The 2010 crazy clothes challenge

redsquirrel80

Hi all, I have to confess a BIG £38 spend! For that though I did get a dress, two tops, two pairs of tights and two necklaces.. and I spent a long time thinking about whether I would get a lot of wear out of them and I think I definitely will... the tops are replacements for some old ones I had to throw out recently. I am tempted to up my budget as I have some unspent holiday money (holiday cancelled due to the flight situation) and a new better-paid job starting soon, but that's not really the point of the challenge is it? So I only have £22.90 left - will need to get surveying for some vouchers!

Hi,

Would like to sign up please... £100.00 for the rest of the year will be a piece of cake thanks to having a local Primarni! Plus my wardrobe is overflowing anyway :P

just bought a bra as figleaves has a 20% off thing at the mo,bought it through quidco but then figleaves asked if I wanted to claim ipoints and when the paypal email came through looks like they took less than the cost so maybe mega savings!!!!!!(plus does not count off (now minus)allowence

Hi all,

had a day in town with mum and did really well as didn't spend a penny on clothes for myself. Got a couple of bargins in M&S for DS and for OH's neice (it's her birthday in September). Mum got bits for Ds, and my two neices but we had a competition going to see who would cave first and buy something for ourselves - neither of us did - woohoo to us lol.

need to get some ebaying done but to be honest I can't be bothered. I may try big wardrobe instead as I joined ages ago and haven't really used it.

Hiya everyone,

I've got my first spend to declare I had to buy a black top to be printed up for a hen party that I'm going on, so unfortunately I can't even wear it again (without getting some very strange looks!)

I bought a black vest from Dorothy Perkins £4 - (with a discount )

Bit gutted that my first spend is on a top that I can't re-use, but still really proud and have shocked myself that I've stuck to this challenge!

I have a question?
I thought that I saw someone mention on here that you could 'claim back' some of your spends if you sold some of your clothes on ebay. Is that right? If so, if I sold I bra for £8 + on ebay (which I just did) could I knock that off my total spent on clothes this year?

Another charity shop spend to declare £4.99 on some Next black jeans and £1.99 on a belt to wear with them. Total left £74.42

Cheers

Erm, I popped into one of my favourite charity shops today. Just for a wee look... :whistle::whistle::whistle:

£13.40 later... one will go fab white my white linen trousers (pin and black, cut out shoulder look thingy - oh I can't explain it, but it's lovely... will also get away with it as a work top in summer So chuffed with that.

The other two I have no intention of wearing and will put them on BW. I do like them but they are green and I don't end to wear much green. Besides they were in perfect condition and one was Diesel and one Abercrombie and Fitch. I just couldn't pass them up.

But guessing I need to decleare them until I sell them on?

I know! I wish I'd posted about how worried I was before I plucked up the courage to go for it! My user name is the same as here, I've hardly put any of my stuff up yet (too busy procrasinating) but have a nose. And let me know your BW persona and I'll look you up. (PM me if you'd rather).
