The Completely Crazy 2012 Clothes Challenge

Antwacky

I'd really like to join this challenge please. I lost weight last year, had a huge clear out and bought loads of new clothes so I really don't need anything this year at all!

So I'm going to be brave and aim for no spending on clothes all year!

Goodness, my budget isn't even going to last til the end of January at this rate! Although I finally now have everything to wear to my brothers wedding next month so can start avoiding the clothes shops altogether.

I have bought a shrug for £15 from Coast (should have been £55), jewellery from Debs for £4.50 (should have been £15) and black shoes from Debs as well, they were full price at £30 but scanned through the till at £24, hurray!

Also had a £10 gift voucher for M&S so put this towards stomach hiding pants, left £9.50 to pay and picked up a £3 bra in clearance and 2 pairs of patterned tights for £1 each, the full price for the tights was £12 :eek: Its no wonder they were in clearance!

I think that means I have spent £68 of my £100 budget :eek::eek::eek:

Lets see how long the last £32 can last me!!

I have still been good! I would love to just buy a few pieces that make me look good/smart/not a bag lady... a girl can dream!

I am happy to say i have not spent a penny. I cannot believe this, especially with all the sales at the moment. Lets see how long this is going to last.

Keep it up everyone

Hi all,

Naughty purchase of a purple tunic dress from Warehouse which was bought purely for a perk me up. Didn't even bother to try it on! So not officially declaring it until I've tried it on! Have remembered I'm going out on Saturday with a bunch of girls who are total fashionistas. Half of me wants to go blow the budget on a new dress, rest of me wants to just wear something I already have. Exceot I don't have anything. But I must do. But I don't ...arrrggggghhhhh!

That's why underwear, jewellery and shoes aren't in my budget!! I can spend what I want on thise - but mainly because that isn't a problem, it's the clothes that get me!

Hiya everyone

I have been meaning to say about CS shopping for a while - the ones near me are very expensive in my opinion - expecially with sales on when you can buy current season / exactly what you want for the same price e.g even torn - not just stitching undone but actual material torn dresses are over £10 each - and they aren't even a very expensive label :eek:

Hoping to get out to some carboots later in the year and hopefully nab some bargains from these which should help my budget a fair bit too

And jumble / rummage sales - ooh how i miss these!

Hello all!Just checking in to catch up on the thread really. No spends to declare, yippee! Luckily I bought three "going-out" tops before Christmas and have managed so far to rotate these so everytime I go out with a different group, I feel like I'm wearing something new. :-)Another 2lbs lost this week. One pair of work trousers feel too big now and I keep having to hoick them up but I do have a pair hidden somewhere in the wardrobe which are a size too small (bought in sale last time I went on a health kick thinking I'd slim into them) so should manage a while longer.Keep up the good work xxx

No spends to report as of today: really haven't seen anything I fancy on the rare occasions I've been to the shops. Nothing made from the fabric stash, either:o Early days, though.:D
