My most popular blog post to date is "How To Set a Clothing Budget" and today I'm adding a new tip for staying on budget: using an Emerald Prepaid MasterCard by H&R Block! I love this idea, because it's the same as using cash, but much safer to carry around (the card is FDIC insured). Having a clothing budget makes purchasing decisions so much easier, and having your budget on an Emerald MasterCard makes staying on budget easier. There are no fees, it's easy to reload with direct deposit or bank transfers, and you can keep track of your balance online. 

In celebration of the Emerald Prepaid MasterCard, H&R Block is giving away a $200 gift card to one J's Everyday Fashion reader!  You can spend it however you would like - a shopping spree, pay your bills, you name it. I'm also sharing a few new emerald outfit ideas above, and some past emerald favorites below. Enter the $200 giveaway in the Rafflecopter box below, and head to my emerald Pinterest board for emerald shopping on a budget. Which outfit is your favorite?

H&R Block has asked me to help promote the Emerald Prepaid MasterCard. The prize was provided by and will be shipped to the winner by H&R Block, but all opinions expressed in the post are my own and not those of H&R Block. Entrants must be 18 or older and located in the US only. No purchase necessary in order to win prize. Winner to be chosen at random.
