    Another £15 has disappeared into the clothing ether...

    £12 on grey work trousers from M&S (same as the black ones I bought fairly recently, but this is one of the few styles I've found that suits me!)

    £3 on another scarf from Primark (MUST STAY OUT OF PRIMARK!)

    Morning All

    wearing the lightweight black wool skirt I found lurking in my wardrobe a few weeks ago. Has come up a treat after washing & pressing. Haven't worn it for a few years and is a bit longer than i remember - almost down to my ankles. wearing with grey/black stripey top, black opaque tights and bunion-killing shoes (came to work in trainers though :D )

    note to self - must wear/buy more non-black clothing!

    still got £20 giftcard left over from Christmas, might go spending this week.

    non-black clothing, non-black clothing,

  • I've got £51 to declare already, on a dress and a skirt and postage. Might return the dress if it doesn't fit, but I'll put it all in my budget now and reduce it later if needs be.

    Don't feel too bad about the spends cos they were both on my 'to buy' list, so stuff I needed.
    MayGC:£118/£360 April:£283
    CrazyClothesChallenge:£117
    Piggybank:£1,850

    Hello lovelies,

    I'm having a sort of Rebellion Freedom Friday:

    Old RI jeans, old old Ramones T-shirt, black cardi & converse. Paid off CC last night so being a carefree teenager today :D

    Andie - all out of x bf's to wear then ;)

    Rosemary - shame about bras :( but I've never managed to get any other than M&S Ceriso range or Per Una or Fig Leaves own to fit me.
