I wore a Freedom Tuesday outfit yesterday

Gap jeans in dark denim - bought in August and never worn - bizarrely they are quite loose fitting now which I didn't expect at all! Also wore the cream 3/4 sleeved top from Mr T bought the other week under a white Per Una blouse I got for Christmas. As it was so warm I undid the blouse and wore it as a light cardi type thing after a while and my friend commented on it being nice! But as I was at uni I had my rather large purple rucksack on to carry my folder and lunch etc on the very long walk up there and back so maybe not as chic as it sounds!

So will need to find another Freedom outfit for tomorrow for uni - might wear my grey denim pencil skirt I've worn once so far since buying it in Nov last year. Just need to find a top I won't sweat too much in on the big walk again tomorrow!

So still no spends this month but I am planning to pop in and see if M+S have anything in if we finish earlier on Friday to use the voucher, but if not no worry I'll have a look on Sat instead if I visit mum

Am naughty... just ordered dress and two tops from new Bravissimo clothing line. Although if they fit right, will be worn loads. Going to get other Bravissimo summer dresses out shortly as was so warm today :j

looked at the new clothing line and did the measuring to see what size I was (curvy /super curvey/OMG curvy!!! ) how I spell anyway if I measure myself the results are off the scale...my shape does not exist:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:If I go by the size clothes I buy then I am super curvy which seems very strange as Gok would class me as boyish!! am thinking of going into the store to ask advice.
as the clothes in my wardrobe vary from 16 to 20 for tops and 10 to 14 for pants/skirts all of which I can wear it is hard to work out what shape I am supposed to be!
wearing a cami bought to (supposedly) match a skirt but which is the wrong colour really:( so in a freedom meets pink candle day decided to wear it even tho I am just planning to do the garden:rotfl:at the mo I have old cords and a shrug on with it but hopefully will progress to shorts later in the day:)

Hello all. I'm new here, and am joining up to various challenges to help get my spending under control.

One of my biggest problems is clothes shopping online, I just can't seem to stop myself!

So could I have £315 for April-Dec (£35 per month) which will be a significant improvement on my usual expenditure. I need a few new summer tops for work which I'll buy after pay day, and I'll also need a new coat but I'll worry about that much later in the year.

Hello you fabby lot - seems like the spending is slowing down somewhat :A

Hello & welcome to GroinSexyPavement ... interesting username there :think:

I'm pleased to report that :

1) I've not bought a single item in the last week & nor am I 'watching' any on ebay - possibly a reformed character :undecided:

2) I've now lost about 8lbs which means that I have been able to fit into my linen trousers for work the last 2 days.

Next landmark will hopefully be my beloved jeans .

Well done on the fitting into the jeans Lulu - currently doing a different version of the wardrobe revamp, but joining in with the freedon days - it's a wonderful idea
