Welcome (to reality)

Well, we made it. We graduated from an Ivy League school, landed jobs in our nation's capital, and scored our very own apartments minus the loser roommates, extra-long twin beds, and holes in the walls masquerading as closets. Life seemed pretty sweet until we saw those first miserable paychecks. Living next door to Bloomingdales, Jimmy Choo, and Tiffany was suddenly a cruel joke. But rather than resign ourselves to a lifetime of K-Mart blue-light specials, we put our resourcefulness to the test and started scouting out the best deals in the city. This blog is dedicated to every girl who has had to choose between buying groceries and that killer new pair of shoes. (Obviously you bought the shoes, didn't you?) Welcome, and we look forward to sharing with you our struggles to be fabulous on entry-level paychecks.
