Crazy 2011 clothes challenge

Blonde_Ambition

Hi everyone. Just checking in. Still trying to stick with this challenge. Returned some black patent shoes to TK Maxx as I decided they were too high and very uncomfortable. Had used a voucher card and £8 cash so I'm going to take £8 off my total spend. Also returned a dress to Topshop as I probably wouldn't wear it more than a few times if at all. So that's £20 I don't need to declare.

Going on holiday next month so am going wardrobe shopping later. I hope there's not too many gaps that would mean I have to go real shopping.

Wore a new black top out on Sat night. A friend said I'd worn the same thing last time we were out. That told me that I definitely look virtually the same when I wear my favourite combo of jeans with one of my MANY black tops. So no more!

Now just need to stop buying reduced underwear!

Have a great day. Am not working today so will try to join in Freedom Monday.

E.T.A. .....with trousers .... much too cold without!

Spend to declare!

Just bought some Roxy sandals for slumming it round the house/garden - £35 down to £7.99 in TK Maxx

So that makes my total £98.98/£600

I've got £43 to declare.

£8 on a new pair of slippers which were desperately needed as my old ones were falling apart at the seams, little bits of stuffing kept falling out! :eek:

£35 in Tesco on a black skirt, a mauvey coloured long sleeved t-shirt with kind of ruffled bits on the sleeves and a grey cardigan, all for work. My new office is much smarter than where I used to work so I am having to stock up on smart workwear, which is annoying!

Haven't posted for a while - had no spends to report!!!
unfortunately the damn kids keep on growing and I have had to add £3 for a Hoodie and £4 for socks for my DD and it's the eldest's birthday next week and all his trousers are too short so have had to buy new trousers, t-shirts and a hoodie to keep him going until the summer hols when he wears shorts every day and it doesn't matter how long they are!!!
Still am very proud of the fact that I have NOT SPENT A SINGLE PENNY on clothes for me in 2011 - kids only and then only when they grow out of something.

LittleBoots

I have a spend of £14 to report on some gym stuff. Literally the cheapest top and bottoms sports direct have! Just gotta join the gym now...

Oh dear. Gone a bit mad buying suits from Next and M&S for a (hopefully) job interview.
Shan't keep everything, of course.
Even so, thought I should 'fess up straight away...
Not posting how much I spent until I decide what to keep.
Yeah...right....

£10 to declare - long satin skirt in the Coast sale, reduced from £95. Not needed as have enough 'occasion' stuff that never gets exercised, but it goes perfectly with a fab corset that's hardly been worn. Already have accessories that will go so that's one new summer wedding/ posh dinner outfit for £10 . Not feeling at all guilty as have been looking for a skirt like that ever since I bought the corset about 6 years ago!:rotfl:

I'm taking the trousers back I got a week or so ago, so that's £15 added back onto my total. Think I'm at £38 spent now, but might have more to declare when I get to the shops!
