The Completely Crazy 2014 Clothes Challenge

pavlovs_dog

survived a trip into town without spending a penny. Talked myself out of going into primarni so avoided all temptation.

A pair of el cheapo earrings that hadn't left my ears since the day I bought them finally broke this week. Instead of buying new I just replaced them with something from the stash of unworn and unloved earrings.

I've also managed to shift a lb or two this week. Be a while before I can shop the wardrobe, but a lb off is a lb off

nillionaire

Could I please join with a budget of £300 ?

I don't really need any clothes this year if I'm honest with myself but that is never usually enough to stop me! I have a pretty serious urban outfitters obsession!

Think I could manage it and need to because I am a student and my money is going to be very tight this year !

Thanks

Well, I popped into town, to buy a fan heater (our boiler is broken, and it's flipping freezing!)and although I looked around a few shops, I didn't buy anything at all :A was a bit tempted by some of the new spring stock, but am going to work out what I need. A couple of years ago I started to organise and buy my clothes in 'capsules' grouped around certain colours, which means I have more outfits, but less clothes, and it's really easy to see whether something new will fit in with my existing clothes.

Welcome nillinaire to the Crazy Clothes challenge, good luck with your budget and please pop back on to let us all know how you are getting on with you'd budget.

A no spend weekend here making it number 12 days of no clothes spends and nearly 9 months since I bought any clothes or shoes, weird!

Amazing!

We now gave 50 members of the Crazy Clothes Challenge!

Great going girls, now let's stick to those budgets!

I've bought 2 jeans and a dress off Facebook via PayPal but I don't declare any paypal spends usually as it's 'my money' to buy whatever I want with so I don't declare it on my budgets, it's off grid, like an offshore account :rotfl: so I have spent £11 that's from paypal which I won't be officially declaring (I feel I should mention the spend though, lol)

So still at £27.99/£500

On the "losing weight and regaining the use of the 3 suitcases of clothes in the loft" note. Lost 3lbs this week :j

Well done! I also have a suitcase in the loft with my "skinny" clothes. I've joined a diet class so hopefully i can join you on the weightloss.

PS. PJs are amazing!

ETA: 9 months! what an amazing achievement Fedup

I've earned about £12 on e3ay which by my rules can be used to purchase clothes but I am still resolute that i don't need anything so shall not be counting it I want to wait until i'm more confident with my size so i can buy some lovely new clothes

Going4TheDream

Could I join please! Last years zero spend all year was a bit hardcore, but I did it. Got rather a lot of stuff for xmas and still have a couple of gift cards (that I wont include in the total as they are gifts!) so I am going for a modest spend of max £125

Went out into the sales with DM today so I have come to confess...

Bought 2 x pairs or shoes and some tights in primarni. One pair were some ballet pumps, the other some teal suedette going out shoes which I haven't yet found out if I can walk in...these may still be returned.

1 x tshirt in Zara for 3.99
Pair of boots in house of Fraser for 30, down from 75. They have a low heel, are knee high with a shearling type cuff. They're nice, but I don't know if I love them, have toe weeks to return.

Then, bargain if the day, a little ditsy type print cotton skater dress in primarni. DM said for £5 she'd buy it for me as a late Xmas gift...till price £2 :T I nearly got two :rotfl:

After my clear out yesterday I need to start wearing some things I don't wear and work out what I genuinely do need, which prob isn't that much.
