Wish I'd been wearing long boots yesterday. Instead I was wearing a long floaty skirt & canvas shoes ... looked like I'd just had a full immersion baptism by the time I got in

It must've been warmer a couple of counties over... so cold here I was considering a jumper before I decided to exercise the dress! So much for summer. Ah well boots and knitted dresses and fab tights back in the shops ... must do a wardrobe review to see what I need for winter. (S*** law being what it is, that should ensure it gets meltingly hot right through to Hallowe'en.)

Sorry, hope you didn't think I was suggesting you were going to waste it, just musing out loud really x

Don't worry, I didn't take or mean it with any offence. I've still not bought anything at all clothes or accessories wise...in fact, I keep finding even more things to get rid of. I will need some warm shoes soon though for winter as I have none at all...only converse style shoes which kill me when it's cold. I'd like maybe sheepskin lined but not Uggs...smarter type boots.

Same here, I'm om the look out for some new winter boots - a pair in black and a pair in brown. Fancying some flurry lined modern style smartish ones

Bought a new fleece for winter from argos for £4.99 which fits great, lovely colour and I'll wear it all winter in the house to keep warm!

A snakeskin print top from Zara @ £20 so that's me almost out for the year

Phew! I know sometimes words in type can easily be taken several diff ways.

I'm a new converse convert, got a hand-me-up pair from our friend's daughter when they came to stay as her's were too small for her. They're neon pink and I love them

Winter boots are a nightmare to find, I'm about to resign my cowboy ones to the bin (£30 from NL a few years ago, my I've had my monies worth out of them). These are the ones OH has purchased (with a little arm twisting ) for my b'day

Price is somewhat :eek: but I can wear them as an everyday boot as the heel isn't to high, and that's what i was looking for. Look really nice on (if I do say so myself ) and really soft leather.

£40 spent today on a pair of trousers and a dress, both on sale though so saved £98 on the two.:D

don't really need to list them all as already way over my budget!

best buy tho was a pair of mules down from £45 to £22.50 then 20% extra which are gold leather and part of the gold had come off so I said 2do you have any more pairs?" and the SA said no but you can have them for £15:j:j:j:jshould be no probs as I have gold polish for my dance shoes:)

Morning All!

Spends to report and declare Lula:)

Just come back from London but spent most of the time sightseeing with friends so we only had 50 mins to do any clothes shopping (yes that's all:o) so we hit primarni in Oxford St.and I managed to get

1 pair linen mix black crop trousers reduced to £4
1 skinny v necked beige cardi £6
1 pack stripey socks £2.50
1 mustard silky vest £2
1 tobacco & white striped rib vest £2.50
1 black thick chunky pattern leggings £6

Total spent £23

Best thing was I "put" together a whole outfit in primarni for one of my friends including shoes as we got totally soaked and she loves it too,so I felt like one os thouse personal shoppers!

Off to update my signature......Can't believe I have actually spent some of my real money, ie.not birthday Xmas or vouchers etc! Felt very strange.......:rotfl:

Hey all. Can I join this please?

The reason why I'm pleased I stumbled upon your thread is that I have come so far in stopping splurging on clothes. I've come down a brand name or two (never designer labels but the more expensive high street shops) and now see the delights of Primark and George at Asda.

I am being cautious in saying my budget is £200 for the last 6 months. I hope to come short of this and will try better next year once I'm into the swing. £200 for 6 months is so much better than I was previously.
