Crazy 2011 clothes challenge
Comments

Morning! Have just liberated a H&M blouse that I just had to have when it went in the sale (very Chloe, I thought anyway!) then promptly put it in my wardrobe and forgot about it. Anyway, I'm wearing it with jeans today. Tbh, the main reason, it covers my expanding stomach and waistline. No, not pregnant, just Pringled! Can't seem to stop eating them. Also, just signed up to Weightwatchers online. If I stick to it for a week, I'm going to allow myself the underwear I saw and liked in Tesco the next time I go (next Friday, working until then). Will keep you posted. Sorry to go off topic. Also, if I lost a bit of weight, I could wear some of the gorgeous clothes in my wardrobe, I found quite a few silk Coast camisoles the other day. Way too small.

Morning girls,
Ive been struggling with the freedom days tooit is helping to keep me on the weight loss track though ... knowing that spring is imminent & that I probably have nothing to wear that fits is a scary thought.
Another clothes website botherer here - it's become a form of entertainment. currently on the hunt for a purple cardi to go over the too clingy dress I'd love to wear. Headed off to ebay to hunt, didnt find a cardi I liked but next thing I know I've put bids on 3, yes 3 other items :eek:.
I'm off to do a workout quick before my fingers type their way there again :rotfl:
I will report back.0 -

Very pleased with myself and very surprised :rotfl:Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend...

I've liberated a nice tracksuit top I've found in the wardrobe to wear around the house. Unfortunately though I've been looking at the M& S sale, so could have some spends to declare soon.0

Hi all
Just checking in. I'm pleased to report that my clothing budget is still intact. Can't believe that I haven't hit the sales at all. Really pleased with myself.
I have broken out a pair of silver/grey wide leg trousers which I haven't worn since xmas (and they fit a bit better too):D
Im still wearing big jumpers, because lets face it, winter is still hanging about, and I really feel the cold.:(0 -
No spends for me, but I did find a lovely immaculate Next tunic/dress/top for DD in the charity shop so that's another £2.95 spent. Away to update my siggy.

Loving this challenge. I would never have said that I am that keen on shopping for clothes, but before I signed up I would often find myself picking up clothes with the food shop in Mr T, and after a look back through some receipts from pre-Xmas I was shocked at how much I was spending.
It is early days yet, but I have even managed to escape from an unplanned trip to Mr T (with no list) on Thursday without adding to my wardrobe which is good news for me, even after a sneaky peak at some of the new range they have in.
Am going to have a fish through the back of the wardrobe over the weekend to try and find some clothes I haven't worn for ages and make sure I give them an airing soon. Am sure there are some items in there that haven't had a trip out in years, let alone months, although equally there are likely to be a number of items that won't fit any more....Debt Free since Nov 11 (ish) (except the £118000 mortgage) as at Jan 2013 but still hanging around DFW as I need to Stay On Track.

Hi everyone, no spends to report (feel almost saintly) but I do have a new job that requires me to wear different stuff to my last job.
The dress code is black, grey or white office attire. I have a grand total of 1 pair of suitable trousers and 2 suitable blouses. I think I'm going to allocate £150 to spend on work stuff but I don't know how to spend it, any ideas anyone? I'll be working for a big chain of opticians.0
