The Completely Crazy 2014 Clothes Challenge

fedupandskint

Welcome back debbiedeejay, I've added you to the list and good luck!

I'm also known at work for not spending on clothes these days and also causing jaw dropping moments when I reveal how little certain items cost. It's a good conversation starter and you can discover how much other people spend on clothes on credit cards as I have discovered at work. That's one thing I won't be going back to set any point.

I know what you mean about people buying clothes with credit - several people i know have £1k+ balances on their n3xt accounts. I shudder when i think of the 30% apr!

Don't get me wrong, i like that store and have an account myself, but by leaving items on there longer than a month the clothes start to cost more and more but people dont always rationally think about it.

Okay, I am going to sign up too. Can I have a budget of £300, please? I am sick of wasting money on clothes that end up at the back of my wardrobe and never get worn.

I'm in too, after the failure of last year!! All my money this year needs to go towards debt and saving.

Think I am going to go for a budget of £250 for the year. I am going on holiday and may need some summer clothes for this but apart from that I don't need anything. Going to get some boots and shoes re-heeled.

Thanks for starting us off fedupandskint.

Hello all!

Thank you for running this threat! I am looking forward and I was excited till I read some of you are going to spend 'only zero or £100' in clothes this year? I am so impressed!
I guess I have to brave up and give up in most of the things I enjoyed till recently! I need to do it if I want to achieve the goals I set to achieve this year!

I will go and think realistically how much I will put aside to spend money in my clothes for the year.

Sending you all lots of warmth regards...

I've attempted this several times over the years.....and failed!
2014 though is one where I NEED to lower my expenses and restock the savings account as this year has been very expensive!
I'm going to aim for £100 max

I'm actually hoping for zero as I have loads of clothes but might need some underwear and possibly some hiking boots and tennis trainers if mine wear out.

Hi,

I'd like to join please. I'm going to set myself a budget of £100. I have a ridiculous amount of clothes, particularly shoes and coats. I am in the process of trying to be ruthless and sell loads of these on fleabay because my wardrobe is bursting with stuff that never sees the light of day. Hopefully, this time next year I'll have plenty of my budget left, have made some extra cash and my wardrobe will be more streamlined :A

Hi!

I mostly spend my time on the Old Style board, but spotted this thread and would love to join in! Clothes, shoes and bags are my weakness! I used to spend an awful lot on clothes - still do but now most of it is from ebay and charity shops. I have more clothes than I could get through in about 5 years I think :cool:

So anyway, I'd like to set a target of £240. I'm hoping most of that will come out of the money I get from selling stuff on ebay!
