HOW I SPENT MY BUDGET IN OCTOBER | Hannah Louise Poston

[@jessielynn5255]

I really like the idea of seasonal hauls for your 2021 project. I think the intermittent no-buys, harken back to the roots of your channel in a very poetic way.

[@heleng5253]

I do most of my shopping twice a year. The rest of the year I do ‘shopping behaviours ‘. By the time I purchase my wish list is so curated that i feel confident in my purchases, and so familiar to me that getting new things feels like an errand. I find I always need to want something, and this drags out wanting the same thing, and spaces out the purchases.

[@parcheesy33]

So - one person's perspective - but I loved when your replacements were included in the budget because a limited resource reveals so much about our priorities! For example, what we say (i.e. "I hate my underwear") and what we do (i.e. not replace our underwear every month when the budget is refreshed and the bank account is full) vary because when push comes to shove, there are just other items that consistently were prioritized, which is so telling about what we love!

[@HannahLouisePoston]

yep, that's why I did it last year, and it did reveal a lot of interesting things about my priorities and behavior! But I've been much happier with this year's model. I'll try to circle back and explain in further in an end-of-year wrap-up video.

Things I have never said: “Hey, little bras!” Because my bra cups are the size of my face 😩 Your bras are so pretty and wee!

[@madikahn273]

sameeeee

[@lovecate1]

This used to be me. I used to be an L cup but I got a reduction. Bras are so much cheaper now.

[@kimberlysh88]

Ok this made me laugh 😂

[@albaguzman8031]

I have always done seasonal spending. For me its usually 3 times a year: for my birthday which is in August, for Christmas/New Year, and around the begining of summer. I look for quality, design, craftmanship, ethical practices/sustainability and/or local small brands, and I also prefer unique pieces...all of this usually means I have expensive taste! But my budget is small and I do not want to get into credit card debt...so I save up for 3-4 months and make wishlists in the meantime. I give myself permission to buy guilt free whatever is 1) still on the wishlist after months of tweaks and changes and 2) still available from the seller when the money is finally saved up. I do include replacements in this system because it forces me to really be conscientious of what and why I am purchasing and item. This ended up longer than expected 😅 sorry.

[@anotherlemontree]

So interesting! Thanks for sharing your process :)

[@DislikesAlgorithms]

That's how I spend my budget too. I tend to spend a bunch at the beginning of each season and don't spend again until I saved up a bunch. I exclude replacements in this budget because usually those numbers are very very low and far inbetween. I spend the most in the summer and winter!

[@leticiadelbianco9916]

OMG OMG OMG, I NEED to do this plan with my budget next year too! I'm excited. Hope you decide to do it! I'm feeling it. Can you imagine how amazing and satisfying would be to wake up and think: 'yay, my spend week is coming!' hahahahah

[@Anna-pd6dc]

Have you considered making a house dress for yourself? I know you have the one skirt but do you ever make other clothes for yourself? I feel like the silhouette of the dress from nuuly is totally something you could recreate in a perfect unique print?

[@Reiliferei]

oooh that would be so enoyable to watch

[@rebeccamercado6254]

I think she said she packed her sewing machines into storage, so that may not be something she can do at the moment. But definitely interesting!

[@miscellaneouscell]

I agree, it's such a simple design. You could buy a new basic sewing machine and a few yards of fabric for the price of the dress.

[@Anna-pd6dc]

@@Reiliferei yeah I know this isn't a diy channel but I would love to see Hannah's design process!

[@HannahLouisePoston]

maybe one day! my machines are in storage, and it would definitely take some trial and error to figure out a new design. I get this question a lot (about why I don't make more of my own clothes), and it can be hard to explain, but I know from experience that the time it would take me to figure it out (time away from my billable hours at grant writing and paid YT work), plus the cost of the materials that I would end up using in the trial and error process, plus the cost of actual materials for the dress...added all together it would end up costing me way, way more than the price of this dress! I'd have made it myself, but it would basically be a thousand-dollar dress :)

[@augustlunaonline]

I love how you explain your thought process behind all of your purchases! It helps me reflect on why I want to buy things and how I like to use things in my life.

