The Completely Crazy 2014 Clothes Challenge

TheDoolallyDilly

Still resisting spending ... although as I lost some weight I need a bra fitting, but I knew that before I joined the challenge, so bras are not included in my total as they are a necessity!

My favourite thing in my wardrobe are a pair of black knee high riding boots - they were very expensive when new (from Duo) but that was ten years ago, and I wear them so much between about the end of September to March - with skirts, with skinny jeans tucked in, with leggings etc. I've had them soled and heeled and they are still in perfect condition.

I'm a salt water sandal fan. Not cheap but so comfortable and they're fine in rain/sea too. I bought 2 pairs last July and wore one or other virtually non stop for 2 months and they will be absolutely fine this summer too. Not sure if my pumps from 2 summers ago will last a third but I can try.

Am declaring £6 for a pink soft fluffy casual/leisure wear top from sainsbobs - cant find a decent dressing gown to replace the one the dog ate into but this will do until the time I do find "the one"

Popping in to declare £8.61 spent on hosiery. I was down to just one pair of tights, not good. But it means I'm spent almost to the end of my April allowance now and I am desperate for some new jeans. Am down to two pairs, both almost worn out. Will have to see if there are any on the £1 rail in the charity shop when I'm next in town.

Another spend. This time mainly on me, £15 on 3 pairs of Next Jeans in their sale for me and 3 packs of knickers from m&s which were needed! But i also bought Knickers for DD2 for when she potty trains, Vests for DS for winter and a dress for DD - This seems to be a common problem for me, I seem to want to get something for all of them all of the time!

I think ill be avoiding the shops where possible now as ive spent £60 this month :mad: Made £3 though selling some sleepsuits and expecting a further £4 for more baby bits sold x

Hi All xx

Still no spends for me this year!!

But...I've got a piece of uni work to be in on Monday and after that I'm going to look at my 'summery' clothes I put away last year.

**Scared!**

My summery wardrobe usually just looks like a bunch of old rags! Crappy vest tops etc. that I've bought for next to nothing the previous year. So will have to invest in some newies...I think. Not checked yet - maybe on Tuesday.

Fingers crossed I won't need much!

Me too! Love DUO for the fit (skinny calves here) and have 2 pairs that are about 6-7 years old and get worn alot for 6 months of the year. They are well worth the initial outlay, though managed to get the second pair in the sale.

£2 on socks - black with silver crosses on them - had to have them!

Got a t-shirt this week but Mr F decided to treat me so I'm not counting that

Have managed 9 days so far!!! It is getting easier to delete the sales emails off my phone- saw my friend yesterday and she reminded me that the sales will come round again.
Favourite thing -weekend- new flared jeans from ff with a patterned tunic from white stuff. Favourite work outfit - blue wooly dress with thick tights and high black boots. I also love my black boots and have worn them for the most of the autumn and winter.
