New Years Resolution 2012-The Budget

I was chatting with my cousin on New Years Eve and we were talking about our new year resolutions.  I had a few in mind but none of these had the ugly word budget in them.  We got to talking about money, so uncouth I know, but none the less we were talking about money.  Thinking about my business I asked her what she thought a reasonable amount to spend per month on clothes was.  Her answer was "Hmmmm,  I don't know."  I put it to some thought and realized I had no idea what that number was for me either.  I decided then and there that I was going to figure it out.  I am challenging myself to adhere to a budget.  I am not exactly sure what the details are going to be but I know that I am going to set a limit of $300 per month.  Some of you may think that is too much and some of you may think that is too little, but for me I am sure it will be a challenge.
I have all of the basics for sure so I will just be adding fun pieces and maybe a new staple here and there (God forbid I change sizes this year).  
I have already started my shopping and I am going to share with you what it is that I am buying and at the end of every month what I decided to keep.  
I am looking forward to it!