[@courtneyrodgers8435]

I really like this yellow blouse and high ponytail look. Very fresh

[@jessielindsey11]

I love that your underwear are not in your beauty budget, but rather a separate budget. I find this way of thinking helpful because I am someone who has a lot of guilt about spending. By thinking of my moisturizer or shampoo as necessities that will come out of my main budget, I have less guilt. And my beauty budget can be spent on more fun things! Tangentially related: I am in a phase where I want to want something (I know you know that feeling) but I already have everything I need, and plenty I don’t. I guess it’s the upcoming election stressing me out but I’m feeling that familiar pull to retail therapy. I don’t have a history of overspending so I’m not worried about getting into debt or anything, but I just know that owning 7 handbags instead of 6 isn’t going to make me happier. Sigh.

[@HannahLouisePoston]

yes, it's been really interesting to do it both ways (as part of the budget and then as not part)! I think it only works because I have enough self-control not to use the replacements as an excuse to go overboard, and it makes me glad that I haven't done that. I feel you with the "want to want" phase. It's a tough moment!

[@Reiliferei]

lovely blouse! I was about to ask what you had in store for next year for budget but you answered my question. I love how you spoke about a no buy as this relaxing thing. Also you convinced me I deserve new underwear, it has been long past due.

[@missvinnet5507]

I love that second dress! It creates such a fantasy. On the note of your budget, it's so crazy to think that the year is almost over and it's time for a new theme. I think my brain never really left March. Everything feels so frozen!

[@littlewingedzebra]

yes! i'm finally getting a haircut today. got my last one right before things shut down the second week of march. my hair is so long it makes no sense. ;-) this year has been a doozy.

[@HannahLouisePoston]

I feel the same!

[@KirstyJonesLouise]

Just in regards to the Nuuly dress - you might want to check out the Gorman brand (based in Australia) they have similar styles of prints and what I consider house dresses as well. I’m actually in the process of purchasing a new linen house dress as well - I love having something easy to pop on after work or during the weekend that looks nice that you don’t have to think about. I know I’ll get a lot of wear out of it, but I’m struggling to purchase at full price from a site that I know does discounts! I might just push the button at some point this weekend .... (It is from the New Zealand brand Nyne if anyone is nosey :) )

[@aileenbell6750]

I adore this look on you. Thanks for another delightful video.

[@pixiethistle]

I too have been stalking beautiful DÔEN dresses of late! They look so dreamy, effortless, classic, but so not in my budget! I will try to save and buy one next year! I appreciate the review of the undergarments. I've been looking for some for months because I want them to be very plain (no names or designs on the outside or other fussy business), ethical, comfortable, and modestly priced. Seasonal shopping only with no buys in between sounds like an interesting experiment! Maybe your subscribers will try it with you!

[@denisha8596]

Oh, how nice to see.The three colours of the panties cover "nude" for most skin tones.

[@cb8003]

I find these videos so helpful. Hearing you process your wants and needs and show your love in details. It's helping me think about what matters to me. I tend to either restrict myself too much and keep leaving things I NEED in my online cart.. or I will open the flood gates and I will get silly and excited and buy more than needed. I'm trying to learn its ok not to penny pinch but choose stuff that brings joy and just pay more at the time I need it. It's actually really hard learning that balance so I love these videos and hearing you way up not just the items but when you will need them. I've been prepping ahead for things I will want such as lisa eldridge and terramoons.. Bar those I've been on a low/no buy until black friday and even for that I have a list of items I'm interested in so I'm not caught up in the silliness of it all.

[@sydneyyoung3]

When you moved into your studio you talked about how being on a budget, having gone on a no-buy, effected the move. Could you talk about how budget and “stuff” crossed in with this move. Especially considering you put lots of your possessions in storage. Thx

[@KirstyJonesLouise]

I love that you are already thinking of next years “project” - your spending feast/famine habits remind me of how last year at the end of the year the fluidity between years made you feel OK about spending more. So good on you for already working on that thought process!

