Was wandering if someone a bit more technical could post a link from the clothes old style????? Clothes new style starts on about page 10??? I have posted pics of my capsule which i LOVE.

Bronnie, why don't you identify the about 10 items you love then go on a shop to fill in the gaps, sticking to a colour pallett.

I have been extremly busy today sorting out my dd clothes, that was one chore let me tell you!! I have decided that rather than a capsule for her i would just do 7 outfits (plus school uniform) with a co-ordinating shoes and jackets. took pics will post tommorro!!

Bye for now

I used to be terrible for impulse buying things I would never wear, well pregnancy and having a baby has scuppered that for me, but now I'm a bit naughty buying things for DD, but at least I make sure she wears them.

I found my problem was that my idea of clothes I love, and what suits me were worlds apart! Now I don't have much time to think about what I'm putting on, I just need things that are easy to wash and wear but still have a bit of my personality in them iyswim. I tend to wear dresses with leggings and jeans a lot, and this has cut down on lot's of clothes that I used to buy. I also had loads of dresses I would never wear as I don't like getting my legs out (why buy dresses then I don't know) but now I buy leggings so am getting wear out of them for the first time (since I bought them some 5-6 years ago!!!!)

TBH I still have a lot of stuff to get rid of and still need to sort out my floordrobe! I did get rid of 4 bin bags of things when I was pregnant- I just thought if I hadn't worn it yet, then I def wouldn't wear it when i had a saggy tummy and leaky boobs to worry about! lol! Then when dd was about 4 months old, I felt a bit bored with my look so got rid of 2 more bin bags and bought 4 items which I love!

I fluctuate in size so much that is seems not very money saving to get rid of stuff that no longer fits. Have done it before and now end up having to buy new stuff.

Anyone wanna clothes swop?

If I kept everything that I have bought over the past five years (most impulse and unplanned) I would fill about five wardrobes, however I am ruthless about getting rid and this year I decided that I would no longer go to the shops for leisure and I am sticking to it. I hate to think how much money I have wasted over the years on trends and impulse buys and sales stuff that I have never worn. I used to have to look around the shops at least once a week but I am getting much better and can't remember the last time I went, oh yes it was last week:o but I didn't buy anything for me.

When I was going through a stressful time last year I used to do a lot of shopping, mainly in charity shops. Ended up with lot of stuff I didn't really wear. Am culling it gradually and now only keep stuff I wear and try to be careful about buying new stuff. Also keep out of season stuff in spare room. However am having some wardrobes fitted so will need to go though everying again and have a sort out.
