy things.

Also, I am looking out for sales! I love sales! And these days things seem to be on sale perpetually, so there’s that!

Another goal of mine is to learn to sew. It’s on top of my list, together with learning to bike (a necessity that I have managed to skip in the last 3 years I lived here)! If I can learn to alter things, a whole world opens up for me, I think!