[@madikahn273]

You're such an inspiration for me, Hannah! I've been watching your videos three years now. I've just started seriously budgeting this past month, and it has been so hard. I just tallied up my numbers, and I'm over in almost every category. However, I know I'm over by less than I would have been if I had not budgeted, so I guess that's some progress, right? Because my numbers weren't too bad, I can treat November as a blank slate and try again with my same budgeted amounts. Trying to look at this month as information gathering as opposed to a failure, because I really didn't know what I was dealing with before.

[@HannahLouisePoston]

yes, I think knowing that you are over by less than you would be if you hadn't budgeted is KEY. I would have liked to spend less this year, too (who wouldn't?) but I know that if I had never done a no-buy and become a person who budgets, I would probably have spend ten thousand dollars this year instead of two. And THAT is what matters.

[@susanne4028]

Just looooove the fact that you talk about underwear so much. They are important after all. I feel like mine 'unfortunately' last forever and I hardly ever get the chance to finally buy new ones.

[@angiem6383]

Hey Hannah! I'm loving the vintage/ rockabilly feel of your look today. It really suits u.

[@melligolightly]

I'm so here for the feast & famine content! Basically, that's what I've been doing for years now. Shopping just isn't a day to day activity for me and I agree that this is actually freeing. I tend to get quite obsessive with basically anything, so shopping (reseraching, online shopping, going shopping in stores, trying on, making choices, returning etc.) is really stressing me out. It helps my mental health to limit the time periods I'm dealing with all of this. But I'm still not where I want to be yet. Probably I could limit the actual shopping time frames further, restrict my wishlist, working on me constantly wanting new / better things, reducing my scarcity mindset and much more. I would love to go on this journey with you. I'm often fed up with myself and want buying new things to be something enjoyable while also being content in the meantime and using my energy for more important things.

[@cymbrecolon]

I LOVE the idea of like a quarterly haul. It will be so much fun when you do it to feel like you got to get either a lot of stuff, or one really nice thing. But I do wonder if I did this, would I obsess over what I’m going to buy? What if you did a small $30-$50 budget monthly, the quarterly you did a haul with whatever is leftover plus an additional $2-300

[@HannahLouisePoston]

interestinggggggggg

[@sondrahannan]

Seasonal budget spending is such a great idea! I am excited to hear more about it as well.

[@blubbblubb632]

That blouse is everything. Great look!

[@AngLSTM]

So lovely and bright! I wish I had the same joy over things you do, or the WANT for joy over everything.

[@rachellopez8357]

Also, I just watched the vid in which you swatch every bullet lipstick you own, and it took everything in me not to buy every one. I’ve really hit a wall because of the pandemic/election trauma, but I knew you would disapprove, so I didn’t do it!

[@courtneycullen6289]

I LOVE getting slightly crazy printed casual-leaning dresses from Nuuly as rentals. They are "enough" for the office and casual lawyer things both in person and in zoom, they often tick my preference for quirky clothes boxes, since otherwise I wear a lot of black/navy/gray with one pop of color, they are comfortable and fun, and most of the time they are something that I wouldn't buy. But occasionally I do, since I am now onto my second year of Nuuly and renting things I've rented multiple times, so the prices are really fair and reasonable. I also rented a black tie waist jumpsuit with super wide legs, something I would probably never even think to try on. I wore it on my birthday with heels. I wore it another time with chucks and a cardi and it's so reasonable, I will likely buy it, along with this chunky wool short sleeved sweater that I think I've rented 5 times. I usually rent 4 things that are completely solid, I know will work, practical things, and then 2 things that are utterly wacky either in style or cut and it just works tremendously well for me and then allows me to stalk forever pieces until I find the right thing at the right price (it helps that places like Nordstrom are running almost constant 40-60% sales and eBay is flourishing). I may do a closet declutter this weekend now that I have enough experience with Nuuly and ebay/poshmark some things because I need a distraction stronger than work to prevent me from consantly refreshing the WaPo page. I am so glad I mindfully chose to save these videos for today, knowing I needed them for sanity sake.

