The Completely Crazy 2013 Clothes Challenge

debbiedeejay

Just skimming through to declare a whole £3.99 spent on a caramel batwing long floaty cardi - saw it in a CS in town on Friday and I knew it would work with rest of wardrobe I have so it was quickly snapped up and I haven't stopped wearing it since!

so thats

004 £3.99/£100

Am happy with that:)

Well done to all for no or little spends!

Declaring £14 on a gorgeous summer top reduced from £35. Had my eye on that for a while and couldn't resist for that price. Matches perfectly to a pair of trousers I bought in the sale last year for £7 - brilliant outfit for £21 - if it ever gets warmer that is!

Other spends came to £30 and I used my giftcard for that which were 2 short sleeved tie knot summer blouses which I expect to get a lot of wear out of for high summer and holidays and another blouse I'm still deciding on - really nice but not sure if its worth £18 from £25.

Also had a tidy out of spring and summer clothes and decided that there isn't much need. Let me see if I can bring the spends down further in April to below this months spend of £14

I tried to return some stuff to Zara today but it turned out they were a few days past the 30 day return period:( they wouldn't do an exchange either so im stuck with it lol. I've put the dress on ebay and looks like il have to keep the top...

Top £7.99
ebay spends: two zara smart coats (i think i've reignited my coat obsession this year?!)
Black coat £14.50
Grey coat £10.99

(Although i didnt have to pay for the ebay things with 'real cash' because i sold a dress for £26 plus p&p and the paypal money covered it, il still count it towards the total, for now anyway. Last year i offset loads of things then it just got out of hand! I was selling ££s of old stuff and buying ££s of new stuff )

Previous total: £161.98/£500
New total: £194.46/500 (25.49 offset)

043: £194.46/£500

Well its pay day for me tomorrow so declaring a 3rd month of zero spend so still on track for a zero spend for the year. I havent been tempted at all yet despite having a wander with OH last weekend around a few shops for him.

We are a quarter way through the year already (wow where does it go) so am really pleased to have stuck to the challenge so easily so far.



No17 Zero spend/ Zero budget

Assuming I'm allowed to join in...

£5 /£90 (remaining for 2013 = £85)

Hadn't thought ahead and washed enough clothes, so had to buy some Bridget's from Morrisons.

I'm still holding out, I gave a friend Primarni's seamless Sloggi-style pants for her b'day in Dec, and she begged me to get her some more pairs, so I crossed the Primarni threshold on Fri. Was v. tempted by a pair of jeans reduced by £12 but held out and bought just the pants plus a little vest top for DGD.

EchoDelta

I'm here to report a spend - £ 10.80 on a cardigan in Monsoon. Reduced from £36 and will be worn and worn!

£10.80/£100
