I check five items off my to-do list and then feel like I can go out to find some things I need for photo shoots - I love looking at clothes so this is a reward for having gotten things done.

Coffee is free as is water and fruit - a lovely perk. I arrive at The Wing having deferred breakfast so I could get my favorite overnight oats there at The Perch. I head to the subway, latte in hand, where I put $40 on my MetroCard and get points for swiping in someone I know from my neighborhood who needs to go to work. The staff they have hired are just as fabulous as they are and includes the most optimistic young man I have ever encountered in my life. It opened a few months ago and is owned by the most wonderful young French couple - bakers. The first money I spend each day is always at my neighborhood bakery and coffee shop, Frenchy’s. I spend a lot of time working at The Wing - especially on Sunday, because it is quiet and I can set myself up for the week ahead. This is the first week that the fashion world wakes up after the holidays and the week that my spring semester begins, which means I am teaching two online courses and am thinking about future content and looks.

The frugal girl in me says, “What a bargain! You don’t want to regret not getting that The Row bag at such a discounted price!” while the extravagant, luxury girl in me says, “No, put that money towards getting new spring looks from the runway at full price!” I know that at some point I will just run off to Beacon’s Closet, which I did - the very first day I started my Money Diary. The fact that I have and use a debit card complicates matters further, as do all the emails from my favorite shopping haunts advertising “75% off designer” sales creating massive temptation.
My parents came from families that represented both ends of the economic spectrum and I am somewhat nervous about recording my expenses this week as I fear my spending will reflect the two proverbial poles of my DNA: extravagant and frugal (although some of my financial mood swings can be blamed on my being a Gemini). I was a social worker before that - still am - and have had to be, at times, very creative in order to remain living in NYC. I am a professor but started a fashion blog four years ago because I was feeling bored with academia and wanted to try something new. You may know her on Instagram as The Accidental Icon. In this edition of MR Money Diaries, Lyn Slater, a professor of social work and a fashion blogger, tracks her spending for a week.