[@kate98765]

So looking forward to your 2021 project(s). I love your budget videos, they’ve helped me a lot 💜

[@AmyMarks]

I am thinking the same for next year. This year I'm doing a strict numbered low-buy for clothes (my weakness!). Next year I'm cutting the number again to 21 items and I've decided to structure it seasonally like this: 4 items in March for Spring 1 treasure in April (for my beginning of May birthday) 4 items in June for Summer 4 items in September for Autumn 4 items in December for Winter 4 free pieces to spend throughout the year - leaving room for fate!

[@HannahLouisePoston]

amazing!

[@Ophelia441]

You may have already addressed this in a previous video so I need to keep looking (I just discovered your channel), but I would love a video all about how you budget and what tools, if any, you use! :) Cheers!

[@f.i.4093]

You phrased the concept of budgeting so well! Not „pennypinching“, but putting your spendings into perspective. I also tend to buy in seasons, mostly because my salaries vary per month, but also because I tend to spend my money more considerate that way and overall feel happier to invest once in an area and be done with it. For example, I replaced a whole chunk of old sportswear, underwear and my 10 year old hiking shoes in July, and I won’t have to spend money on those items for years. Instead of constantly spending 50$ per month and being grumpy about how little or bad quality I can afford, I‘ll bite the bullet - and I sure end up spending less in the long run. I personally just have to check that I don‘t have too many spending clusters per year and that I remain clear and honest about what I can afford in a year.

[@hiyahowsthings9119]

Oh I love the idea of a seasonal budget, never thought or heard about that before. But I think it makes good sense. As the seasons change I definitely feel inspired and want/need to update some clothing/makeup/decor items etc. Also, like you used to be, I can be good with my spending for a few months and then all hell breaks loose and the credit card takes a beating. So maybe this would fit how it seems I’m predisposed to function, but hopefully with a bit more thought going into it. I’m going to look into it some more for myself, but would definitely be interested in seeing your take on this too. So do it Hannah, do it, do it, do it...........Ok, bye ❤️

[@imaginarycosmetics]

I don't care about my underwear at all for me it's purely functional, I haven't purchased any new underwear for probably 6+ years, some seams ripped lately but I repaired them. I love the second dress, it seems very versatile.

[@jenniferholian5664]

Fascinating insight as always Hannah! I'd loved to hear your thoughts on how Covid and lockdowns helped you to not spend? Or do you always buy online? Did your windowshpping habits die because of the no buy. I seriously fall down on the buying little things here and there without thinking and forgetting they add up!!

[@offthebrand]

I am figuring out how my binge brain works and the seasonal haul idea sounds very appealing to me as well. I can abstain completely but I cannot moderate!

[@corriemcclain7960]

Me looking at the nuuly dress as a sewer and thinking about $50 of fabric and hour of time it would take to make max. And I sob at the fact that it could go for that much money in other parts of our country. If I got 60 for it here it would a miracle.

[@brainsbeauty]

Ooohh a hidden treat, we got a sneak peak at your project for next year!! So exciting. I use a bit of a mix between beauty budgeting and seasonal. So I do have a monthly budget but unless I reaaally can't wait for something (usually can) I'll just let the money roll over until I've amassed a good chunk and then do a haul. I still plan in those months what I'd like to buy and write it down but just hold off. I feel like hauls that have restricted budget let the things on my wishlist battle it out so I only select the best rather than losing that comparative quality between purchases if they were dispersed over time

[@jessicacarlson6840]

I've been wanting to try doen for a long time. How fun. yes, I've been wanting to do a seasonal shopping haul if you will for my clothes. Fall spring winter summer. I got the idea from the Anna edit. I like the idea, as you said, that it makes me think about shopping less and spend less time doing it throughout the year.

