I love "hand me downs"
I never say no to anyone wanting to get rid of clothes - I always gratefully accept them saying I will pass on the ones that I or DD's won't make use of or Fre*gle/CB them.
In fact now that I have 3 teen DD it has been known for me to accept "Hand-me-ups" from them when they have had enough of certain items.:rotfl:
Oh and don't forget to ask your local cobblers about any small leather repairs - my local one will do repairs to handbags at a small price so don't just throw or put aside your fave leather handbag if the handle is torn espically if it was expensive,ask to see how much it would cost to repair first.Crazy Clothes Challenge 2012 £57.20/£100,CCC 2013 £68.67/£100 ,CCC 2014 £94.32/£100

Hi all,
please can you put me down for £500 for the year
[/SIZE]
If I stick to this it will be nothing short of a miracle
Good luck to everyone0 -
The Monsoon cardigan - nothing less than urgh.
So its going back.
Will reduce my 'balance' accordingly when that happens.
My Dorothy perkins order arrived today - got an essential work skirt and some black trousers and a dress for £40 - just what I had for xmas money. I cant actually believe ive brought essential work wear out of what would have been in the past an excuse for a new handbag from Accessorize :S lol.
My spends do seem high at the minute. I really need to have a good few weekends of 'behaviour' and also this dorothy perkins order was 'ordered' prior to my challange begining0 -
