The Crazy £100 Clothes Challenge

puss14

I am still clothes free, not nude as such but no new ones:D Not at all inspired to buy any until I lose some weight. The way it's going it'll be 2020 and I'll be dressed in 2008 fashion;) Oh well they say fashion is cyclical:rotfl:

Can I join this too please ?I have no idea how much I spend on clothes and I always pick up 'bargains' which I never wear.I too have loads of clothes which are too small and should diet to fit into them rather than buy new larger clothes.

I spent £52.50 in Marks and Spencer, it's hardly my fault they had a sale, I got 2 pairs of jeans (£12 each) a skirt I was totally in love with but did not get before due to price (£39.50 down to £19.50) and a pair of cords (£15 down to £9). Will update properly when I have tried them on as some may go back, am being ruthless and only keeping things I love. In my defence I do not own a pair of jeans or cords, and was planning to get some this year, and the skirt will be a work skirt and I will still have £37.50 left.

Sarah - waiting for the grand total with bated breath ..... :rotfl:

Well, the parcel arrived and either I am fatter than I thought or M&S have made some strange and insulting amendments to their sizing :mad:

Either way, the whole lot has been returned, none of the trousers fitted and the skirt wasn't fabulous, so I am still on £10.:j

I really do need a pair of jeans though

Can I borrow it in November please?
Kidding;) but I have been searching for a purple wedding dress for ages for my November wedding.Did it dye okay?the stitching too?what fabric is it?
If I could get a wedding dress I love and dye it purple I would be very happy.

Its a monsoon frock and the stiching was fine, BUT it's silk and the synthetic lining did not dye so well -went kind of lavender-natural fibres dye much better, and that goes for thread too.
Good luck! Use lots of salt

well done Puss14 - not to worry about wearing 2008 fashions in 2020 ... you may well not be alone :rolleyes:

Sarah - am sorry that your M&S splurge wasnt fruitful but maybe it means that you will find stuff that is even more fabby when you've shrunk a bit

Welcome to shelovestobuystuff - not sure why we all didnt think of that user name :rotfl: will add you to the list right away.

bye for now

Hi all

I have finally succumbed and bought some clothes - spent £14 on 2 tops from Primark but another 2 are going back as I think I got too carried away and now realise that wouldn't leave much for the rest of the year! I know I only bought them as 'comfort' shopping 'cos most of my stuff doesn't fit as I have lost no weight in last 2 months!:mad:

Have been through my wardrobe and taken out rubbish and all stuff that doesn't fit, this is all going into the loft til it does fit or I miss it- I'm ashamed to say that my wardrobe is still full- where does it all come from? I am also going back to Slimming World this week as I know that works for me but I don't have the willpower to do it myself- hopefully the money it costs will save me some in the long run as I will fit into the clothes I already have.

Lula could you update my total to £86- thanks.

I've been good too! Don't know how I am managing it but I am.

Did get a brand new pair of shoes at the weekend though - and didn't pay a single penny for them.
I had a pair that I had bought 6 months ago and the strap broke last week. Took them back to the shop on the off chance and they exchanged them for a brand new pair, no questions asked! Result.