[@lovecate1]

In a previous video you mentioned interest in the PML pallets because you wanted the special texture shades. Kinkysweat, who is a PML connoisseur, said in her last PML video that she thinks the holiday quads this year only have one special shade and that the holiday quads from last year, which I believe are still available on the PML website had either 3 or 4 special shades. The quads from last year cost a little more than this years quads too. I can neither confirm nor deny this info but just in case you were considering purchasing the quads it may be worth confirming.

[@HannahLouisePoston]

[@leerodriguez9564]

Before youtube and all the consumerism crazyness I used to buy only about 4 times a year....Memorial Day Sales, 4th of July Sales and Black Friday....there was a few other points where I'd shop for specific things here and there (mattress/homeware on presidents day, electronics on back to school season). Funny enough after looking at my budget I pretty much go on 'feast and famine' cycles naturally, big blow out sale of my favorite brand in April, then no-buy makeup for the rest of the summer. Once a year sale of my favorite skincare, then 3 month no buy on that category etc etc

[@twiceliving]

I always watch your videos on my lunch break in the back room and it has been interesting watching a video about underwear! 🤣

[@beaherzberg]

Please keep us updated about the knickey underwear. I’ve heard that they wear out rather quickly, which deterred me. Love my baserange pair that I bought last year, but they are fairly pricey to buy a weeks worth of them. Hoping they last for you! And then I’d buy some!

[@jesskathan]

Also, that lipstick was gorgeous! I saw it on you in another video and wondered what it was, thinking I need it! I totally get it. :) I would love one of those lipsticks, but I basically only wear lip balm or Bobbi Brown Crushed lip colors.

[@hcomet1999]

Oof I really felt that comment about the tempting Costco underwear... I also have been casually looking for sustainable underwear but some of them are shockingly expensive! I appreciate your recommendation bc the pricing seems reasonable for the quality and ethical production.

[@alicemehtemetian6382]

for seasonal budgets/shopping i’ve been doing it for about 2 decades now and can give a few points: 1) never buy full price. 2) never skimp on quality: a pair of boots that costs 1k $/€ “in season” in 3 months will be max 500 in 3 months and they last at least 10-12 years so price per year is max 50. and because of the quality level even in year 12 you’ll still have good boots and get compliments on it. plus if you calculate cost per wear you’ll be making money from an accounting perspective. 3) don’t spend on trends unless small accessories to spice up timeless pieces. 4) buy shoes from shoe companies, handbags from handbag companies and clothing from clothing companies. for example a louis vuitton bag in the waxed canvas can be anywhere from 300 to 1200 (they don’t do sales) but the construction and durability makes them last that you will be able to pass them on to your daughter, while a bag from moschino won’t last for more than 2 years in spite having it repaired and i really “mistreat” my hand bags. 5) think about what you actually need each season and invest in that. for example this season i really need a pair of comfortable low hell boots but that are also tall as i live in a cold climate, so am waiting for the sales as a mid-market brand of shoes that you don’t have in the states that costs around 300 will not last at least 10 years but more like 3, while a pair from bally on sale will be 500 or 600 but i’ve bought a pair from them in 2007 and they are still in excellent condition. it really is the practice of “we’re too poor to buy cheap things” which is the reality when you do the math of boots that i love bought 13 years ago for 600 that i got compliments on this tuesday. that’s less than 50 a year, while a pair of 50 dollar or euro boots look cheap, are made cheaply in some asian country in god knows what conditions and the materials are all synthetic which are normally oil product derivatives which are not biodegradable, while a pair of boots made in italy by an artisan that is paid more than the management (was in the fashion/ luxury business there so know the details), with premium quality leather is biodegradable and also made with love and attention to detail. 6) never buy prada: their business model is to make things that don’t last so you repurchase 7) buy items made in europe ideally italy or france as the work conditions there are incredible for the artisans, as most american brands don’t manufacture in the usa anyway. so after writing a short essay feel free to message me if you gave any questions

[@darcyreadssometimes3904]

