The Completely Crazy 2014 Clothes Challenge

#19 also reporting with a No Spend Month for January. :j

I've been unsubscribing to emails from lots of clothes and shoes shops as this month progressed, so am pleased to not have succumbed.

Good luck to everyone for February.

Freedom Friday saw me wearing a 3/4 length sleeve black top I haven't worn for 3 years at least, underneath a pinafore dress

Aim for February: to 'shop' inside my wardrobe and create at least 2 'new' outfits a week .

Well after trying really hard, I gave in and bought the jeans in the sale so that's £40. This makes my total £60 so far spent this year. Not buying anything else till the summer now! I Hope!

Well done to all the Jan NS achievements!! Really inspirational and well done. I think Jan is my worse month as too tempted by "sales". Anyhow, coming in to confess a £16 spend on a next jumper. I actually ordered it in the sale in Dec together with a pair of leather boots for £40 but they only came yesterday. The boots are going back as I really don't "need" them, but I do really love the jumper so am keeping it and adjusting my budget accordingly. I plan to put it away until Sept / Oct and I will have a lovely new jumper for next season!!

I may only be a few days into this challenge but you are having a positive influence on me already. Hovered over a few ebay purchases this weekend which were going for a great price, but stopped myself as I didn't "need" them. Saved me around £15.

This is going to be a steep learning curve for me I think. I need to change my shopping habits away from "bargain" mentality and more into what I actually "need" to enhance my wardrobe.

Goal for this week is to start the wardrobe sort out and get my "going going gone" bag set up to see what I might miss.

Good luck for Feb everyone. Stay strong & resist!! :rotfl:

Hey, I think you missed me! I declared a NO SPEND January a few posts back but I'm not on the front page. Not that it matters but thought I'd let you know
Well done everyone so far!

There you go lavenderlover, front page updated now!


On a different note my wonderful mum treated me to some new essentials - undies, socks and vest tops all for work as my current ones are just about worn out. All meaning I can stick to a no spend day, blimey it worked out well today!

Hi
inspired by the no spenders and the fact that I only spent £3 in January I am going to try a no spend month :A

I've also had a couple of charity bags through the door which I have filled after having a bit of a sort out of stuff no longer wanted/fits etc. Still plenty left to choose from.

A few bits going on ebay too.
