This month I started out with $26 left over from last month's budget, sold $70 worth of clothes on ebay, and had my regular $200 clothing budget for a total of $296. I continued to knock out my wish list. I shopped for shoes that wouldn't hurt my knees. I went on a vacation and did a lot of shopping, but not a ton of buying. For each new thing I bought, I tried to get rid of one thing from my wardrobe.

As usual, I tried a lot of things that I returned. The desire to never pack and ship another pair of shoes will hopefully keep me from shopping a bit in the future!
How did you all do? Does $218 sound like a lot to spend in a month? It does to me, I'm hoping to slow down a bit in June...
