The Crazy £100 Clothes Challenge

I went shopping today - in my own wardrobe :T :T :T

I have got so many things I haven't worn for years so I am rediscovering them (many of which still have their tags on)

Am going to spend the weekend sorting out my wardrobe, I will pile them into keep/bin/charity shop and hopefully just have nice things left. I hate throwing things out but I think I will find it very a good learning experience and I will finally have more space.

I think this could be the way forward :T I am going to organise my wardrobe too, it might help emphasise everything I've GOT and hence don't need any more of!

Brilliant :rotfl: .

Well done Buffy :A

Ooooh sarah - you must always pack away clothes at the end of the season, it's so much fun re opening the next year ( a bit like christmas stockings) & seeing the old faithful friends & stuff unworn is all new & full of promise . I have a trunk left over from boarding school days & put both mine & any of DDs clothes that were too big in & then we have a 'grand reopening' ceremony. This year it WILL be fun because I WILL be able to fit into everything . There's always stuff you'd forgotten about too, some good :j & some OMG what was I thinking .

I was given a bag of clothes for DD today & as they're all a bit big,will probably be perfect for next year... would it be terribly wrong to make her do the challenge next year instead of me .

I know it's late but i'd like to join..... i haven't spent anything so far this year (i know it's only the 5th! lol)

£100 for the year... i was already planning not buying anything for me or Erin before end of march... so £100 for the remaining 9 months is feasible! eeek!

no weddings this year, so that helps...!

Good luck everybody.I'd love to join in but I don't think I could do it. I'm watching this thread carefully though, and really mean to cut down my clothes shopping this year.

Hmmm. Have just been told that I need to buy at least 1 suit for some seminars at work this year. Where am I going to buy a very very cheap suit from that fits me well?

Can I join in at this late stage? I think I'll be able to manage this as I don't really buy any clothes and if I do they're from Primark!

I don't know what your budget is, but Next clothes are good and there's at least 50% off at the mo. I don't wear suits now, but when I used to I always thought it best to pay a bit more for a good quality suit that'll last (waistline permitting!) than buy a dead cheap polyester one.

Mind you, I only shop at M&S now, because I HATE shopping so would rather keep it to one shop where I know everything fits. There are suits on there for £50 (not in the sale though).

Hope this helps.
