The 2010 crazy clothes challenge

:wave: Hi Lula,

I found a denim jacket in M&S sale clearance. Does this count? If it does it was .....£5

Everything else I bought was underwear, pajamas or for work or covered by my birthday money. Thank goodness for a March birthday

Hi all, still no personal spends for me but work spends are up to £140 after I bought a lovely new dress, cover up and corsage for work today.

Hello fabby lovely girls

I have been very good & update the front page already & bring news that should make museum worker proud

I had a brilliant day on friday; I havent been to a charity shop all year so decide to visit the ones in the next village (parked in Waitrose for free too0 . I got a cute little Top Shop top which will be ideal for work - £2 :T. I also found a pair of Next trousers, again ideal for work - £4 & then a lovely tunic top from Top Shop - £3.50. All the items from that shop were in immaculate condition & looked hardly worn :j.

I then whizzed across the road to the other shop & the first thing I saw when I walked in was Gok Wans book for £2.50

A very karmic day for me.

I now have £45 left from my work clothes budget & £90.51 from my home clothes budget.

Happy New Clothes to all & yes luxor, I am going to count that denim jacket, sorry .

Gratefulforhelp - linen ? ooooh that's hard work sweetie, I have much admiration for you, my troussers are creased just from hanging in the wardrobe; could be the lack of space ...

More disclosures from me sadly:

£5.99 on a pair of cycling capri leggings from Lidl of all places - properly padded in all the right places....should make spinning a little less 'challenging'

£29.99 on a jacket. Lula - I require official adjudication on this one. It is a soft shell jacket so a kind of waterproof fleece. I do need a new lightweight Summer jacket but I mostly got it for my trek..... My old 'faux' leather jacket is looking pretty worn.

No problem Lula - it's definitely not something I can wear for work (unless I want detention & a letter home to my parents )
Also, £5 is far, far better than the original £29.50 although it's not nearly as good as your CS finds :T

Shall update my sig.

Do we count P.J'S? - had to buy a "summer" shortie pair yesterday - still wearing my Winter fluffy ones and I have been "sweating cobs!" and having some sleepless nights recently - much more comfy last night - and no its not the big "M" before anyone asks!lol.

Oh no, George sent me an email and I accidentally walked into the clothes section in Asda today. Bought the t-shirt with the sequin tiger on it (absolutely gorgeous! :T) and a grey jumper with skirt attached (looks better than it sounds) which will look great with leggings.

Good news....I'm not claiming them as I bought them with my birthday money :j Was saving it for a haircut but never mind, the split ends can wait.

Think I'm going to find this challenge harder than I imagined....

Hi everyone!

Well, I went shopping with my Mum yesterday -she's a bad influence!! But luckily I couldn't find anything that fit me in the Next sale!

I did buy a dress for £50 from TK Maxx though :eek::eek: I NEVER normally spend that much on 1 item, even before this challenge! However, it is for my friend's wedding & I am a kindof bridesmaid (we're all trying to wear outfits that match the colour scheme which is metallic / mink). I said that this wasn't part of my budget when I joined up, so it doesn't count!
:T


I also bought a dress from Dorothy Perkins in the sale. It was £17 so still quite a chunk of my budget, but I will wear it lots & lots!

I feel really naughty now! But it's my birthday next month, so I will be able to spend birthday money on any more urges!!!

If I don't see you before...Happy Easter!
