omgoodness one coat i feel faint at the thought...my fav cruk shop sell coats for £3 and i take full advantage also worth looking in the end of sale i m and s....might count mine later to see how many more i need must be 20 plus xxx

I always thought expenditure on new coats to be justified. Until I had to pack the sodding things and realised that I spend most of my winters wearing just 2 of them

The spring ones barely get an outing as its easier to sling a shawl on.

Oh dear tessie bear, I'm going to have to go and count my coats now aren't I?? :rotfl:

Update: OMG :eek: Coat Count x 27, (I'm really shocked!), and that is after taking 4 winter coats to a chazza last week, and its not counting fleeces and waterproof walking jackets.

Actually, VfM4meplse, thinking about it I tend to have two favourites coats for winter, (one Lands End, down 3/4 coat and a smarter M & S padded jacket) both purchased in sales. In spring and autumn it tends to be either a fleece or my Hobbs trench coat, both chazza purchases. Summer tends to be wraps/shawls/scarves.

Is this an appropriate time to confess I own 5 sheepskin coats? :eek:
1 from flea market, 3 from charity shops and one from eBay.

Eek! I will stay away from the KonMari thread today.:o:o:o

I went to the £1 charity shop and bought 11 new items today and then I bought 6 more items from another charity shop.

I was reading about how to match your clothes and create outfits on blogs yesterday and I got a little carried away.:rotfl:

1 scarf
3 jumpers
2 dresses
1 skirt
3 blouses
1 jacket
4 cardigans
2 long sleeved tops

£31 spent in all. I probably won't need to buy any more clothes for 2018!

I'm getting a buzz out of your bargains - a brilliant haul for just £31.

Two longer body length tops, both black. One thin jumper from LaRedoute and one jersey top with a zip detail, Limited Collection from M&S. Both £3 from the local hospice shop.

I'm 5'8 and long ish body anyway but the rapidly growing second baby bump just adds to the problem lol
