The Completely Crazy 2012 Clothes Challenge

fedupandskint

Well, couldn't resist the Wallis sale - a dress at half price fell into my basket along with a tunic top also half price. Managed to use the extra 18% off code and free del. So work out at £18 each instead of £60 for the dress and £36 for the top.

Anyway, its free to take back to the shop if they look rubbish or don't fit as the dress is very different to what I would normally wear along with a different colour. I'll see what they look like on when they arrive and then try hard to not buy anything for the rest of June.

Yeah! My shoes have been refunded already (really quick, can highly recommend Rubbersole for customer service). Which means my new total is £186.29 / £500 , so i'm currently £60 under my monthly allowance :A

I have fallen off the wagon again of late; but I am now determined to not buy another thing for the remainder of June, This won't be hard as I am now between contracts and every pound is a prisoner!
It's good to be back.

today might not be the day to wear my mini skirt and sandals????

back to boots and trousers:(:(:(:(
can't believe I still have £296 of my total left:jmust be the weather as not remotely interested in buying summer clothes,def not good for the economy:(
wore my new Marks shoes(the ones I reordered to get 20% off) last night and was complimented on them:)problem with stilletos(which for some strange reason seem wide fit in Marks)is that they a/ sink into the grass on the drive and b/ get stuck in the outside door mat:rotfl:

it is pouring down here at the moment:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Hello all, took a pair of linen trousers back yesterday as they were too small. Refuse to buy the next size up, I shall have to work a little harder shifting the extra inches. I also bought 2 pairs of cs trousers, neither of which go any further than my thighs. There's my incentive, my resolve is affirmed. No more buying!!!!!

I would like to join this challenge if possible? I know I'm 6 months late

As there is only 6 months left in the year I cant see why I need to buy any new clothes (unless something drastic happens), so I'm going to set my budget for the year at £50 pounds that is to only be touched if absolutely necessary.

Its probably the hardest challenge I've signed up for so far as shopping is one of my favourite past times. But with a dressmaker for a mother and an overflowing wardrobe there is no reason why I would need to spend any money.

£12k of debt and lots of shoes or £0 debt?! Hmmmmm not a difficult question to answer.

Have been thinking I need to get some new 'everyday can wear with flats' jeans for a bit as i have a couple of pairs but they are getting a bit faded for my liking - was contemplating fleabay but always so hit and miss, then thought that there is The Wardrobe store in my town which sell 2nd hand clothes and split the profit 50/50 with the seller - I may well have a mooch in there before hitting the likes of anywhere else. :A
