2013 Stylish Resolutions

At the 2nd half of last year, I began sharing my shopping budget*, how I stick to it (or don't), what I purchase, & how these items fit in to my existing wardrobe... but this year I am going big or going home.... A budget for the whole year!

Based on my average shopping allowance of $250/month, my year shopping budget is $3,000.... which admittedly sounds like an incredibly large amount of money to this cheap graduate student. So I am resolving to spend this money wisely, continue my journey to build a versatile closet based around my 50 wardrobe staples, & find quality items for less along the way!

What am I dreaming of adding to my closet in 2013?

These 10 fabulous items top my wish list:

{1.} structured bag, {2.} classy tuxedo jacket, {3.} day-to-night wool dress pants, {4.} timeless tortoise shell sunnies, {5.} a simple, but stunning day dress, {6.} moto-chic leather gloves, {7.} gorgeous silk scarf, {8.} flattering A-line skirt, {9.} silk PJs (pretty enough for out of the house), {10.} unique, statement necklace (I research frogs at school, so I definitely have my eye on this one)

{ 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10 }

The total dollar amount of these 10 items tops $2,300 so I will definitely be scouting equally fabulous items but for a fraction of the price! Being called a frugal fashionista is a compliment in my book!

What are you style resolutions for 2013?

Any dream items you would love to score for a deal?
