The Completely Crazy 2012 Clothes Challenge

Good luck with the new job Ruby Eskimo- looking at your sig., you should be able to put together a good little selection and still stay in budget.

Hi I've never been for this long without spending money on clothes (4 months) but have had to buy a few things yesterday, underwear and nightwear so have spent £45. Signature will be updated.

Updated my sig to show the £12 on a new pair of fitted, linen blend trousers from the Bull Ring... bought before we went for lunch:rotfl:

Updated sig again as ordered 2 new pairs of trainers to substitute for the ones that are past their best...

Just a quick update, me and DH still haven't spent a penny on new clothes this year :j

He was moaning at the weekend that he has 'nothing to wear', so I spend an hour on Saturday clearing out his drawers and his shelves in the wardrobe. He has a habit of wearing the same 6 tshirts and 3 pairs of jeans, washing them, then wearing all the same things the next week. I flipped the clothes over, his usual stuff are now underneath the usual worn stuff. He feels like he has a whole new wardrobe :T

Will need to get us both new underwear and socks soon, maybe at the end of this month. Maybe lol x

Oh dear , I have sinned. I bought a t shirt in fat face for £15. I am not even sure if i even like it. I want to take it back but this shop is miles away from me, and i keep finding excuses for taking it back.
Normally i dont feel so bad about buying something, but i feel I totally let myself down. I probably end up giving it away to justify the costs.:)

I have only £7.90 left from my entire 200 for the year. :eek: I doubt that I will be able to do it , but am still hopeful that it won't be too much over.

I bought 2 shirts from fat face over 3 years ago, and I still love them. They fit so well, they wash so well and still look good after been worn lots of times. Don't feel bad for your purchase, for 15.00pounds if it lasts and washes as well as my 2 shirts then you've got yourself a bargain. Fair better than buying new cheap t-shirts every year, and definately don't give it away :eek:

Well done on your no spends for the year :T

I've just bought hubby some new undies, and even though they were buy a pack, get the second pack 50% off, plus 10% discount it still pained me :rotfl:. Anyway today he received a belated birthday card which had money in, so now I'm totally made up as his undies are covered (no pun intended) and I have change :T

ETA: Just to clarify, hubby isn't included in this challenge but I still can't bear to spend money.

First freedom day in ages. i dug out a sundress I haven't worn in ages... okay I had to wear it over jeans with a chunky cardie but felt quite glam... until DH decided he felt like a walk in the country and I had to swap my heels for trainers
