Colour Challenge: I need to set a budget

Its 6 sleeps to my colour challenge and that means shopping, lots of it and not much time. So I've been spending lots of time online shopping.  After visiting the US earlier this year opened my eyes to just how much extra we pay in Australia, its criminal really. Then shopping on the weekend just confirmed it - Australia is expensive! So to save some money I am going to give online shopping a good go.  I have already purchased a skirt but I need to get committed.

My first stop was Rachel Roy - I just LOVE her style! The dress I posted here which is my one color item is a Rachel Roy which I bought when I was in the US for $120!  I first came across Rachel Roy whilst watching Private Practice (yes I know sad).  The main Dr lady was wearing an amazing dress so I Googled and found a link to Rachel Roy - I have been in love ever since.

This was the first dress I fell in love with and found it in Australia for $700.  I bought it in the US for $80 on sale! (Not part of my color challenge obviously)



Right back to the point! I need to set a budget, and that means I need a wardrobe plan.  It would be really easy to buy a whole heap of colorful items and still not be able to put an outfit together because none of it matches!  I'm not looking forward to it but I'm going to try.  I'll be using Kendi Everyday's 30 for 30 as a base.