I haven't done anything with seasonal shopping, but it makes me think of the KZbinr "My Green Closet." She does ethical and sustainable capsule wardrobes, recently in the last year or so had a baby, and so occasionally makes purchases for her seasonal capsules. If you're interested. :)

[@mariaordal2510]

Aha! This video came at the absolute perfect time for me. Not only am I always excited whenever I see a new episode of HLP’s critically acclaimed “What I Bought This Month”, but I am also in dire need of underwear. I’ve been putting off doing the research to find a nice, simple, ethical underwear brand for ages and am thrilled to know where to go now. I just purchased 5 pairs. Thank you so much!! Also, that Doen dress is absolutely amazing. It’s gorgeous and I hope to see it pop up in your upcoming clothing haul! I love seeing your thoughts and opinions on clothing, they’re so refreshingly substantive; at some point, I’d love to see what you think of some of Sezane’s clothes. They’re a brand that has some pieces that are a little more wild than I tend to go for, but every so often have something I’m into. I’d be curious if anything they offer is up your alley!

[@HannahLouisePoston]

I'm curious about Sezane!

[@parcheesy33]

Hey Maria - I wanted to check out Sezane but had trouble finding info on their manufacturing practices. At first I thought they must be ethical b/c their prices are quite high but I can't find any confirmation so I think the might just be expensive?

[@mariaordal2510]

@@parcheesy33 They're definitely more opaque than I would like. They claim to have good manufacturing practices, but beyond a few videos, there's not much to support that. They use a better-than-average amount of "sustainable" or recycled fabrics, which is nice, but not quite enough. I like some of their styles, but stay away from their polyester and synthetic blend pieces. Otherwise, the quality of construction is pretty decent. Do you know of any good (actually ethical) brands? It's a constant search!

I love the boden shirt and shift and wrap dresses. They have the in cotton linen and jersey. And it s so lovely high quality and lovely prints. I have a couple of printed casual dresses from them that have kept well. On actual shirt dresses i do recommend zara. I have cotton shirtdresses ( love specifically white and light blue one and a an eye of the horus print ). And then i know zara is fast fashion but for cotton shirts and cotton dresses the quality has proved quite good. I m not a tshirt person and i have 5 y old shirts that look really crisp

[@miscellaneouscell]

That dress is unique and it looks very comfortable. I would need to inspect the dress in person, but as a seamstress it looks like a very basic design. It can be sewn quickly, it doesn't have a unique fit, cut, or lining. $289 is excessive for what is being offered. I could buy a lot of material and make several dresses.

[@corriemcclain7960]

THIS BLOUSE

I just bought some underwear from organic basics. I really like them but they are expensive enough. I tried their bras but they didn't work for me. The cup size was fine but too loose under the bust. But the underwear and tshirts are great!

Buying underwear is ALWAYS a saga! I’ve never heard of this brand, and I’ll have to check them out. I fell for the ads by parade, and I think their underwear is really cute but the material isn’t cotton, which I didn’t realize until it was too late 🙄

Ôde lingerie love the soft lace bras and matching underwear. Feels super luxe. Eco friendly ;-). More a treat than regular everyday wear. Though I’m buying them every few months to have luxury everyday

[@AlisonBurtt]

I love this. I need new underwear too!

[@rebekahgonzalez1103]

I really love boody underwear. But now I’m really tempted to try knickey next time it’s time to replace a few pairs

Do you have an idea of how you will approach your budget next year?

totally random, but your look in this video makes me think it's about 1946 and you're about to go horse riding at your grandparents' estate in connecticut.

Don t you think that such is life a balancing act between the fun money and the necessities money. I mean if i managed to replace all my glasses with bohemia crystal and all my coffe cups with fine china and slippers shearling it would be normal to avoid also a fancy eyeliner and a fancy lipstick :)

If you need any more pairs of underwear, I cannot recommend Arq enough!

Doen! They sell the dreamiest sweaters, but so, so expensive. I go to the website to ogle these sweaters, and then I just turn away sadly.

[@HannahLouisePoston]

they are so dreamy!
