The 2010 crazy clothes challenge

think I am cracking up as remember writing this tip earlier today but now can't find it!!!!

when you need to buy new bras buy skintone as they go well under all colours(white under white shows up!)

also in the cold weather I started wearing camis under my long sleeved v neck tops matching them to my trousers or skirt and picking out a colour than is in the top.....a bit of a different outfit at no extra cost

Please take another £4.00 from my total Lula. I bought a new handbag last night and as these are my downfall I am going to include them in my total.

bags are a big weakness for me i must count up how many i have. i stay well away from them when out shopping.

I feel SO virtuous....not tempted by anything other than that blouse I mentioned way back when...and haven't made ANY purchases either. I've even been browsing online shops...not a flicker!!

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing good, just reporting in, I have resisted temptation so far and still have my whole £100 left. I think I am going to include shoes in this too and I was watching a pair of seconds Emu boots on Ebay, they finished today and I am very proud of myself that I did not bid. I did a massive ironing last night and struggled to fit everything in my drawers so I feel determined again NOT to buy any more clothes just yet. I have stayed away from the sales, just have to stop reading the grabbit forum on here with all the bargains! Keep up the good work everyone.

Can I join please, even though we're in February now?
I would like my budget to be £60 to last me until September please This is when I go on holiday.. so will need some new things. Sorry for cheating slightly!

So far this year I have brought a pair of shorts £21.99, but took back two items to river island which were £10 each that I brought before christmas. So take £1.99 off my budget please
Also, today I brought a jumper from Primark £9.00, and some socks £2.00. I'm including socks because I have an issue with excessively buying them lol! Thanks guys, hope I can stick to this!

I'm not including underwear, jewellery or bags. Thanks again :D

Do not mention the 'B' word please - I am still pining for the gorgeous purple & silver DKNY one I didnt buy just before christmas - it was a thre figure sum & I would have needed boots to go with it ... & that's how it all began really

Welcome to self sufficient wannabe & nicole.17 :hello:

Flickering Ember & Primula well done to both for resisting :A

Hey everyone!
Just dropping by to say I've resisted temptation so far and not bought any clothes etc!

Shopping day today! Technically I've not spend any more money but have some new clothes; this is in the form of an interest free loan from the Bank of Mum; I will pay her back though and that will come from the clothes budget!

Red military-style trench coat - £5 reduced from £30.
Black jumper dress - £1.50 reduced from £12.
Black handkerchief hem cardigan - £1.50 reduced from £12.
Black frilly umbrella - £2 reduced from £4.

So a total spend of £10 for me please Lula. Incredibly pleased with myself and my purchases despite spending money.
